四月四号的《书城》茶座,王安忆先生开讲小说的艺术,陈村先生提前在“小众菜园”广而告之,当日高朋满座,一些不太能经常见到的朋友也在人群中出现,空气中有一种热烈、欢乐而又稍微有点屏息的味道。一开始,王安忆先生就提出了一个开阔的话题:人与世界的关系。这种关系区分了什么是小说,什么是诗,也决定了置身于这种关系中的人会是什么样的人,做什么样的事。接下来她开始讲故事。她曾和一个素未谋面的外国朋友约定见面,出门时手机没电了,但又觉得时间地点已约定好、于是守约地等待了半个钟头。没有人来。其实她和他在约定的地方互相看到了对方,却都没有走向对方。电子时代已经使人们相信手机胜过相信自己的眼睛。雨果的《九三年》中有一个 April 4, “Bookstore” cafes, Mr. Wang Anyi talked about the art of the novel, Mr. Chen Cun ahead of the “Little Garden”, advertisers, the day full of friends, some not often see friends are also in the crowd Appear in the air there is a warm, happy and a little breath of breath.
