文選其實有點政治目的
更考驗譯者功力
本書兩位譯者,其實不大有風格不同的問題

雖然大約了解這本書出版的目的,更想因此去找原典

迷幻體驗雖然不致讓人斷片,放大感官的經歷在文字中更顯出作者的詮釋功力
波特萊爾、赫胥黎、威廉.布洛斯、馬可波羅的『意識』文字被拼貼在本書裡,有系統的介紹

期待早日能實現聽著 pink floyd 伴讀 Timothy Leary 的文字

漏看了副标题,以至于我翻开这本书的时候以为将看到一本迷幻文学小史类的科普读物——这当然是个误会。这本“集萃”有点企鹅小黑书合集那个意思,就像序言说的,是“迷幻文学拾零”。每一辑由一篇不长的导读引出与该辑的重点“迷幻产品”相关的几篇节选,从小说到小论文都有。既有《裸体午餐》那种“high大了”的著名段落,也有德昆西的知名的自我剖析和福尔摩斯的嗑药片段。Peter Pan的作者的一篇关于他戒烟的“心路历程”(《我的尼古丁夫人》)很喜感——太太入睡后他支起耳朵隔着墙听隔壁男人吸烟的一举一动,挑剔着对方对烟斗的不当处置,甚至连那边有几根什么材质的烟斗和使用顺序都了如指掌。承认吧,你这烟戒的才不想你写的那么心甘情愿!

FS: "In my previous books on psychoactive drugs, The Alchemy of Culture: Intoxicants in Society (1993) and The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Substances (1998), I concentrated on the cultural and historical influences of theses substances on humankind."

LS: "Ah felt like ah was at Rez, talking Woodsy down when he had his freak-out, but here ah was with a daft ault cunt in a bowling club."
