本丛书之所以收录这六位作家的作品，别无他意，只是因为这些作品都选自《上海文学》杂志。《上海文学》自"文革"后复刊，始终积极参与当代文学的建设，把一大批作家团结在刊物周围，把作家的优秀作品推荐给读者，并且在读者的期盼中提升作家。这六位作家在本刊上发表作品比较多，而且时间跨度也长达一二十年，最早的作品可能是在80年代初，最近的作品则是今年的新成果。现在作家受到市场的影响，多以鸿篇巨制炫世，而本刊所发表的中短篇小说，正是他们当年的代表作、成名作。我们收录这一部分的作品编辑推出，读者可以从中看到作家的创作步伐，也可以窥见杂志一以贯之的诚意与宗旨。(The reason why this series of books contains the works of these six writers is nothing but because these works are all selected from the Shanghai Literature magazine.Since it resumes publication after the "Cultural Revolution", Shanghai Literature has been always active in the construction of contemporary literature, making a legion of writers rally around the publication, recommending excellent works of writers to readers, and in turn improving the level of writers in the expectation of readers.These six writers have published more works in this publication, and the time span reaches up to a decade or two. In these works, the earliest one might be published in the early 1980s, and the latest one is the new achievement this year.Influenced by the market, writers currently show the world with voluminous works for most of the time. However, the novellas and short fictions published in this magazine are their representative and signature works in those days.The works we include in this part are launched after editing, where readers can see the writers' pace of creation as well as the consistent sincerity and purpose of the magazine.)
