中国现当代文学中的都市书写没有充分展现出现代都市的诸多特性。法国批评家巴什拉对洛特雷阿蒙的作品的读解，凸显了其富于攻击性的原始野性。陀思妥耶夫斯基在一系列作品中深入探索了盘踞在人物内心深处的原始野性，它们以超人哲学、虚无主义等形式表现；同时，他还探索了精神救赎的可能性。如何寻找精神救赎之路，成了当代都市人面临的一大挑战。

The urban writing in modern Chinese literature has not fully presented the various characteristics of modern cities. French critic Bachelard's interpretation of Comte de Lautréamont reveals his aggressive primitive wilderness. Dostoevsky explores in a series of works the primitive wilderness deep in human mind in the forms of superman philosophy and nihilism. Meanwhile, he explores the possibility of spiritual redemption. How to find spiritual redemption is a challenge that modern city dwellers face.
