About the author

Liu Tongyi was a Chinese novelist, essayist, poet and literary critic who writes under the pseudonym Liu Yichang (劉以鬯). He did not grow up in Hong Kong but spent the first thirty years of his life either there or in the wartime capital Chungking, where he went upon graduating from the English-speaking St John's University in 1941. It was in Chungking that he took up the profession of newspaper editing which he practised more or less continuously until his retirement in 1991. Liu came to Hong Kong in 1948, and apart from a spell in Singapore and Malaya (1952-1957), has made it his home.

Reviews

[The.End.Notes 讀筆 · Rating 5 out of 5]

當我在二手書店找到這本書時，內心真的有些激動，終於找到了, 還要是初版。幾年前從朋友的介紹下借閱了這本書，讓我驚為天人，原來短篇小說可以寫得這麼令人讚嘆。

這本書以第一篇〈天堂與地獄〉開始，作者以蒼蠅的視角揭示人間的醜惡，接著在〈動亂〉中以以人法化為不同的物件回顧香港67暴動，還有〈打錯了〉、〈黑色裡的白色，白色裡的黑色〉、〈鏈〉等短篇，每一篇都精彩紛呈。最後還包括了被王家衛改編成電影《花樣年華》的〈對倒〉。

《多雲有雨》真的是一本充滿創意的作品，是我暫時讀過最具創新、最不合常規、最大開眼界、最能拓展思維的作品作。
