这篇文稿是我父亲顾冷观的遗作,系粉碎“四人帮”后所作。记叙他在上海孤岛和沦陷区时期,主编和发行《小说月报》的起因和经过、刊物主要内容及交往的作者,此外还记录了编辑刊物期间发生的重要事件。上海出版的以《小说月报》为刊名的期刊,大致有三种。最早的一种是1907年创刊的,二十四开本,主编是亚东破佛,由竞立小说月报社发行,但只出了两期就停刊了。另一种是商务印书馆出版的,前期由恽铁樵、王西神主编,鲁迅的第一篇文言小说《怀旧》,就发表于此。1921年12卷开始改由茅盾主编,成为培养新文艺作家的摇篮。第三种《小说月报》就是我父亲主编的。“文革”结束以后,我父亲过去的文友秦瘦鸥等都有信来,邀约我父亲与他们共同整理有关“鸳鸯蝴蝶派”的史料。这篇《忆语》就与此有关。后来,不知什么缘故,没有发表。现在摩挲着这些字迹苍劲有力的文稿,不由得悲从中来。所以略加整理和注释,希冀借贵刊一角,予以发表。 This contribution is the legacy of my father’s conscience view, after smashing the “Gang of Four.” In his account of his isolated islands and occupied areas in Shanghai, he wrote and published the causes and passage of “Novel Monthly”, the author’s main content and contacts, and also recorded the important events that occurred during the editorial period. There are about three journals published in Shanghai titled “Novel Monthly”. The earliest one was published in 1907, twenty-four open book, the editor-in-chief is Yadongbaofu, by Jing Li fiction monthly newspaper issue, but only two out of suspension. The other is published by the Commercial Press. The earlier period was published by Tie Tieqiao and Wang Xi Shen, and Lu Xun’s first classical novel, “Nostalgia,” is published here. In 1921, 12 volumes began to be edited by Mao Dun, becoming the cradle of new literature and art writers. The third “novel monthly” is my father’s editor. “Cultural Revolution ” After the end, my father’s past friend Qinouou and so have a letter, invited my father to work together with them to organize the “mandarin duck butterfly pie ” historical data. This “memory” is related to this. Later, I do not know why, did not publish. Moments with these vigorous writing scripture, could not help but come from sadness. So a little collation and comments, hoping to borrow your corner, to be published.
