Shūichi Yoshida (吉田 修一) was born in Nagasaki, and studied Business Administration at Hosei University. He won the Bungakukai Prize for New Writers in 1997 for his story "Saigo no Musuko", and the Akutagawa Prize in 2002 (the fifth time he'd been nominated for the prize) for "Park Life". In 2002 he also won the Yamamoto Prize for Parade, and for winning both literary and popular prizes Yoshida was seen as a crossover writer, like Amy Yamada or Masahiko Shimada. In 2003 he wrote lyrics for the song "Great Escape" on Tomoyasu Hotei's album Doberman. His 2007 novel Villain won the Osaragi Jiro Prize and the Mainichi Publishing Culture Award, and was recently adapted into an award-winning 2010 film by Lee Sang-il.

他越對身邊的聲音描述得仔細,便越突顯她的聽不見、說不到,她的寂靜,「駭人的寂靜」他道。

然而,她的臉會問問題,她的笑容會說話。

沒有驚天動地的戀情,吉田修一的故事卻有種說不出的張力,令人不斷翻頁再翻頁。一直讀一直讀,讀到彷佛聽到書中的人群聲、囂鬧聲、細雨聲,甚至當中的寂靜無聲,卻逐漸聽不到現實世界的周遭。

從事新聞工作的早川俊平和聽障女孩響子的戀愛故事。

因之前事故而被調離新聞部門的早川,為能回到原本的崗位,透過各種管道希望能訪談阿富汗塔利班重量級人物製作炸毀大佛的幕後新聞,正此同時,和偶爾認識的聽障女孩響子談了一場寂靜無聲卻越來越有份量的戀愛。

作者在此作品中,又再次展現他「小題大作」的細膩功力。透過男主角的角度,流暢地傳達眼前觀看的人物事件。再加上和女主角之間只能用筆談,對話顯然縮減,敘事就更偏重主觀的譬喻、形容。

早川和響子之間表面無聲內心卻澎湃的交流,對應阿富汗塔利班炸毀大佛的轟然巨響。煙硝漸散後,真正的未來才要開始。向來已矣的都是逝者,來者或許可得,但要不要追,也只有「跨過就是未來,等待便成過去」的現在可決定。

不用「說」的你愛我愛,外面其他人的那個世界,實在太●吵●了。

原是被這書的「寂靜」兩字吸引,今天在八號風球高掛,仍能安坐家中細閱此書,另有一番感受。

沒有說話的戀愛,一動一靜的兩口子,最後走在一起!

書中這段最有共鳴:「感覺很不可思議。難過,卻鬆了一口氣。鬆了一口氣,卻為無法一起生活而難過。」
