天堂蒜苔之歌 (1988)

《天堂蒜苔之歌》是中国作家莫言的一部长篇小说，1988年初版。

小说取材于真实的“蒜苔事件”：响应政府号召的农民批量种植蒜苔导致滞销，政府不作为，结果酿成群体事件。莫言看到新闻后用35天写出了这部作品。全书共21章，刻画了高羊、高马、金菊、方四叔、方四婶等人物，除蒜苔事件外，还描写了高马、金菊二人的恋情。书中充满乡间景物描写，融入了民歌的形式，语言节奏感强。

该书1995年译成英文，瑞典学者彼得·英格伦将其列为阅读莫言的入门书。它还被海外媒体比作中国版的《第二十二条军规》和《愤怒的葡萄》。

The Garlic Ballads (Chinese: 天堂蒜薹之歌) is a 1988 novel by Nobel Prize–winning author Mo Yan. The book is about the 1987 garlic glut.

The novel was in fall 1987. It was published by the People's Liberation Army Publishing House. Unhappy with some of the editorial cuts, Mo Yan restored these in a 1988 Taiwan edition of the novel.

It was withdrawn from sale in China in 1989. In 1993, the ban on its sale in China was reversed. The 1993 edition removed an ironic prefatory Joseph Stalin quote, and adds a new final chapter. It also includes a preface stating, "The ultimate goal in writing this kind of novel is to hope that the phenomena it describes does not become a model for real life."
