閱讀路易吉·馬萊巴 Luigi Malerba在小说之家的作品!!! |
馬萊巴本名路易吉·波納爾第(LuigiBonardi),1927年生於意大利北部的帕爾馬,被公認為戰後最重要的意大利作傢之一,亦是20世紀60年代著名的先鋒文藝團體“六三學社”(Gruppo63)創始人之一,該學社以成立年份命名,其發起者和追隨者多為有遠大志嚮的激進文學青年,奉行反傳統文學的理論、語言和形式,影響極大。1992年,馬萊巴獲得了著名的維亞雷焦文學奬。
馬萊巴的作品以超現實主義風格和天主教主題見長,曾有評論傢將他比作意大利的博爾赫斯。但在意大利之外,他遠未達到廣為人知的地步。英法大報對他的死訊似乎衹字未提,僅有西班牙的埃菲社刊發訃聞。令人略感意外的是,中國內地曾出版過他的名作《蛇》(Ilserpente,楊順詳譯,安徽文藝出版社,1996年),以一個郵票商的口吻,寫“我”愛上無名少女,又因妒火強烈而將她吃掉。此外,《外國文學》等雜志也發表過馬萊巴的數個短篇。
He was the first writer to win the Prix Médicis étranger in 1970. He also won the Brancati Prize in 1979, the Grinzane Cavour Prize in 1989 (with Stefano Jacomuzzi and Raffaele La Capria), the Viareggio Prize and the Feronia Prize in 1992.
