A comparative study of The Republic of Wine and The Castle shows that Mo Yan and Kafka share similarities in narrative strategies.Mo Yan is obviously influenced by Kafkaesque style,and both of them adopt such narrative strategies as absurd realism,the delay of the plot and the disintegration of language.However,Mo Yan does not blindly imitate and accept Kafkaesque narrative strate-gies.According to his own life experiences and aesthetic habits,he tells stories about Chinese history,society and politics to reveal mod-ern people's sense of absurdity,alienation,loneliness,as well as their lost of soul and rationality,reflecting his high sense of responsi-bility and mission.
