Centered on such several novels as Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out and Frog, this paper explores the author＇s thinking of the interruption and repetition phenomena in China＇s 20th century history. Differing from viewing the history in a modem linear progressive perspective, Mo Yan regards the interruption of history as a sign of human degradation, which derives from the loss of folk history subjectivity. When history is treated rudely, its repetition will occur, and the one who treats history as laughingstocks will be written into history as part of a ＂farce＂.展开更多

The reception of R ed Sorghum in other countries lies in the appreciation of its artistic features,analysis of its folk lore,discussion of its masculinity and femininity and its influence upon foreign literature.展开更多

Chan calls Mo＇s ＂postmodern playfulness.＂ In his afterword to Pow! Mo says that the story ＂gives way to an improvisation that swings between reality and illusion,＂ thus suggesting the notion of ＂hallucinatory realism＂ as a ＂blending＂ or ＂merging＂ of the illusory and the real. This article examines the ideology--that is, the class politics of consciousness--of this swingy postmodern storytelling, taking a critical view of Mo＇s playfully bold assertion： ＂I＇ve always taken pride in my lack of ideology, especially when I＇m writing.＂ I argue that the swinginess of ＂imagination＂ in Pow! embodies what Marx calls a ＂happy confusion＂ that （re）articulates the ＂post＂-class doctrine of ＂combine two into one.＂展开更多
