Series: ZUI NOVEL

Summary

ZUI NOVEL is a monthly youth-literature magazine published by Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, with author Guo Jingming as executive editor-in-chief. Launched in October 2006 under the slogan "New Youth Literature · Youth ZUI NOVEL," it is produced by the original team of Guo Jingming's "i5land Studio." Centered on youth-themed fiction, with entertainment news and trend coverage in support, it features columns, short stories, novellas, serialized novels, illustrated stories, reader–editor interaction, and light games and quizzes. Since its launch the magazine has served as a platform for "showcasing young creators": Guo Jingming's own novels Cry Me a Sad River and Tiny Times were serialized here, and authors such as Luo Luo, Di An, Qi Jinnian, Anthony, Xia Wujie, Nian Nian, hansey, and Miss Wild Elephant have published in its pages year after year. The magazine also established the "ZUI NOVEL Fund" and the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards for new writers to discover emerging talent in youth literature. In 2009 it was split into two parallel editions, ZUI NOVEL and ZUI Yingke; in 2010 it returned to a monthly schedule; in 2017 it was redesigned as a bimonthly themed book; and at the end of 2018 the magazine series ceased publication. In content form it is a typical "mook": each issue combines an ongoing serialized novel with standalone short stories and essays, mostly on campus life, adolescent growth, romance, and fantasy, so readers often search for it under categories such as "youth campus," "romance," and "fantasy." Note that ZUI NOVEL is a periodical and has no single ISBN covering all its contents; each issue and each volume has its own publication information and price.

Editor's review

如果把2000年代后半段的青春文学看作一个现场，那么《最小说》就是那个现场最热闹的一本刊物。它不只是一本杂志，而是郭敬明和“i5land工作室”搭起来的一个作者平台：郭敬明的《悲伤逆流成河》《小时代》在这里一期一期连载，落落、笛安、七堇年、安东尼、年年等人也在这里被大量读者认识。它的栏目设置很“杂志书”：开篇专栏由主编亲自写，中间是短篇和中篇，后面接长篇连载、绘本与读编互动，阅读节奏轻快，可以随时翻开、随时放下。对今天的读者来说，它更像一份青春阅读的时代标本：版式、插画、纸张、定价都带着那个年代的审美，也记录了当时校园读者关心的话题。需要提醒的是，这是期刊而非单本长篇，购买或阅读时请留意具体期号与辑别；不同期的作者阵容、连载进度差别很大，先确认期数再入手，体验会好很多。

Who it's for

A good fit for

经历过2000年代青春文学热潮、想重温旧日阅读体验的读者
喜欢短篇与连载混合阅读节奏、不追求一次读完的读者
对郭敬明、落落、笛安等作者早期作品有兴趣的研究型读者
正在收集青春文学期刊、想补齐某一期或某一辑的收藏者

Not a good fit for

希望读到结构完整、一次性完结的长篇小说的读者
偏好严肃纯文学、对青春校园题材兴趣不大的读者
期待单本图书有统一 ISBN 与完整目录的购书者

Reading tips

先确认具体期号或辑别，再按其中的连载篇目决定阅读顺序，避免从半途读起。
把专栏与短篇当作独立作品读，长篇连载部分可单独追踪作者单行本。
若为研究用途，可按时序阅读，对照2006—2018年间青春文学的题材与审美变化。
阅读时留意插画、版式与栏目设计，它们本身就是这本刊物的一部分。

FAQ

《最小说》是一本书还是一本杂志？

它是一本青春文学期刊（杂志书），2006年10月由长江文艺出版社创刊、郭敬明任执行主编，月刊发行，2018年底系列杂志停刊，并非单一的长篇小说单行本。

为什么查不到《最小说》的统一 ISBN？

因为它是连续出版物，不同期号、不同辑别分别登记出版信息，各有自己的 ISBN 与定价，并不存在一个覆盖全部内容的统一 ISBN。

《最小说》里连载过哪些知名作品？

郭敬明的《悲伤逆流成河》《小时代》都曾在此连载；此外笛安的《南音》、自由鸟的《小祖宗2.0》等长篇也出现在不同期号中，具体篇目需按期号核对。

按“青春校园”分类找内容，该怎么读这本刊物？

建议先按栏目定位：专栏与短篇多为校园生活与少年成长题材，长篇连载则可能包含幻想、家族故事等元素；可以只读短篇与专栏部分，也能快速获得校园题材的阅读体验。
