Introduction
No writer in recent memory has contributed more to the imagination of historical space inChina or a reevaluation of Chinese society, past and present, than Mo Yan, whose RedSorghum changed the literary landscape when it was published in 1987, 1 and was the firstChinese film to reap critical and box-office rewards in the West. 2 In the process of probingChina’s myths, official and popular, and some of the darker corners of Chinese society, MoYan has become the most controversial writer in China; loved by readers in many countries,he is the bane of China’s official establishment, which has stopped the sale of more than oneof his novels, only to relent when they are acclaimed2 outside the countryBorn in 1955 into a peasant family in northern China, where a hardscrabble existence wasthe norm, Mo Yan received little formal schooling3 before being sent out into the fields to tendlivestock and then into factories during the disastrous4 decade of the Cultural Revolution(1966-1976). His hometown, in quasi-fictional5 Northeast Gaomi County, is the setting forvirtually all his novels; the stories he heard as a child from his grandfather and other relativesstoked his fertile imagination, and have found an outlet6 in a series of big, lusty, and alwayscontroversial novels, the earliest of which, in a delicious quirk7 of irony8, were written whileMo Yan was serving as an officer in the People’s Liberation Army.
Mo Yan styles himself as a writer of realist, often historical fiction, which is certainly true,as far as it goes. Like the Latin American creators of magic realism (whose works Mo Yanhas read and enjoyed, but, he insists, have exerted no influence on his own writing), hestretches the boundaries of “realism” and “historicism” in new, and frequently maligned,directions. Official histories and recorded “facts” are of little interest to this writer, whoroutinely blends folk beliefs, bizarre animal imagery, and a variety of imaginative narrativetechniques with historical realities — national and local, official and popular — to createunique and uniquely satisfying literature, writing of such universally engaging themes andvisceral imagery that it easily crosses national borders.
