Abstract

The narrative time and space in Mo Yan’s novels can be described as intertwined and jumping, with twists and turns, interpromoting relation between fiction and reality, and unpredictability. This article focuses on Mo Yan’s novellas and short stories since his attempt of narrative revolution in 1985, appreciates the quirky and changeable narrative landscape of time-space perversion, time-space loopback, and the interpromoting relation between fiction and reality, and also explores the triple narrative strategy behind them, namely, presenting the cause and effect of reclusion with disorderly time and space, mapping the complex psychology of characters with disordered time and space, and expanding the spatial-temporal pattern to enhance the aesthetic effect.
