Over the past twenty years, Chinese novelist Yan Lianke has emerged
as one of the most important writers in the world. In Discovering
Fiction, Yan offers insights into his views on literature and
realism, the major works that inspired him, and his theories of
writing. He juxtaposes discussions of the high realism of Leo
Tolstoy and Lu Xun against Franz Kafka's modernism and Gabriel
Garcia Marquez's magical realism, charting the relationship between
causality, truth, and modes of realism. He also discusses his
approach to realism, which he terms "mythorealism"-a way of
capturing the world's underlying truth by relying on the
allegories, myths, legends, and dreamscapes that emerge from daily
life. Revealing and instructive, Discovering Fiction gives readers
an unprecedented look into the mind and art of a literary giant.
