叶兆言的叙事标签甚多,先锋性、实验性、写实性、人文性、历史性等等,不一而足。不过,细看他的创作谱系,会发现他一直以来都有一个明显的叙事倾向和特点,即他很善于将个人经验和日常生活纳入对于时代的描写,将个体生命流程的变迁与社会的巨型起伏相交织,形成微观与宏观、个体与整体相嵌合的叙事格局。《滞留于屋檐的雨滴》同样体现了叶兆言的这一艺术特色。一 Many of Ye Zhaoyan’s narrative labels are vanguard, experimental, realistic, humanistic, historical, and so forth. However, a closer look at his pedigree reveals that he has always had an obvious narrative tendency and characteristic that he is very good at incorporating personal experience and daily life into the description of the times, transforming the process of individual life and the social giant Ups and downs intertwined, the formation of micro and macro, individual and the whole phase of the narrative pattern. The “Raindrops Remaining on the Eaves” also embodies this artistic feature of Ye Zhaoyan. one
