   2007年2月27日，从网页获悉：克鲁雅玛〔Kiriyama〕亚太平洋图书奖评审团公布有五位作家入围小说类奖，角逐该奖项，奖金为15.000美元。
   
   马建是第二次入围该奖项。第一次是在2001年，入围的作品是《红尘》。《亮出你的舌头或空空荡荡》是马建20年前的一部中篇小说，发表于1987年2月《人民文学》杂志。当年正是“八七”学潮刚被瓦解，共产党便在各领域展开了反对资产阶级自由化运动，马建的小说刊出几日，即被宣传部下文在全国就地销毁。因此事件，刚开放的当代文学潮很快转入了低俗。
   
   《亮出你的舌头或空空荡荡》由五篇故事组成，分别以爱情、文明、同情、道德以及信仰为题，展开了藏人处在人与神之间的生活，以及一位流浪艺人进去以后被改变的过程。该小说二十年前就出版了法文、意文和德文版，近期英文的出版，很快获得了《华盛顿邮报》、《芝加哥报》等媒体好评，本月不但入围美国的克鲁雅玛〔Kiriyama〕图书奖，也同时入选英国独立外语文学奖。
   
   在入选的三十多位作家里，还有中文作家严歌苓。最终入围的五位作家中，最有希望的是日本作家村上春树〔Kirin Desai〕和去年获英国布克文学大奖的女作家基兰•德赛〔Kiran Desai〕。马建的《亮出你的舌头》也许会因篇幅短而败北。但最终结果在三月二十七日揭晓。
