About Gene Wolfe


Gene Wolfe's enigmatically stylish first novel The Fifth Head of Cerberus, with its meditations on identity, shape-shifting aliens and variously abused clones, made him instantly a figure to watch, as did short stories like the ones contained in The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories. His most important book is The Book of the New Sun, a quartet consisting of The Shadow of the Torturer, The Claw of the Conciliator, The Sword of the Lictor and The Citadel of the Autarch. Severian, an apprentice torturer, wanders towards his destiny in a far future world that is always more complex than it appears; a cyborg fellow prisoner turns out to be a robot patched with flesh. A narrative involving escapes, betrayals, sword-fights, miracles and battles is also a complex text involved in games of allusion that range from Dickens to Borges; the four volumes contain almost a book's worth of interspersed stories and fables. Other major Wolfe works include various slightly less elaborate sequels to The Book of the New Sun--The Urth of the New Sun, The Book of the Long Sun--and the inventive urban fantasy Free Live Free .

以《拷问者之影》（The Shadow Of The Torturer, 1980）开始的“新日之书”（The Book Of The New Sun）四部曲。这四部大部头长篇（后来还加上了第五部）组成了极为浩大的一部小说，讲述一位年轻拷问者穿越陌生未来世界的漫游。这个系列中的小说先后获得世界奇幻奖、星云奖和坎贝尔纪念奖。其他精彩作品：以《夜面长日》（Nightside The Long Sun, 1993）开始的一个新的“长日”（Long Sun）系列。

吉恩·沃尔夫（Gene Wolfe），1931年生于美国纽约，在德克萨斯州长大，而现在住在伊利诺斯州。毕业于休斯敦大学的吉恩在参加过朝鲜战争后一直就职于一家商业周刊，直到1984年退休后才转入全职写作。然而，要让我们来评选上个世纪最受欢迎或者最有影响的科幻作家，那么，吉恩·沃尔夫很可能会名列其中。

吉恩于1967年，他37岁时才发表了第一篇科幻小说，名为《Trip, Trap》，可谓是大器晚成了。随后，他路路续续发表了大量短篇乃至长篇小说。在吉恩早期创作生涯中，他的大部分精品短篇都收录在美国科幻暨奇幻作家协会（SFWA）创始人达蒙·耐特的年选中，这些小说融合了许多当时流行的题材，诸如外星人、克隆技术、人性永恒等。这其中就包括著名的KAFKA系列，一些知名的篇目有《死亡博士岛》、《博士岛的死亡》等。其中《博士岛的死亡》为吉恩赢得了第一尊星云奖奖杯。在整个二十世纪七十年代，吉恩·沃尔夫始终以一个可观的速度推出短篇小说，十年间，他至少发表了七十个短篇。到了上世纪八十年代，他则把注意力越来越多地放在长篇小说的创作上。

吉恩·沃尔夫的第一部长篇小说是1970年的《战神行动》（Operation ARES），讲述了二十一世纪的美国被他们所抛弃的火星移民入侵的故事，这本书很自然地被出版商大幅删减，只能说差强人意。随后推出的《冥府看门犬的第五只头》（THE FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS，1972年）包括三个相对独立的故事，将外星人、人类学、克隆技术以及其它因素融汇到了一起。这是一部比较有代表意义的小说，它初步确定了吉恩的风格。如果在阅读他的小说时，你没有全神贯注，那么很难读懂，甚至理不清头绪；时不时地反回头去重读几乎是必然的。

此外，1975年的《和平》（Peace，在当代美国中部发生的死生者的故事，也许是吉恩最难以理解、最个人化的作品）、1976年的《森林恶魔》（The Devil in a Forest，一本设定在神圣罗马帝国时期的少年读物）尽管幻想因素不多，但却是理解他创作理念以及个人思想的好读物。

吉恩·沃尔夫目前为止最有名的作品要属“新日之书”系列了，它给吉恩带来了广大的读者群，赢得了很大的声誉。这个系列的主体是一本篇幅极长的小说，但出于商业原因被拆分成四册出版，分别为《拷问者之影》（The Shadow of the Torturer，1980年）、《抚慰者之爪》（The Claw of the Conciliator，1981年）、《扈从者之剑》（The Sword of the Lictor，1982年）和《独裁者之堡》（The Citadel of the Autarch，1983年）。小说的主人公是一个名为塞沃林的拷问者学徒，他刚刚毕业，成为一个完全的刽子手；命中注定地，他在这个被秩序与仪式充斥着的世界中沿着一条奇异的轨迹前行，卷入了一场战争，并被年迈的独裁者指定为接班人，最终成为世界的统治者。当然，最终，他也不免一死。从情节上来看，这是一套奇幻小说，但其中也掺杂了很多科幻因素。譬如塞沃林所在世界人们居住的巨塔，实际上是远古的宇宙飞船。这也是一个科幻与奇幻界线模糊的例子。

进入八十年代后，吉恩的长篇小说题材更加丰富多样，有的讲述时间旅行、有的描绘平行宇宙、有的代入或然历史……这其中比较有名的当属“长日之书”系列，这一回吉恩又重返“新日”世界，不过把时间点设定在了数千年以前，构建了一个大气的科幻神话，解说了一些在“新日之书”中存在的背景疑惑。从1999年起，吉恩·沃尔夫又推出了“短日之书”系列，目前出版了三部小说。看来吉恩是准备将这个自己架空出来的世界充分利用，榨尽最后一滴汁液了。

进入新千年后，吉恩撰写了一个新的奇幻系列“魔法骑士”，这个系列的第一部《骑士》（The Knight）和第二部《法师》（The Wizard）已经于2004年出版了。在这个系列中，一个美国小孩成为了主人公，他无意中被传送到其他世界中，并被赋予了成人的身体，然后向成为一个真正的骑士这个目标迈进。虽然题材很滥俗，但全文以长信的方式展开，利用小孩的语气和视角，自然能写出不一样来。尽管主人公是小孩，但吉恩的作品从来没有简单易懂过，这部作品也不例外。阅读时，成长的主线后隐藏的谜团云雾缭绕，令人难解。这个系列也被很多读者及评论家视为去年最佳奇幻。

也许吉恩·沃尔夫从未有过什么独创的科幻构思，或者说从未有过某个比较有重大开拓性的构思；当然，也没有几个拉里·尼文或者格雷格·比尔那样的作家。吉恩的贡献主要在于他对语言的控制与把握，他有一种能将各种要素无缝链接起来的能力，并且善于模仿。现在，吉恩的语言略带意味深长的讽刺，在他的许多短篇小说中甚至故意地去设计出一些类似的桥段，有时则是复杂地模仿早期的一些典范。可以说，吉恩·沃尔夫的重要之处在于两点：一是他作品中与生俱来的道德高度让人印象深刻，二是他将科幻的虚拟世界装点以多样外在的手法。
