白银时代

Rate this book
《白银时代》是当代作家王小波创作的中篇小说集,收录了作者的三部经典小说:《白银时代》《2010》《2015》。

作者用两条线来叙述,一条线描写蹲派出所、挨鞭刑的画家、小说家,以及他们不同寻常的爱情;另一条线则描写他自己作为未来的史学家,因为处世要遵循治史原则而犯下种种“错误”,他回到原来的生活、身分,成了没有任何欲望的“正常人”。

这两套叙述时时交叉、重合。在所谓的写实与虚构的冲突里,作者创造出任由它穿插、反讽、调侃和游戏性分析的情境来。

与其说这是对未来世界的预测,不如说是现代生活的寓言,是反乌托邦故事。主人公生活的未来世界不仅不比现在更好,反而变本加厉地发展了现代生活中的荒谬。
