《兄弟》是余华新世纪的一部重要转型之作。余华从苦难叙事转到当代叙事,当下活生生的现实成为他重点强攻的对象。当代文学从不缺乏面向现实的写作,但那种现实大多为观念所统摄,在中国现代性的独特道路上,其观念意义一直大于真实意义。也就是说,活生生的现实依然未曾得到直观、本真的呈现。但直观、本真地书写现实谈何容易?余华此番猛攻现实,不免有或多或少不足,但它毕竟是一次难得的逼近当代现实的勇敢尝试。在当代文学的意义上,它不仅是书写变动中的此刻现实、塑造以李光头为代表的现实人物的一部扎实的著作,而且它为当代文学的艺术长廊增添了一双感天动地的兄弟形象,对兄弟至情的深刻呈示使得它具有了文学经典的某些特征。

"Brother" is an important work of Yu Hua in the new century, from misery narration to the contemporary narration, the present living reality becomes the object of writing. Never lack for realistic writing in contemporary literature, but the reality is mostly on the ideological ideas, unique path of modernity in China, the concept has been larger than real meaning. That is to say, living reality still have not get the intuitive and natural meaning. But intuitive and natural writing reality is not easy, Yu Hua writes reality, more or less has some lacks, but, after all, itis rare and brave to have a try. On the significance of contemporary literature, it is not only writing reality, making a character who named Li Guangtou represented the reality, but also added a contemporary literature image, the affection deep presented,which makes the work has some characteristics of the literary classics.
