(2) 奥泉光と丸谷才一
丸谷才一の奥泉光作品の評価がある。「前半は、期待するに足る新人だと思つた。現代日本人を俎上にのせようとして努力してゐる。」「しかし後半はいけない。話がでたらめになつてゐる。こんな手抜きをするやうでは、登場人物たちのいい加減さをからかふ資格はないのである。」(芥川賞一〇六回「暴力の舟」『すばる』平成三年/1991年11月号)丸谷才一六六歳評■)
「風俗と社会を結びつけようとしてゐるのがいい。」「たとえば『ヨブ記』の結末についての会話など、微笑を誘ふに足りた。しかし観念のほうとなると、ずいぶん曖昧で取りとめがない。それに、彼らがなぜ信仰を必要としてゐるのかを書き落してゐるため、小説の骨組が弱くなつてゐる。」(芥川賞一〇八回)「三つ目の鯰(なまず)」(『文學界』平成四年/1992年12月号)丸谷才一評六十七歳■)
芥川賞一一〇回受賞作「この前の『三つ目の鯰』のほうがよかつた。登場人物が生き生きしてゐたし、ゆつたりした感じで呼吸してゐて、親愛感をいだくことができた。」「受賞はまことにめでたいことだが、これを機会にあの『三つ目の鯰』の調子に戻つてもらひたいと思ふ。」(「石の来歴」(『文學界』平成五年/1993年12月号丸谷才一評六十八歳■)<■は中立的な反対、賛成・態度不明から最終的に反対、長所も認めるが結果的に反対?〉

(2) Hikaru Okuizumi and Saiichi Maruya
Saiichi Maruya evaluated the works of Hikaru Okuizumi. ``In the first half, I thought he was a newcomer worthy of our expectations. He was making an effort to put modern Japanese on the table.'' ``But in the second half, the story was becoming haphazard. I do not qualify to make fun of the sloppiness of the characters.'' (Akutagawa Prize 106th ``A Violent Boat'' ``Subaru'' 1991/November 1991 issue) Saiichi Maruya, 66-year-old review ■)
``I like how it tries to connect customs and society.'' ``For example, the conversation about the ending of the Book of Job was enough to make me smile. However, when it comes to ideas, it's quite vague and rambling. , the framework of the novel is weakened because he fails to explain why they need faith.'' (108th Akutagawa Prize) ``The Three-Eyed Catfish'' (Bungakukai, 1992) (December 1992 issue) Saiichi Maruya, 67 years old ■)
Winner of the 110th Akutagawa Prize: ``The previous work, ``The Three-Eyed Catfish,'' was better. "Winning the award is truly a congratulations, but I would like to take this opportunity to return to the same style as the Three-Eyed Catfish."
