在中国当代文学中,存在一种特殊的口述史学形态,这就是文学家撰写的口述历史著作,以张辛欣、桑晔的《北京人》和冯骥才的《100个人的10年》为代表。与历史学家撰写的口述历史著作相比,文学家的口述历史具有两个重要特征:从内容上说,历史学家注重描述事件史,文学家更关注普通人的心态史。从形式上说,历史学家很少关心口述历史的审美形式,而文学家尝试运用复杂多变的叙事方式。 In Chinese contemporary literature, there is a special morphology of oral history, which is an oral history written by writers. It is represented by Zhang Xinxin, Sang Ye’s “Beijinger” and Feng Jicai’s “100 Years of 10 People.” Compared with oral historical works written by historians, the oral history of writers has two important characteristics: from the content, historians pay attention to describing the history of events, and writers pay more attention to the psychology of ordinary people. Formally, historians rarely care about the aesthetic form of oral history, and writers try to apply complex and changeable narrative methods.
