从《红楼梦魇》看《红楼梦》对张爱玲的影响

《红楼梦魇》是文学家张爱玲情节化操作之外的特例,这部关于《红楼梦》的考据和评点专论,是她穷毕十年精力的后期作品。张爱玲对《红楼梦》及研究的“疯狂”是其这部学术专论的表征,而她与《红楼梦》及其作者之间的文化传承关系是这部专论的非学术隐义。张爱玲与曹雪芹文人品格的共性,源于他们共同的末世之感;张爱玲继承了《红楼梦》对悲剧本原的演绎方式,将《红楼梦魇》作为自己的间接诉情文本。《红楼梦魇》的完成过程,是张爱玲消解其对时代与人性的悲剧感,表达情感最后归宿的过程。同时,《〈红楼梦魇〉自序》为审视张爱玲与《红楼梦》及作者的情感渊源,考察她与曹雪芹在精神特质、审美传达等方面的契合,深入研究张爱玲的创作意识和文本意义,提供新的考察视角。
