Mo Yan's Literary Odyssey

Mo Yan's Literary Odyssey

Global East-West (London)
2025
pokkari
Renowned writer from Shandong, Mo Yan, intricately weaves together tradition and innovation that has left a distinctive mark on the literary world. Through his works, Mo Yan traverses the intersections of history, culture, and modern society, demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to unveil the complexities of life in China while transforming the scope of literature both in form and content. In every corner of Mo Yan's legacy as a writer, there is a stark respect for tradition that comes through his deep engagement with culture, in this case, China's rich heritage.In 2012 Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which validated his impressive literary outputs, as well as, his skill to usurp language and cultural barriers with the charm of his narration. This appreciation, which has a global scope, gives credence not only to the place of Mo Yan's creative endeavours in China, but also as a figure in global literature, which does not lessen the influence of his narrative in the international arena.Additionally, Mo Yan's influence goes beyond the realm of fiction. He has contributed significantly to the discourse on multiple socio-political and historical matters by enriching the intellectual conversation. As Mo Yan's woven tapestry of literature expands into the complex areas of international acknowledgement, freedom of expression advocacy, and intellectual activism, it is clear that his impact on literature and societal consciousness is far more multi-dimensional than has been previously assumed. Proclaimed achievements do not form the entirety of Yan's legacy since his artistry transcends and embodies in deeper contexts his contributions to the world of literature.(From the Preface.)

This book analyzes Mo Yan’s writings as well as other scholarly interpretations of his writings. When Mo Yan from China was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the term «hallucinatory realism» was invented to describe his storytelling as a «merging» of folk tales, history, and the contemporary. The author stakes out a Marxist approach to theorizing the class ideology that underwrites what Mo Yan says he «knows» of the «nebulous terrain» where one supposedly experiences moments of «transcending» or going «beyond» class and politics in literary sensibility.

Big Breasts, Wide Hips

Methuen Publishing Ltd

An epic vision of China in the twentieth century by the author of Red Sorghum. On the eve of invasion by marauding Japanese troops, the Shangguan family eagerly prepare for two important arrivals: the birth of a foal to their donkey, and the birth of yet another girl to the young matriarch, in that order of priority. Surrounded by a remorseless mother and seven sisters, each named in anticipation of his birth, the resulting boy-child becomes our ineffectual narrator, leading us through a generation of life in a rural Chinese community populated by strong women and weak husbands, bandits and government bureaucrats, hen-murdering mid-wives and philandering missionaries, in this epic Chinese picaresque from the acclaimed author of Red Sorghum. Resplendent with the grotesque, bristling with grim humour, and visceral in its treatment of sex, violence and death, "Big Breasts & Wide Hips" is a searing vision of China in the twentieth century.
