书与钥匙的季节

図書委員 #1

by Honobu Yonezawa, 米泽穗信, HANA (Translator)

"我怀疑别人是因为相信人性本恶,我觉得笑着接近我的人全都是骗子,所以会想尽办法去看穿别人的真正用意。但你不是这样,说你相信人性本善好像也不太对,总之你就算听出对方在说谎,还是会相信这些谎言的背后有些重要的东西。""你是说我太单纯吗？""不是啦……我是说你人很好。" 两个每日沉溺在图书馆的男孩,一个敏锐踏实且为人温厚,一个善察人心但冷淡疏离。放学后,他们总是遇到有人带着谜题找来。作为图书委员的推理二人组,在平淡而精致的生活中,探寻着若隐若现的谜题与时而沉重的真相。

About the author

Honobu Yonezawa (米澤穂信), Yonezawa Honobu, born 1978) loved making up stories even as a child and began writing fiction at the age of 14. By the time he got to university he was posting stories on his own website. After graduation he continued writing while working in a bookstore, and first got into print in 2001 when Hyoka (Ice Cream), a YA mystery novel he submitted for the Kadokawa School Novel Prize competition, earned an honorable mention. Sayonara yosei (Farewell, Sprite), a critically acclaimed story of the relationship between Japanese high-school boys and a girl from war-torn Yugoslavia, helped cement his reputation when it was published in 2004. Since then he has been a regular presence on lists of the year's best mysteries. Oreta ryukotsu (Broken Keel) won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award for Novels in 2011. Though known especially for his distinctive and fresh blending of the tale of youth with the whodunit, Yonezawa has also made forays into science fiction, as with 2006’s Botorunekku (Bottleneck) and 2007’s Inshitemiru (Try Indulging), a sinister "murder game" story. In 2013 he published the novel Rikashiburu (Recursible). He is a leading figure among Japan's younger generation of mystery writers.

Yonezawa’s “Hyouka” was the first novel I read in Japanese, and I’m pleased to find that I continue to be charmed by his work so many years later. His style of characterization is very much to my tastes, and the logical deductions in the mystery elements all feel well tuned to be fair, but not immediately obvious.

The friendship between the two main characters is built up slowly over each of the short stories, and it is particularly fun to see how two highly logical “detectives” types interact as they interpret situations through slightly different (but both competent) lenses. There’s a bit of literary chiaroscuro here with a yin-yang theming to their most fundamental approaches to taking in information, and I think it made for a particularly compelling final chapter—if not in terms of the beat-to-beat mystery itself, then the character arcs it completed.

米澤穗信的作品先前也只看過「遞迴」、「滿願」和「黑牢城」。「黑牢城」則是令我印象非常深刻，雖然對日本歷史不了解，但在翻看的過程邊查找戰國時代歷史、邊解謎，別有一番樂趣，這本實屬上乘之作！因此前陣子看到「書籤與謊言的季節」出版後，才趕緊將圖書委員系列的第一集「書與鑰匙的季節」借來看。

這本書的第一頁是這樣寫的：「堀川和松倉這兩位高中生，有時看看書、有時解解謎，就這樣漸漸了解彼此，也了解到彼此都有看不到的地方，就是這樣的推理故事。」這本書總共有六個單元，每個單元都是一個獨立事件（除了最後兩個單元以外）。而故事主角是個性相異的堀川和松倉，剛好都是學校中的圖書委員。堀川面對朋友的請託，總是不好意思拒絕，但在解謎的過程中，會放入更多的人性關懷；至於松倉則是較世故，會以人性本惡的眼光去理解每件事的發生。有些網友會覺得第一集的破案動機或是結果，都有點牽強，甚至有先射箭再畫靶的感覺，整體比不上作者另一個古籍研究社系列；但我總覺得每個單元故事如果各自拆開來發展，應該也能延伸成大長篇，這點倒是蠻見仁見智的。

但整體而言，這種單元故事可以看得很快、而且不會腦袋大打結，偶爾看看調劑一下心情很不錯；至於書中第二頁的伏筆：「當你看到推理小說中有個名字被圈起來......」嘿嘿，看完就會知道了！

沒想到在遲來的羽翼之後又來一個懸念......感覺米澤寫校園推理特別的順手, 如果說冰菓是青春的玫瑰色, 書與鑰匙的季節就是高中生們暗藏心底的灰暗吧. 以兩位圖書委員堀川次郎和松倉詩門為主角, 一邊解謎一邊剝開謊言與人心的糾葛, 略有超齡但不失青澀感. 看到靜謐的圖書室也能發揮如此暗潮洶湧(?) 真是挺有意思的. 學生時期常常泡圖書館, 抱本書躲在無人的角落, 算是在學校裡最放鬆的所在, 但隨著離開學校後就沒去過了...直到去年還前年去了北投圖書館, 有如溫泉會館般的美麗木質建築. 本來以為可以重溫兒時記憶借個書, 但看到書時根本不敢去拿, 因為都又舊又黑黑的......嗯只能說回憶是美好的這樣.

先看第二集才回頭看這本，赫然發現許多我根本不知道的設定，原來松倉設定是帥哥喔？？？

跟第二集不同，是連續短篇，到現在還是不懂第二集跟其他圖書委員鬧不和是發生什麼事情，我本來還以為單純是第一集發生了什麼，但根本就沒有。每篇都是兩人遇到一個事件，然後一起解開，但怎麼說，不是我期待的那種日常推理的案件，但也沒有無聊到讓我覺得「我到底看了什麼？？」，但要說很喜歡好像也有點微妙。雖然讀完這本還是深深覺得米澤筆下的學生都好沒有真實感，但至少松倉跟堀川算是沒有真實感的怪人中，好像還有一根手指是黏在現實世界的（？）

整體來說還是比較喜歡第二集。不過兩人第一集好像稍微走近一點，第二集又拉開距離是怎麼回事？

The characters are developed slowly over the course of the short stories. I really ended up liking all of these and I really appreciated how the author didn’t go for a nice happy ending in all the cases but instead leaves the reader with some frustration over the ending.

話の始まりからその後の展開の予想がつかず、気になってどんどん読み進められた。主人公2人のやりとりが好き。
続編出たら絶対読む！

[Wantong Liu · Rating 4 out of 5]

看前面一直觉得最多只有三星，但是最后一篇让我觉得可以是四星
看完有点难过呢

非常に読みやすい、短編集。書き下ろしの最後の短編がやや物足りない。

[Jungeun · Rating 4 out of 5]

가벼운 추리물이 읽고 싶을 때 좋은 책. 도서부 남학생 두 명의 진득한듯 캐주얼한 우정이 관전 포인트다. 두 학생의 성격 차이에서 나오는 추리의 흐름의 차이 또한 재미있는 부분이다.

第四顆星給堀川，最末在圖書室等著松倉的那個天真高中生。
