Abstract
The word “mo yan” in Chinese means “don’t speak”. But to the rest of the world, this phrase represents altogether a different avatar in the literary world. Mo Yan is the pen name of the 2012Nobel Prize winner who was born with the name Guan Moye.This very honor anticipated the contemporary scholars to criticize the works of Mo Yan. But Mo Yan was not someone whose name the world heard for the first time. He was the center of the criticism even before receiving the award ashe was notoriously well known for his brilliant narrative style. In his works, he has discussed the socio-political, cultural and economic issues. This has developed curiosity among the critics and scholars to study his works.
