貓町

乙女の本棚

by Sakutarō Hagiwara, 荻原朔太郎, しきみ (Illustrator)

❝從很久以前，我便透過某種特別的方法，去過一趟又一趟的奇幻之旅。那種旅行是人們得以遨翔在時空與因果之外的唯一剎那，也不妨說是巧妙利用夢境與現實的界線，在主觀構建而成的自由世界裡恣意徜游。❞

　　從東京來到北越溫泉地的「我」，不經意踏進一處優美閑靜的雅致城市。然而，當我意識到隱藏在這座城市背後的玄妙之處時，出現在我眼前的，是大量呈現人類姿態的貓。貓、貓、貓。不管望向何處，映入視野的全都是貓。我能相信眼前的景象嗎？走過那熟悉的轉角卻迷失了方向，一頭栽進了現實與虛幻交雜的異想空間。

About the author

Hagiwara Sakutarō (萩原朔太郎) was a Japanese writer of free-style verse, active in the Taishō and early Shōwa periods of Japan. He liberated Japanese free verse from the grip of traditional rules, and he is considered the “father of modern colloquial poetry in Japan”. He published many volumes of essays, literary and cultural criticism, and aphorisms over his long career. His unique style of verse expressed his doubts about existence, and his fears, ennui, and anger through the use of dark images and unambiguous wording.

或許倒反的不是世界，而是自身在那一瞬間被抽換到了平行世界，就像訊號有時會錯頻一樣。
