《第九个寡妇》是严歌苓将写作视角转向民间大地的一次成功的尝试,作家通过对宏大历史叙事的解构,对“一女多男”民间隐形结构的驾驭以及对王葡萄“地母”般神性光辉形象的塑造,使小说显示出巨大的民间活力和人性光彩,表现自己的民间写作立场。 “The 9th Widow” is a successful attempt by Yan Geling to turn the perspective of writing into the private land. Through the deconstruction of the grand historical narration, the writer tries to master the stealthy civil invisible structure of “ Mother ”as the divine glorious image of the shape, so that the novel shows great vitality and human luster, to express their own folk writing position.
