边缘

by Ge Fei, 格非

《边缘》（1993）是格非在二十世纪九十年代初将先锋小说叙事锤炼得炉火纯青的一部长篇小说。

小说以“我”在垂垂老矣之际对整个人生的回望为起点，借助无数重要的人生片段，拼凑出“我”跌宕起伏的经历——隔阂和孤独中的童年生活，残酷荒诞的青年生涯，返乡后卷入社会的滚滚洪流中……熟悉或陌生的身影在“我”的生命旅途中一一浮现，他们的故事将“我”裹挟其中，而“我”像是生活的旁观者，静静注视着他们的到来和离开。

小说从不同的人物角度展现了“边缘人”的生活面貌和脆弱的命运。记忆中的42个片段，映照出二十世纪中国波澜壮阔的历史，亦凝聚成一种悬浮于悲欢离合之上的澄澈与淡然。

About the author

Ge Fei (Chinese: 格非; pinyin: Gé Fēi; Wade–Giles: Ke Fei, born 1964) is the pen name of novelist Liu Yong (刘勇), considered by many scholars and critics to be one of the most significant of the Chinese avant-garde writers that rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s.

Ge Fei was born in Dantu, Jiangsu, in 1964. He studied Chinese literature at East China Normal University and, after graduating in 1985, began to teach there and publish short stories and novellas. He read widely during his studies, but has since noted that he was particularly influenced by Borges, Faulkner and Robbe-Grillet. Some of his early, more experimental works were translated into English in the 1990s, such as "The Lost Boat", "Remembering Mr. Wu You" and "Green Yellow".

One of Ge Fei's most celebrated works is the "Jiangnan Trilogy", which explores the concept of utopia and contains many allusions to Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber.

In 2016, The Invisibility Cloak (which had won both the Lu Xun Literary Prize and the Lao She Literary Award in 2014) was the first of his longer works to be translated into English.

很短的长篇小说。文字语言描述很精准，平静、冷淡、残酷的记录了一生。 ​​​
