周文讽刺小说论

集革命者和小说家为一身的周文,其讽刺小说继承、发扬了鲁迅开创的新文学讽刺传统,坚持从内蕴着自己生命体验的生活领域取材,塑造出一批以旧军阀（官僚）为主体的典型性讽刺人物形象,并形成了自己反腐朽、反庸俗、反奴性的基本讽刺主题与冷静、犀利、含而不露却又有浓郁喜剧色彩的讽刺美学风格。独特的讽刺艺术,是沟通周文革命实践与艺术实践的桥梁。

On Zhou Wen's Satirical Novels

Zhou Wen was one of the outstanding satirists during the 1930s, but now, he has not been fully known by literary critics. As a revolutionary, Zhou Wen did not regard his novels only as texts of disseminating revolutionary concepts, so he could accommodate the theme of his satirical novels with revolutionary concepts successfully in his writing. And through selecting materials with which he was familiar, he used all sorts of techniques about satire to figure three types of roles satirized pointedly by him. Among them, warlords or bureaucrats who were wicked and corrupt in the old China are most striking. We can infer that the theme of ZHOU Wen＇ s satirical novels is about revolting corruption, criticizing mediocre and humble person or against slavishness through analyzing those parts satirized. The aesthetic features of Zhou Wen＇s Satirical Novels can be summarized as full - bodied and comedic flavor extremely covered by his dispassion.
