I was a bit surprised that the New York Times article, reciting the Nobel
committee's history of giving the prize to dissidents, did not mention a
track record of defusing government hostility by giving a reparations
prize to a government loyalist. Case in point: Mikhail Sholokhov's 1965
Nobel, perhaps to atone for Boris Pasternak's 1958 award. Of course Mo Yan
is not a party triumphalist as Sholokhov was. But I do detect some of the
same motivation.

Hello, 

Apologies for the shameless plug, but I happen to have written about Mo
Yan's satirical and humorous narratives within the context of the mobility
of world literature in my new book, just out --

Yesterday I posted on my university website my response to the
announcement. I did so in order to raise awareness in the local community
about China and Chinese history.  In particular, I focused my response
around what I felt was lacking in the media approach to the issue.
