도서실의 바다

Rate this book
'온다 리쿠 종합선물세트, 모듬 온다 리쿠, 온다 리쿠 샘플러'라는 문구로 수식할 수 있는 단편집이다. 미스터리, 호러, SF 등 온다 리쿠 문학의 다채로운 세계를 만낄할 수 있는 열 편의 소설이 수록되었다. 온다 리쿠 소설을 아직 읽지 않은 독자에게는 입문서가, 온다 리쿠 마니아들에게는 보석과도 같은 컬렉션이 되어줄 책.

앞서 국내에 출간된 '삼월' 연작에서 볼 수 있듯, 온다 리쿠는 '예고편'이 되는 소설을 쓰고 그것을 바탕으로 장편을 쓰면서 점점 이야기를 확대시켜 나가기를 좋아하는 작가다. <밤의 피크닉>의 전날 밤 이야기를 담은 단편 '피크닉 준비'를 비롯, 이 단편집의 주를 이루는 작품들 역시 온다 리쿠의 여러 장편소설과 연결되어 있다.

또 하나의 사요코 이야기인 '도서실의 바다'와 더불어 <보리의 바다에 가라앉는 열매>의 히로인 리세의 어린시절 이야기, 어느 웨이트리스의 살의와 고독을 그린 섬뜩한 이야기, 미발표 장편 SF의 예고편 등 총 10편의 수록작은 각각 1995년부터 2001년 사이에 씌어졌다.

  果然不能對作者抱有過高期望,虎頭蛇尾的結局往往是最讓人無奈。看了後記,才發現原來這些短篇,日後都成為長篇故事的簡介,真讓人無言……
  最喜歡的是開篇故事,一直重覆的時間迴旋,莫名地引起我的興趣,看完後也對《古今和歌集》產生興趣。
  至於作者在篇末預告可能推出的科幻巨著《綠袖子》,好像也頗有趣的樣子。不過,我個人對這首歌的印象一直都不太好--當年會考及高考的英文聆聽考試,就是以這首歌來伴奏,每次聽到都會勾起痛苦的回憶。

This is a collection of ten short stories, some of them are prequels/spin-offs for her other novels like the one for "夜晚的遠足" while others were unrelated oneshots.

Even having read the book a few weeks ago, I still remembered that I really liked some of the short stories. My favourite story was "奧德賽" where I had fun imagining a moveable city/land and what it saw over the years. "遠足的準備" did its job and made me want to continue reading its main story "夜晚的遠足" (which I read after finishing this book).

This is a good book for people who want to understand the writing style of Onda Riku and those who only have the time/concentration for short stories.

在圖書館裡尋找借書卡上的名字,大概是時代的眼淚了。

To me, this collection of short stories of Onda Riku's was pretty much a motivator to dig into her other fictions. For example, I checked out Sixth Sayoko after reading this selection of short stories.
