苏童的中篇《桂花连锁集团》(《收获》二○○○年二期),通过对沉沦与自由的探讨,传递一种人生况味,绰具寓言风格。作品充分张扬了《我的帝王生涯》以降的游戏精神,想象力丰盈饱满而恰如其分,写来声情并茂,溢彩流光,直抵灵魂的深度。在现实世界里羞涩内向的苏童,在艺术王国里却长于排空驭气,骋神驰思;创作主体不枯的心智,幻化成满纸烟云,令人耳目生鲜。 Su Tong’s middle-length “Osmanthus Fragrances Chain Group” (“Harvest” 2000), through the discussion of sinking and freedom, delivers a taste of life, more than fable style. Works fully publicize the “my emperors career” to lower the spirit of the game, full of imagination and plump and appropriate, write to each other, overflowing color, reaching the depth of the soul. In the real world shy introverted Su Tong, in the art kingdom is longer than emptiness qi, Cheng Shen Chi thinking; creation of the main body is not dry mind, turned into full of clouds of cigarettes, refreshing.
