中国底层访谈录

Rate this book
打工仔、下岗者、村小老师到乞丐、酒鬼、赌徒,从卖笑小姐、买欢客人、死刑犯、杀手到流浪画家、民间艺人、老右派、老地主……在我们这个社会有一块为人忽视而充满艰难的弱者天地,人的欲望本能在这里极度压抑,又极度释放,人性中的善与恶、美与丑似乎在这里都得到充分彰显。

本书是对近一二十年来因各种原因被抛掷在社会寒苦角落的众生极为写实的描摹。作者采访的人物来自三教九流,无所不有,为我们展示了一个我们不熟悉却又似乎很熟悉的世界。确切地说,这些众生是我们过去的许多新闻视而不见,或者是不愿触及的,可是他们又在城市和乡村真真切切地普遍存在。作者这种"民间记忆"记录方式受到众多学者的好评,认为他所写的那些人物是一般历史从不记录的。特别是作者的写作态度,"当90年代的知识分子悠闲地坐在咖啡馆里醉眼朦胧地看着玻璃窗外的灯红酒绿时,80年代名噪一时的诗人老威却一步一个脚印地走向民间、走向底层,集数年心血完成了这部中国新闻史上从未有过的采访。"老威的工作方式是独特的,他跟采访对象笑骂在一起,说那个阶层特有的语汇,像一只倒在台上的酒瓶一样,让最畸形最惨淡的故事自然而然地流了出来。
