In 1943 a young official from the German foreign ministry contacted Allen Dulles, an OSS officer in Switzerland who would later head the Central Intelligence Agency. That man was Fritz Kolbe, who had decided to betray his country after years of opposing Nazism. While Dulles was skeptical, Kolbe's information was such that he eventually admitted, "No single diplomat abroad, of whatever rank, could have got his hands on so much information as did this man; he was one of my most valuable agents during World War II." Using recently declassified materials at the U.S. National Archives and Kolbe's personal papers, Lucas Delattre has produced a work of remarkable scholarship that moves with the swift pace of a Le Carra thriller.

莫言军队服役21年，这是他从成长到成熟，文学创作从起步到走向高潮的最重要的时期。过去的莫言研究，实际上是他的创作研究，关于他小说世界之外的人生故事基本没有涉及。对一个经典作家来说，不把他的人生故事与其文学创作相互参照，加以对读，这种研究其实很难真正展开也无法深入下去。或者说过去的莫言研究就其思想和文学创作而言，除创作技巧和方法外，基本属于宏观史观范围，并没有重视到微观史观的问题，而我所说的微观史观，就经典作家研究而言，就是他的家世研究。直白地说，就是弄清楚他是怎么一个人的问题。

远古时期，原始先民用简陋的工具改造着世界，他们在社会实践中，创造出上古神话。神话内容涉及到自然环境和社会生活的各个方面，以故事的形式表现了他们对自然、社会现象的认识和愿望。这些上古神话成为后世小说叙事的源头，它们具备了人物和情节两个小说的基本元素。上古神话之后，先秦时期的寓言故事、史传文学以及各类传说等也成为后世小说叙事的源头，并且有了进一步的发展，那个时候的成熟寓言故事已经有了比较完整的结构、人物形象和历史背景，这些都为后世小说的成熟奠定了有利的基础。
