《人虫变》创作于一九九三年，是一部苏联瓦解后社会群众生活面貌的写真。它是一部科幻奇想小说，也可以说是黑色喜剧版的《蜕变》，但没有卡夫卡作品的沉重，加入了斯拉夫人的戏谑，读来趣味横生，发笑的同时也令人深深思索剧中人的处境困窘。 《人虫变》的文学传统可以追溯至俄国十九世纪擅以怪诞讽刺手法称着的果戈里，媲美二十世纪初德文作家卡夫卡「蜕变」?的荒谬批判味道。作者犹如一名社会行为的心理观察者，打破以往刻画脑袋里的思维蜕变，直接以躯体外的转型控诉环境的残酷、无奈和荒谬。 二十世纪末的俄国政治社会经历重大变迁，不仅对一般民众的精神层面上造成巨大的冲击，甚至刺激整体行为思想的转型和发酵；对作者来说，「肉体异形」──昆虫社会，最能凸显当今人民的精神炼狱。 故事发生在克里米亚岛的观光胜地，人不知怎么变成了蚊子。读者将在文中遇上急欲和嗜血成性的美国...(展开全部)
