ABSTRACT

As an important literary province across China, Jiangsu novels in recent years have made rapid development. Not only the number of works is very large, and high-quality works are also increasing. 2013 is the harvest year of Jiangsu novels. In this year, Jiangsu writers published nearly one hundred novels. Overall, whether they choose to take on the theme of the story, or digging in bold ideological theme, whether in the form of innovative structure, or a breakthrough in terms of characterization, have a distinctive performance. Throughout Jiangsu novel creation in 2013, we find them in the selection layout, almost formed from anc ient times to the present one, from the historical continuity of the subject matter to the realsystem, clearly showing broad and lofty conception of Jiangsu writers’ horizon. We are excited that Jiangsu novels’ narrative passion for contemporary life and the spirit of exploration is quite prominent. While some works focus on the rediscovery of history, more works comprehensive in-depth contemporary life, or in the intertwined aesthetic space and time between the history and reality, to write the changing times and complex landscape of contemporary culture. From the novel types of view, marriage fiction, urban fiction, local novels, officialdom novels, youth writing, children’s literature, and even popular literature, fiction network, etc., are very well developed, clearly showing a high degree of enthusiasm and a strong aesthetic ideas of Jiangsu Writers’ creativity. Jiangsu novel also exhibit a unique aesthetic qualities. They are good at using the profound implication of imagery or imagery group to form the story of the process, but also more inclined to condense some life experience to expand the complex relationship between the characters. Thus, many of the works are difficult to be analyzed from the ordinary type of framework. Many works have already overrun certain stylistic boundaries and type of mode, and different from the general realism, or romanticism, or other writing methods, but showed a spirit of individualism, in order to achieve a strong combination of aesthetics and exploration of human nature.
