铁凝小说经历了少女系列到女性叙事的转变,风格开始由以往的清新转向凝重,在人物形象和叙事模式上都有所突破,尤其善用网状人际结构和离间人物心理来凸显人物的个性。但是纵观铁凝成熟期后的一系列作品,其创作方面的不足也逐渐暴露出来,例如人物类型以及故事情节的模式化。尽管铁凝的生活经历为她提供了丰富的创作素材,但也使她的创作无法迈向更高的境界。事实上,从作家自身经历的视角探讨创作局限,本质上是在探讨作家如何根植于自身的人生经历和心灵体验,但又能理性地超越自身获取更广泛生活经验的问题。
From the girls series to the women narrative works, the writing styles of Tiening' s novels have developed from fresh to dignified, and the characters and narrative mode has also made a breakthrough, especially she is good at using the reticular structure of interpersonal and alienating character psychology to express the character' s personality. However, a series of works later published gradual|y exposed some defects, such as the stereotype in character types and the plot. Although Tiening' s life experience provides rich material for her, but also makes her works cannot transcend. In fact, discussing the creation limitation from the perspective of the writers own experience, we are probing that rooted in their own life experiences and spiritual experience, how the writers can get self -transcendence, so as to obtain broader life experience.
