杨晓敏编著的《小小说30年(精华本中国当代最具影响力的120篇小小说)》筛选名家精粹，博采众长，以一个个小镜头折射出生活的本质及人物的精神世界，情节一波三折，起伏跌宕，发人深省。一个画面，一声赞叹，一番对话，人物内心的一颤动，凝聚创作契机，藏而不露，委婉含蓄，可谓"借一斑而窥全豹，以一目传尽精神"。 (Best Mininovels of Thirty Years: 120 Most Influential Mininovels in contemporary China, written by Yang Xiaomin, selects essences of famous writers, and learns widely from others' strong points, and reflects the nature of life and the spiritual worlds of the characters with small scenes. The plot twists, turns up and down, and is thought-provoking. A scene, a praise, a conversation, a vibration of character's inner world collect changes of creation, which are hidden inside and euphemistic, and even can be called as "The whole leopard can be observed through only one spot, all the spirits can be spread through one sight".)
