拿出珍爱的“猪油白”盖碗,强雯泡了碗热腾腾的盖碗红茶。双手捧着茶杯,腋窝夹着书笔,她在自家阳台上的那把转椅落了座。

翻开不久前才买的《契诃夫小说全集》第八册,强雯一边细细品味,一边拿笔勾画。读完《古塞夫》这篇短篇小说,强雯在第89页的文末空白处写下了这样一段话——“这是一篇关于死亡的小说,充满了小说的艺术性……尤其是最后古塞夫的死,突兀又诗意、残忍又优美,艺术地抨击了当下的黑暗,技巧很好。”

看书、写书,书是强雯家的主角。除了书柜,客厅的茶几、沙发,甚至音箱上,都堆满了书。其实强雯大学念的是影像工程专业,不过后来觉得拍片太奔波,她“抛弃”摄像机当了图书编辑,正式和图书打起了交道。也正是那几年,日夜和汉字打交道的强雯,渐渐爱上了这一个个方块字,开始试着写小说。

2004年,强雯完成了她的首部小说《青涩》,并发表在《人民文学》2004年第4期上。

为了有更多的创作空间,强雯跳槽到报社当起了文化记者。那些年,她的人生仿若开了挂——不仅进入鲁迅文学院青年作家班深造,她创作的小说也频频在《人民文学》《十月》《中国作家》《红岩》等国内重量级文学刊物上发表,并多次荣获重庆文学奖、巴蜀青年文学奖、红岩文学奖等荣誉。

Taking out her cherished "lard white" covered bowl, Qiang Wen made herself a pot of black tea. Holding the teacup with both hands and a book and a pen in her armpits, she sit down in the swivel chair on her balcony.

Opening Volume 8 of Collected Works of Chekhov’s Novel, which was bought not long ago, Qiang Wen read it carefully, and drew some lines with a pen from time to time. Finishing reading the short story Gusev, Qiang Wen wrote such a line in the blank space on page 89: "This is a novel about death, full of the artistry of novel... Especially in the end, Gusev’s death was abrupt yet poetic, cruel yet graceful, artistically attacking the darkness with good skills."

Reading and writing books are the routines of Qiang Wen. Books make up the biggest part of her life. In addition to bookcases, the tea table, sofa and even sound box in her living room are full of books. In fact, Qiang Wen studied Imaging Engineering in university. But later she was so tired of shooting that she "abandoned" camera and became a book editor, beginning her career with books. It was also in those years that Qiang Wen, who dealt with characters day and night, gradually fell in love with the characters and began writing novels.

In 2004, Qiang Wen completed her first novel Youth and published it in the 4th issue of People’s Literature in 2004.

To acquire more space for creation, Qiang Wen jumped ship to a newspaper office and became a cultural journalist. In those years, she stunned others with incredible competence and capability --not only did she entered the young writers’ class of Lu Xun Literary Institute for further study, but her novels were frequently published in domestic heavyweight literary publications such as People’s Literature, October, Chinese Writers and Hongyan, and won many honors such as Chongqing Literature Prize, Bashu Youth Literature Prize and Hongyan Literature Prize.

出書讲重庆言子的故事Publishing a Book about Chongqing Dialect

去年,強雯出了一本新书。和以往的小说不同,这本书摆的是龙门阵,从书名《重庆人绝不拉稀摆带》就能猜到,讲的是重庆言子。这本书收录了85个重庆言子,于方言中融汇民俗、掌故,无论是人情世故,还是性格饮食,读来都饶有趣味。
