中国是农业大国，饥馑也是一个永恒的主题和回忆。文学艺术作品中关于饥饿主题的叙事与挖掘已经是登峰造极，与饥馑同步展开的是对各种形式赈灾的批判，鲜见对赈灾的赞美和欣赏。司南的长篇小说《民国银号》对民国十八年关中地区的饥馑摒弃了常规化叙事，而是从民间银号经营者的经营行为入手，揭秘式地叙述了一种前无古人后无来者的赈济方式，充分展示了主人公的无限智慧和大爱胸怀，使小说主人公形象丰满深刻，为小说的艺术性增添了极其厚重的分量。此外，小说在对历史隐秘的揭示中深度诠释了人性的善恶美丑，这是小说的又一大亮点。%Since China is an agricultural country, famine is a eternal theme and memory.
