曹乃谦的小说虽取材于70年代的雁北农村,但有意淡化时间和空间背景,以片段化故事着笔于食色本能给人们造成的强大冲击以及由此带来的生存悲剧。为展示这一主题,作品多采用有限全知的叙述视角,配合以内视角和外视角,给读者留下巨大的想象空间。 Although Cao Naian’s novels are based on the rural areas of Yanbei in the 1970s, they deliberately played down the time and space background, and wrote the fragmentary story as a powerful impact on the people and the resulting tragedies of survival. In order to showcase this theme, his works mostly use limited and omniscient narrative perspectives, with the perspective of inside and outside perspective, leaving readers with a huge imagination.
