江苏文学之所以呈现出可持续发展的局面,就在于它有着分布极广的作者队伍。相对于少数专业作家来说,更为众多的是那些分布在各行各业的业余作家。这种专业和业余的分别,与其他行业并不一样,只不过是一种专职与兼职的区别,而不是水平的高下。事实上,许多业余作家的创作水平根本不让专业作家,就以长篇小说《活着不易》的作者张荣超为例,他的从业履历很复杂,但几乎都与文学关系不大。他 The reason why Jiangsu literature presents a sustainable development lies in that it has a very large distribution of authors. Much more than a handful of professional writers are amateur writers who are distributed in all walks of life. This difference between professional and amateurs is not the same as that of other industries. It is only a difference between full-time and part-time work, not a level one. In fact, many amateur writers, whose literary level does not allow professional writers at all, take the example of Zhang Rongchao, the author of the novel The Hard Life, whose work experience is complicated but almost all have little to do with literature. he
