先锋意味是刘照如小说的鲜明特点,他看重技术与形式,苦心经营叙述的各种可能性,不太在乎“写什么”,却殚精竭虑地思考“怎么写”。他不断地设置着文本的障眼法,将读者导入叙事的迷宫,在这里,人物、情节、时间地点都变得不重要,它们可以根据表达的需要而被分裂成一连串的符号碎片,或者是在不同的角色之间游离转换。其笔下经常出现的“失踪”与“追踪”、“幻象”与“幻灭”、“存在”与“虚妄”等悖论性情境,是其形式开掘的独到之处,由此传达出他内心的焦灼与迷惘,以及对人类生存状态的哲学式探索。 Avant-garde means a distinctive feature of Liu Zhaoku’s novels. He pays attention to techniques and forms, painstakingly manages various possibilities of narration, and does not care much about “what to write” but ponders over “how to write”. He constantly sets the text of the glare, the reader into the maze of narrative, where characters, plots, time and place are unimportant, they can be split into a series of symbolic fragments according to the needs of expression, or in different Free conversion between characters. His paradoxical situations such as “disappearance” and “tracing”, “illusion” and “disillusionment”, “being” and “falsehood” often appear in his pen are the uniqueness of his formal digging, Anxiety and confusion, as well as philosophical exploration of the state of human existence.
