《金陵十三钗》是当代海外华人女作家严歌苓的一部重要的作品,在我国当代战争文学中也应该占有一席之地。这部小说的问世告诉世界,虽然近70年来抗日战争的硝烟已经散尽,但这件历史事件并不因时间的推移而远离作家与读者的视野。尽管严歌苓已经移居美国,但是她的民族意识依然十分强烈,且擅长根据个人体验,以女性的视角表现女性在特殊年代的生存困境与对救赎之路的寻求。在《金陵十三钗》中,作者将叙事的重心放在了南京13名妓女身上,叙 “The 13 Girls of Jinling” is an important piece of work by Yan Geling, a contemporary overseas Chinese woman writer, and should also have a place in the contemporary literature of war in our country. The advent of this novel tells the world that although the smoldering of the anti-Japanese war has been cleared for nearly 70 years, this historical incident has not been kept away from the perspective of writers and readers over time. Although Yan Geling has emigrated to the United States, her national consciousness is still very strong. She is also good at expressing the female predicament and the seeking for redemption of women in the special age from the perspective of women according to her personal experience. In the “Jinling 13 Hairpin”, the author focuses his narrative on 13 prostitutes in Nanjing.
