This book is a collection of literary essays by the famous critic Xie Youshun. He carefully selected literary research papers published in recent years to focus on displaying personal scientific research results and close observations and in-depth thinking on contemporary Chinese literature and contemporary Chinese culture. There are both macro-level discussions, which mainly reflect the grasp of trends and trends, and case analysis, including in-depth analysis of key works and author theory. Xie Youshun's literary criticism is clear and clear, with personal insights and theoretical support. At the same time, it always has strict logic of discussion. He never loses his book bag and rarely gets entangled in theory. He can always find the phenomena and roots of literary development and the evolution of writers' creations from the perspective of culture and the rhythm of social development, thereby giving writers a proper position and giving a measured evaluation of their works.

The intervention of consumer culture has greatly changed the inherent communication method of literature and the way it affects readers, which will inevitably bring about some new problems. The world is becoming more and more impetuous, and the myth of profit is becoming more and more exciting. These will definitely affect the writing of some writers. It is impossible not to have an impact. If you compare the writing of famous writers before and after they become famous, you will find that even some quite accomplished writers have begun to lose their composure in this noisy environment. Looking at their new works, you will know that they have not accumulated much in these years. The strength of the book is also weakening. It is obvious that the writing heart is beginning to panic, and it has unknowingly merged with the current consumer culture. Readers will write about whatever subject they like to be stimulated, without asking whether such subject matter is what they are good at or what they are concerned about.

The famous critic Xie Youshun has written a thematic collection of essays on contemporary Chinese novels. Starting from different writers and works such as Jin Yong, Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, Sun Haohui, and Zhang Yueran, he discussed a series of related topics in contemporary Chinese novels and humanities, such as the common way of novels, inner people, the narrative prospects of contemporary novels, the narrative prospects of local resources, etc. What he talked about was not only the art of novel creation and appreciation, but also the common dilemmas and solutions faced by intellectuals today. The thoughts in the novel are things that worry about the novel, and also things that hope that the novel can help the world.
