四川作家李浩,孜孜不倦地甚至可以說著魔似的在曆史的深處與民間打撈記憶,就如作家在《亂世遂州》中所說:“尖起一雙招風大耳,仔細聽茶客酒徒們神侃。特別喜歡聽那些三教九流的趣聞逸事,或江湖豪客們的龍門陣。”這些記憶或者叫“龍門陣”裏的人和事,在李浩的《蜀中盜誌》裏,讓我領略了李浩的才情。沒有想到的是,原來那些個零零碎碎的短小故事,如今在長篇小說《亂世遂州》長成了一棵大樹。
得益於方誌野史的打撈與啟示,得益於民間的詼諧與智慧,《亂世遂州》成了一部蔚為大觀的關於曆史關於民間的宏大敘事。當然,作為作家,其最重要的本領就是虛構,按川人的話說叫“擺龍門陣”。僅就曆史題材的小說來看,虛構的本質在於它與曆史和現實之間有偌大的空間,這一空間是作家能力和才情的展示區,或者說,在曆史與現實的這一虛構空間裏,作家才有可能成為作家。這一空間,無所不有,無所不可能成為另外一段曆史和另外一種現實圖景。書寫這另外一種現實和另外一種圖景,正是作家的使命(或許也可叫作宿命)。而且,成為隻有某一作家的認知和才情所決定的敘事文本和敘事模型。
蜀中作家李浩的機智在於,他選擇了“罪案敘事”。這一敘事模型,中外古今都屬一大流派,而且是一個讀者眾多,趨之若鶩的流派。在中土,它叫“公案小說”;在西洋,它叫“罪案小說(Crime Fiction)”。我們所稱道的,前者諸如《包公案》《施公案》《彭公案》,後者諸如柯南·道爾的“福爾摩斯”係列、克裏斯蒂的“波洛”係列。所謂“罪案敘事”,就是將敘事的中心與關節置於罪(crime)與罰(fine)的糾纏、執法者(lawman/policeman)與犯罪者(criminal)之間的鬥智鬥勇。《亂世遂州》正是這樣一部小說。
