作为新文学史上一位重要作家,吴组缃的短篇小说虽然数量不多,但却是一座有待进一步开掘的小说美学宝藏。吴组缃短篇小说的独特性在于:其既在创作立场和思想倾向上与启蒙文学、左翼文学相通,但在艺术上又明显与之拉开距离,自成格局,成为“左翼作家中最成功的农村小说家”;其既以乡土题材、风格取胜,又区别于那些脱离社会现实、思想弱化,一味追求艺术上“纯美”的乡土小说。吴组缃严格坚持现实主义创作方法,在与社会和时代的密切联系中,彰显了短篇小说自身的美学价值。真切深刻地反映现实生活,是吴组缃创作的宗旨;而写“我所熟悉的人和事”则是他把握社会和时代的艺术方式。因此,他以对皖南乡村经验的独特叙述,不仅为新文学乡土小说开拓了新的领地,也为现代短篇小说创作提供了新鲜的艺术经验。 As one of the important writers in the history of new literature, Wu Zhiban’s short story, though in small quantities, is a treasure trove of aesthetics to be further explored. The unique features of Wu’s short stories are that they not only communicate with enlightenment literature and left-wing literature in their creative positions and ideological tendencies, but also obviously distance themselves from the art and become the most successful among the left-wing writers Rural novelist “. It not only wins by local themes and styles, but also differs from those native novels which are stripped of social reality and weakened in thought, pursuing art ” pure “blindly. Wu group strictly adhere to the realistic method of creation, in close contact with the society and the times, highlighting the aesthetic value of the short story itself. The real and profound reflection of real life is the tenet of Wu Zuolin’s writing; and his ”I am familiar with people and things " is his art of grasping society and the times. Therefore, his unique narration of rural experience in southern Anhui not only opened up new territory for the new literature and local novels, but also provided fresh artistic experience for the creation of modern short stories.
