2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言最具代表性的中短篇小說集：《透明的紅蘿蔔》《藏寶圖》《紅耳朵》《球狀閃電》「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".／《透明的紅蘿蔔》莫言：我重讀〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉這篇小說，雖然能從中看出許多笨句和敗筆，但我也知道，我再也寫不出這樣的小說了。收入這套中篇小說集中的作品，基本上是以我的高密東北鄉為背景寫的，但風格還是有變化，有的質樸，有的荒誕，有的幽默，有的妖魅……讀小說有點像嚼檳榔，或者說，我的小說有點像檳榔，喜歡者會被它的古怪味道吸引並嚼之上癮，不喜歡者則入口即吐。因之猜想，我這套書的讀者，都是我的老讀者，他們或她們都是我的朋友。我就是為朋友在寫作啊。朋友們從這些中篇裡，大約可以讀出一個年輕時的莫言和比較年輕時的莫言，這應該是故事之外的收穫。──莫言本書收錄莫言九篇重要中篇小說：透明的紅蘿蔔、爆炸、金髮嬰兒、歡樂、你的行為使我們恐懼、懷抱鮮花的女人、夢境與雜種、幽默與趣味、流水。其中，莫言成名代表作〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉，講述的是一個關於「飢餓」的故事：一個在運河工地幹活的十二歲「黑孩」，因飢餓難耐，到旁邊的菜地裡拔了一根紅蘿蔔充饑，被抓到後，上百人圍著他召開批鬥大會，人們高呼口號，必欲滅之而後快。「黑孩」後來逃走了。在不斷的貧困飢餓交雜中，他看到了一幅奇特美麗的景像：泛著藍藍幽光的鐵砧子上，有一個金色的紅蘿蔔。紅蘿蔔的形狀和大小像一個大梨，拖著一條長尾巴，尾巴上的根根鬚鬚像金色的羊毛。紅蘿蔔晶瑩透明，玲瓏剔透……，小說將黑孩的面對「飢餓」與困頓生活的無盡想像與悲涼，淋漓呈現，令人動容。莫言的小說，一向以「夢幻寫實」的豐富想像力著稱，他擅長說一個好聽的故事，像一位調皮的孩子，大膽、奔放，言人不敢言，寫人不敢寫的題材，同時在充滿幽默的故事中，寫出對家鄉高密的關注、對人性的深刻思索。這本中篇小說集，可以看到莫言成熟的寫作風格，以及他創作歷程階段性的轉變。 是研究莫言作品的讀者必備的書單，同時對喜愛莫言的讀者，絕對是另一個精彩的閱讀享受。／《
