Q: Comparing Novel China with your three previous collections of literary criticism, your past books mostly concentrate on an individual work of a single author, but this time your new book talks about the literary developments of a period, such at works about the life of students studying overseas, or anti-communist literature. Could we start by talking about your orientation as a critic?
問：拿＜小說中國＞和您過去三本評論集作一比較，之前您的評論多針對單一作家的單篇作品，這次您的新書談的是一個年代的文學流變，譬如留學生文學、反共文學，可不可以先談談您的評論走向？
