作为一种重要的叙事文体,虚构固然是小说写作不可忽缺的重要艺术手段,但这种虚构却也只能是建立在纪实基础之上的虚构。从根本上说,纪实与虚构,乃是作家建构小说艺术大厦最基本的两种手段。作家固然可以对故事情节进行想象性虚构,但故事所赖以存在的社会与时代以及内中所蕴含着的人性逻辑却绝对容不得虚构。这两方面纪实的艺术手段,与优秀小说作品的生成之间是一种必要条件的关系。 As an important narrative style, fiction is an important and indispensable artistic method in fiction writing, but this fictionalism can only be a fiction based on documentary foundation. Fundamentally speaking, documentary and fiction are the two most basic means by which writers construct a fictional art building. While writers can make imaginary fiction about the story, the logic of human nature contained in the society and the times upon which the story depends and the logic contained within it can never be deceived. There is a necessary condition for the relationship between these two aspects of documentary art and the creation of excellent novels.
