In this book, Mo Yan changed his usual way of telling stories, which not only continued his previous creative style, but also injected new elements-Wang Yang was more calm and straightforward in his arrogance, and more figurative and realistic in his fantasy legend, from the shades of oil painting to the simplicity of lines. Mo Yan writes himself as a character in his novels and looks at this complicated and confusing world from a special perspective.
Mo Yan has been writing or preparing to write since he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for eight years. 20 17 Mo Yan published the essay "Glasses of the Horse", in which he revealed the origin and inheritance of his literary territory, and then published many novels, poems and plays in literary journals such as Harvest, People's Literature, October and Flower City.
Late Maturity Man contains twelve short stories written by Mo Yan eight years before and after he won the prize, all of which are "new stories" told by Mo Yan. They are still based on "hometown personnel", but they have a brand-new look-focusing on the present and integrating observation and thinking on new issues of the times.
The Narrative Characteristics of Late Mature Man;
Late-maturing men have both inheritance and innovation, but on the whole they are not divorced from Mo Yan's unique creative mechanism. The first is the continuation of magical realism combining Chinese and western. On the basis of following the meta-narrative mode of avant-garde literature, the diachronic text is deconstructed from multiple perspectives, and an alternative authenticity restoration is also completed.
The most important thing is that there are both traces of Western Impressionism and elements of China's sketch, that is, to realize * * * communication in the combination of Chinese and Western magical realism. The second is to stick to the motif of human nature thinking. Mo Yan has always stressed that he is a storyteller. There is no doubt that late-maturing men have inherited this excellent tradition and are always accompanied by human thinking in story writing and characterization.
In every novel, almost all the characters have absurd words of "logical self-consistency", but the attitude of "Mo Yan" in the novel is also very vague in the communication with them, which is also Mo Yan's thinking and response to the uncertainty of modern society in reality.
In Late Mature Men, all the stories are open, and the deep problems behind the stories are far deeper than the stories themselves. Mo Yan keenly examines this era, arousing readers' feelings through the presentation of good and evil, truth and falsehood, beauty and ugliness, which is also the greatest charm of his works.
