日本私小说就是"我写我"的文学。追求"如实描写",实现"创作的我"与"被创作的我"完全一致是私小说作家的创作理念。然而,通过对比大正末年、昭和初年私小说的内、外文本,发现"事实"与"我"是模糊的、不确定的,"创作的我"与"被创作的我"之间经常产生偏离,因此私小说"如实描写"的方法只是一个神话。私小说在"创作的我"与"被创作的我"之间循环往复的过程中,述说着"自我"探求的故事。
The Japanese private novel is the literature of"I write myself". Its idea is to realize the consistency of the"creative self"with the"created self"by means of truthful recording. However,a comparison between the internal and external texts of some of the private novels appeared in later 1920 s indicates that the concepts of "facts"and "self"are vague and uncertain,the "creative self"and the "created self"often deviated with each other. Therefore the "truthful recording"is only a myth.
