About the Book

这部长篇小说乃《新华裔三部曲》的第二部(第一部《经济大逃亡》已由中国工人出版社于2001年出版,并于2006年再版),分开篇 "季前色:天使的灰客",上篇"夏之色:天使的红月",中篇"秋之色:天使的棕木",下篇"冬之色:天使的蓝调"与结篇"春之色:天使的绿野"等五篇共十六章。可以说整体的故事是在人脉与环境的"色谱"中,以分阶切题的步骤,并非真以季节顺序,而陆续展开的。


小说主要刻画男主人公庄大森。这是一个在黑与白夹杂的灰色地带冒出的角色,堪称"灰客",其与"高大全"式的人物相差何止万里。不过,此公至少是一个前半生在最坏境遇时"盗亦有道",而在最好状态时,虽称不上完美君子,但后半生也算"取之有道的爱财者",并尚存恻隐,而不像当今那些毫无底线的人渣。大森被大富豪姑妈庄普雅选中参与遗产继承权的竞争,而竞争对手乃庄普雅的外甥戴维。他于2000年奔赴美国,在称为天使城的洛杉矶,在朦朦胧胧前途未卜的"红月"心境中,几乎白手起家开拓以"棕木"为标记的家具产业,经过同美国文化"蓝调"般的撞击与融合,于19年后终获相当成功的故事,初步创建了春意盎然的"绿野"综合生态工程。在这个人的身上,有太多在美国生存和发展的华人的影子。


本小说含有旧生代、中生代以及新生代华人华侨在美国生存和发展的几乎所有重要元素:血缘、人缘、地缘、业缘、情缘、友缘所产生的各种社会关系,以及创业、家庭、婚姻、性爱、代沟、人伦价值、生活目的、行为方式、各族裔关系、不同文化的撞击与融合,与对美国主流社会的融入等等。


本小说还是以刻画旅美华人生活的正面、光明面与积极向上面为主,尽管他们有时也会用一些不合常规的方式,来一次次克服人生中的逆境和困苦。不过某些负面与阴暗面,如黑道犯罪以及固有的文化劣根性等,也如一条悠长的纽带,贯穿在他们千姿百态的生存图景中。


本小说想要表达的东西还远不只此。首先是企图打破以往反映旅美移民故事的某种局限性和刻板性,以中美文化撞击与融合的大格局为背景,以洛杉矶这个有地域特色的华人生活为亮点,并以鸽子树(珙桐树)的寓意,来深一步表现和刻画人物。鸽子树象征了和平、爱情和真诚;由于它被引种和移植到了全球各地,因而又象征了华人移民的精神。而且,鸽子树本身与剧中主要人物的身世、命运,甚至事业息息相关,此外在历史上,它特殊的经济用途也正与主人翁庄大森从事的家具业紧密相连。借男主人公庄大森与其他几位主要人物以及数十位重要配角人物的人脉关系,以及因此所交织的三条主次线索,使人物、冲突、情节、悬念和高潮都充满张力,而得以全面深入地展开。
