曹乃谦是中国当代写作成就最被忽视的作家之一。他以原质朴的笔触,记录着发生在中国山西雁北乡村人类命运的两大主题,“活着”与“死去”。笔者认为,这部散文集最大的特点是悲剧叙事中的温暖底色、平静的死亡叙事以及独树一帜的几乎纯方言的叙事风格。 Cao Naian is one of the most overlooked writers in contemporary Chinese writing. With his simple brushwork, he recorded two major themes of the fate of mankind in rural Yan Bei, Shanxi Province, China: “living” and “dying.” In my opinion, the greatest feature of this essay is the warm background in the narrative of the tragedy, the calm narrative of death and the almost pure dialect narrative style of the unique dialect.
