摘要

國內出版大陸短篇少年小說選集，以周曉、沈碧娟主編、《民生報》出版的《中國大陸小說選》為最。比較其他經眼的十種選集，可以發現周、沈選本揮別了革命與傷痕文學的陰影，收集二十多年來大陸名家名作，提供國人良好的閱讀文本。由於選編的過程中，嚴守作品發表的時間排列，無形中也建構了大陸短篇少年小說的發展史，讓我們觀察「反思－問題－新人－探索」等寫作風氣的流變過程，了解題材，主題及寫作技巧的轉變，由「外宇宙」的處理，到「內宇宙」的省思，也注意到「淡化故事性到作品哲理化、意緒化」的演進，相信這本選集所展現的大陸短篇少年小說的發展過程，可以提供國內教學或創作者一個良好的借鑑。

Of all the collections of young adult novels by Mainland Chinese authors published in Taiwan, ＜A Collection of Mainland Chinese Novels＞ published by Min-Shen News stands out. In comparison to other ten similar collections that I have also reviewed, the collection complied and edited by Zhao xiao and Shen Bijuan has walked out of the shadow of the literature that dealt with the trauma brought on by the Cultural Revolution. It has collected the best works by well- known Mainland Chinese writers in the recent two decades to provide the readers with excellent reading text. The works in the collection was chronically arranged so they reflect the historical development of the young adult novels in China and bring the changes of the styles to perspective. We can easily observe that the change of styles proceeded from reflecting, to questioning, then to renewal, and finally to exploration. We can also see the transformation in the topics, themes, and writing techniques. They started with a exploration in the ＂outer universe＂ and then moved into reflecting ＂within the universe.＂ The collection also reflects the evolvement of down- playing the stories elements to loading the works with philosophical and ideological inquiries. I believe that the development of young adult novels demonstrated in the collection can provide educators and writers in Taiwan with very good references.
