戏剧与现实交错的杰作在雷格纳·希尔部推理小说《喜欢交际的女人》里,他创造的一对独特的侦探搭档也首度登场。一位是心宽体胖、好色贪怀、爱斗嘴耍活宝的刑事主任达尔齐尔,另一位则是教养优雅、学识丰富的警官帕斯科。 自从柯南·道尔创造了华生医生作为神探福尔摩斯的搭档之后,推理小说家就经常使用这种对比手法,用一位“次要而平凡”的角色来衬托神探的不凡。这些二号人物有时候是侦探的朋友,有时候是记者,有时候是助手或忠仆,但多半不脱烘托主角的功能。但雷格纳·希尔采取了另外一种途径:他让侦探的搭档有能力也有作用,甚至是重要的互补,没有对方彼此都不是完整的;他又让两人的文化特质与思考形态南辕北辙,比较与冲突的趣味因而源源不绝。仅此一项,就是希尔对推理小说的重大贡献。 希尔的小说结构复杂紧凑,在

《1984动物农场(珍藏版)》中描述的是对极权主义恶性发展的预言人性遭到扼杀,自由遭到剥夺,思想受到钳制,生活极度贫乏、单调。特别可怕的是:人性已堕落到不分是非善恶的程度。一段写于五十年前的绝妙政治寓言让人不寒而栗:如果有一天这一切再重现……从未在任何极权国家生活过的英国人奥威尔,何以有如此天才般的预见和洞察?其实就象丁春秋的逍遥派、东方不败的日月神教,作家们不过是透视了人性中最原始而丑陋的东西。
