王晓峰的《当下小小说》是史论结合的专著,作者细致地梳理了小小说发展的历史和文体特征,又潜心研究了小小说理论的各个侧面,提出了一系列富有创意的观点。因此,该书应被视为中国当代小小说发展进一步走向成熟与自觉的标志之一,也可以将其视为了解小小说历史与现状的一部工具书看待。 Wang Xiaofeng’s “Little Tale of the Present” is a monograph combining history with theory. The author carefully sorts out the history and stylistic features of the development of the novel and painstakingly studies the various aspects of the theory of the novel, putting forward a series of creative ideas. Therefore, the book should be regarded as one of the hallmarks of the development of Chinese contemporary novels toward maturity and self-consciousness. It can also be regarded as a reference book to understand the history and current status of the novels.
