心武近来常说他已从文坛的中心地带转移到边缘地带,成了一个“边缘人物”。这话也对,也不对。拿七十年代末或者整个八十年代的刘心武相比,九十年代的刘心武是不那么“中心”,而有点“边缘”了。但我以为,那大致是指在文坛的权力和某些功利的影响而言。如果从真正的创作上而言,心武在九十年代追求的是一个真正的大丰收。由于各种原因,心武终于摆脱了种种重负,得以进入“绿叶居”里潜心创作了,可以进行一种真正的艺术创造,自得其乐地消费他的宝贵的生命了。心武生活得怎么样?这是仍然关心着这位驰骋于新时期文坛骁将的广大读者们所关心的。这一期,我约了几位仍然关心和了解心武的朋友一起来聊聊他,提供一些鲜为人知的第一手材料。衷心希望这组文字能受到广大读者的喜爱。 He recently said that he has shifted from the center of the literary world to the periphery and has become a “marginalized person.” This is true, too. Compared with Liu Xinwu in the late seventies or the entire eighties, Liu Xuanwu in the 1990s was not so “central” but a bit “marginalized.” But I think that is roughly referring to the power of the literary world and the impact of certain utilitarian purposes. If from a true creative point of view, the pursuit of the heart force in the nineties is a real bumper harvest. Due to various reasons, Xinsu finally got rid of all kinds of burdens and was able to enter the “Lvjuju” and devoted himself to making a true artistic creation and spending his precious life enjoying his own enjoyment. How to live a healthy life? This is still concerned about the majority of readers who are galloping in the literary arena of the new era. During this period, I talked to a few friends who still cared about and understood his heart and provided some first-hand little-known materials. Sincerely hope that this group of texts can be loved by the majority of readers.
