知名作家路內的《少年巴比倫》的故事背景是20世紀90年代初的戴城,高中畢業後的路小路沒有考上大學,在父親的操作下到糖精廠工作。他在工作崗位上並沒有能夠掌握基本的職業技能,跟著一個叫「老牛逼」的師傅混日子。在機修班,除了拴螺絲之外什麼都不會,在電工班,就只會換燈泡。除此之外,還喜歡打架、追女人、惡作劇。

一個偶然的機會,路小路遇到了白藍。白藍的清新脫俗瞬間吸引了他,然後在一系列陰差陽錯中他們相識並走到一起。白藍扮演了路小路生命中姐姐與啟蒙導師的角色,最後路小路在白藍的建議下報考了大學夜間部,白藍也到上海去讀研究所,至此,兩個人踏上了屬於各自的生命旅途。

路內以幽默粗俗的語言、調侃不屑的語氣,在小說《少年巴比倫》裡敘述了路小路等一群生活在城市,賣命於工廠的底層人物的愛情、友情、事業。其城市書寫不歌頌小城的繁華經濟,不表現人在經濟發展以後的富足生活與飽滿的精神狀態,他將工廠與工人作為反映城市的一面鏡子,側重寫人在城市中圍困的日常生活以及人如何在城市中尋找自己的位置。

About the author

Lu Nei

17 books2 followers
小说家,1973年生,任职于上海市作家协会。2007年在《收获》杂志发表长篇小说《少年巴比伦》而受到关注,至2013年,发表于《收获》和《人民文学》共五部长篇小说。2014年以《天使坠落在哪里》为最终篇完成70万字的“追随三部曲”。

Announcing himself as "one of the least-educated young writers in China," Lu Nei seems to have profited rather than lost by a life that began in struggle. Since the age of 19 he held a series of menial jobs around China—drifting, exploring, fighting, and observing. His interest in literature began while he had a job watching dials in a factory, and plenty of reading time on his hands. Even now, with a certain level of critical success under his belt, he refuses to give up his day job in an advertising company.

Born in Suzhou, that city provides common background for both of his novels, Young Babylon and On the Trail of Her Travels. The first recounts the semi-farcical adventures of a young man much like himself, while the second is the story of a group of disaffected youth in a small town, who suddenly decide to take their futures into their own hands…
