新世纪以来,小说的主流意识,已成为创作的一大热点。对题材与叙述方式的选择,成为不少作家的锐意指向。姚立发新近出版的长篇小说《叱咤龙城》(作家出版社出版),并没有刻意追求,只是选择了自己“烂熟于心”的社会领域—城镇化建设作为题材。然而,无心插柳,一不小心填补了中国长篇小说创作题材的一项空白。 Since the beginning of the new century, the mainstream awareness of novels has become a hot topic of creation. The choice of theme and narrative style has become the sharp intention of many writers. Yao Lifa’s recently published novel “Dragon City” (Writer Press) did not deliberately pursue, but chose his own “well acquainted with” the social field - urbanization as a theme. However, by accident, Liu accidentally filled a gap in the theme of Chinese novels.
