商品簡介
This text features a literary analysis of the works of one of China's most famous novelists, Mo Yan. Over the course of four chapters, Chan (Chinese language and cultural studies, Wittenberg University) discusses the evolution of Yan's writing style, the cultural context in which Yan has produced his work, and the significance of Yan's work not only to Chinese society, but to the literary world as a whole. As one of the most prolific novelists working in one of the fastest growing and most populous nations on Earth, Yan's work contains imagery and substance that is becoming ever more familiar, and significant, to Western audiences. This text is the first book-length English language analysis of Yan's work and will be an interesting resource for those who have read his novels or those interested in modern Chinese literature.
