莫言的《丰乳肥臀》去年刊载于《大家》杂志,并获得1995年“大家·红河文学奖”,今年又由作家出版社出版了单行本。这部小说发表以后,即引起了激烈的争论,赞扬者有之,批评者更有之,气愤者也有之。中国当代文学研究会云南分会还两次召开研讨会,评论此书。现将争论的主要观点综述如下。 Mo Yan’s “Breastfeeding Buttocks” was published last year in Everybody magazine and won the “Honghe Literary Award” in 1995. This year it was published by the Writers Publishing House. After the publication of the novel, there was a heated debate, among those praising it, among critics, and among angry people. The Yunnan Branch of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Research Society also held two seminars to comment on this book. The main points of argument are summarized below.
