文学作品如小说,倘以第一人称叙述,我们多会认为文中的“我”并不一定就是作者自己。比如莫言说他“奶奶”曾与人在高粱地里做爱,后来生下了他的“土匪爸爸”,我们就并不一定相信管谟业的家谱确如所言。但另有一类作品,如散文、纪实等,则无论其写得花哨与否,我们大抵是相信“人如其文”,作者和“叙述者”是可以合而为一的。但如果作者与叙述者的名字不一致时,则为了尊重作者起见,我通常是把这类东西当作小说来阅读的。 Literary works such as novels, if the first-person narration, we often think that the “I” in the text is not necessarily the author himself. For example, Mo Yan said that his “grandmother” had sex with someone in the sorghum and later gave birth to his “bandit father”, and we do not necessarily believe that his family tree is exactly as it stands. However, there is another category of works, such as prose and documentaries. Whether we write fancifully or not, we generally believe in “human beings as the text,” and the author and narrator can be united. But if the author and the narrator’s name are not the same, then in order to respect the author, I usually read such things as fiction.
