Mo Yan's "change of law" in his prime years >>
Xu Zechen (Writer)
The year has come to an end, and it is time to take stock. Counting a book reader, combing through the books you have read in a year is a serious matter. I don't like to give people a book list, but I often recommend it in passing. It's always good to want to read. I am afraid that I don't read books, and when it comes to books and literature, I have the arrogance of not having a book in the world: what decent things can you people write! Then I would have been very polite to list him a list of book titles. There are not a few people who write seriously, and if you can read it seriously, you will definitely find a considerable number of good books in a year. Due to space constraints, here are two books that I have learned a lot from reading, a fiction and a collection of poems:
Mo Yan's "Late Ripening Man". The series of short stories in the novel collection present a certain commonality, that is, they all have a vast time and space span that can cover the character's life, the world is insightful, the virtual reality is born, the plot breaks and docking in different time and space are decisive and clean, and the blank space and tension are huge, forming a new unique stylistic feature of the short story. In the past, we always believed that Mo Yan had a distinct sense of style and a novel structure in the creation of long novels. Mo Yan confirmed in a clustered manner that this was the "change" of his writing in the heyday, and his understanding and formal exploration of short stories entered a new realm of freedom, and his efforts to expand the territory of the short story genre had great results, which was exemplary.
Sentinel's "On the Side of Nature" is a collection of poems about honghu lake and nature, and has great ambitions to use poetry as a museum. In this series of poems, the poet fully established a personal regional identity, and also made his own great efforts to the literarization of this region. He used poem after poem to connect the individual with nature, life, history, and culture, becoming his own "encyclopedia"; at the same time, what is even more valuable is that he presented an attempt to recount nature in the poetry collection and re-establish a personal injection for the "nature" writing of poetry.
