一余一鸣是一位非常机敏且又不乏情怀的作家。他喜欢从那些庸常世俗的生活入手,将一些红男绿女置于各种尴尬或错位的人生境域之中,由此凸现种种复杂而吊诡的人性面貌。但人性又并非他的叙事目标,而只是他的叙事“桥段”;他试图通过那些诡异的人性,揭示这个欲望时代的伦理乱象,极力彰显人们应有的道德意识。在他的短篇小说中,这一情形尤为突出。从《最后的刀锋》、 More than one Yiming is a very alert and authoritative writer. He likes to start from those vulgar and secular life, put some red men and women in a variety of embarrassing or misplaced life context, thus highlighting all kinds of complex and paradoxical human nature. However, human nature is not his narrative goal, but his narrative “bridge ”; he tries to reveal the ethical chaos in this age of desires through these weird humanities, and exemplifies the ethical awareness people should have. In his short story, this situation is particularly prominent. From “The Last Blade”
