我與城市

Rate this book
街頭充滿小小的咒術,還有無法訴諸言詞的法則。
在陌生且熟悉的東京巷弄間尋找昔日時光的人情風物,
那些專屬於吉本芭娜娜的記憶光景。

特別收錄
2025年最新作品
再也去不了的地方

長大就是這麼一回事。城市累積只屬於我個人的歷史,逐漸加深色彩。那幅著色畫畫到最後,自己也會連同那個離開人世。只留下色調深濃的心靈地圖。
吉本芭娜娜

我們不再前往的時刻,已經近在眼前了。
我們已到了會互相說著「不知還能去多久,明年不知還能不能來」這種話的年紀。
但心中無論何時,都有那片山與海。
--〈在此生活卻未定居〉

About the author

Banana Yoshimoto

236 books9,170 followers
Banana Yoshimoto (よしもと ばなな or 吉本 ばなな) is the pen name of Mahoko Yoshimoto (吉本 真秀子), a Japanese contemporary writer. She writes her name in hiragana. (See also 吉本芭娜娜 (Chinese).)

Along with having a famous father, poet Takaaki Yoshimoto, Banana's sister, Haruno Yoiko, is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. Growing up in a liberal family, she learned the value of independence from a young age.

She graduated from Nihon University's Art College, majoring in Literature. During that time, she took the pseudonym "Banana" after her love of banana flowers, a name she recognizes as both "cute" and "purposefully androgynous."

Despite her success, Yoshimoto remains a down-to-earth and obscure figure. Whenever she appears in public she eschews make-up and dresses simply. She keeps her personal life guarded, and reveals little about her certified Rolfing practitioner, Hiroyoshi Tahata and son (born in 2003). Instead, she talks about her writing. Each day she takes half an hour to write at her computer, and she says, "I tend to feel guilty because I write these stories almost for fun."

文章卡卡的....不知是原文就這樣,還是翻譯的問題。

摘句:
《甲州街道已是春》
和那種狀態非常相似。仔細想想也是滿可怕的人生。只靠著晚上喝的啤酒和下酒菜和觀察狗狗貓貓烏龜而生存。我討厭人也害怕人,但也害怕鬼魂和殺人魔,總之什麼都怕。最愛的是睡覺。9頁

狗的呼吸粗重。
「和你一起生活很幸福,可以的話就讓我們一起繼續生活下去吧,不過,如果太勉強,那我只想告訴你我愛你,和你在一起真的一直都很開心喔。」35頁

《追溯階層之路》
面對大多數人都覺得很可愛。對於不可愛的人,也能寬容地默默疏遠。就是那樣的年紀。97頁

《死胡同的回憶》
做過各種事情,去過各種國家,到頭來最大的幸福,就是能夠做理所當然的事。想吃好吃的,就能靠自己的雙腳走去吃,去洗澡,洗衣服,去唱卡拉OK,能夠這樣尋常地過著每一天,才是人生最重要的事。111頁

One of my favorite book read in this year. The point of view from a cities archeologist who accumulated her own experience and collected the small corners with identified their own different auras through decades. Touching with a slice of sharpness. Recommended.

個人喜好也許是2.5。

如前言所寫,收錄的文章為了集成本書出版,進行了大幅改寫,這讓前面數篇讀來相當脫節,上句和下句、前文和後文時常不太連貫,再加上作者(或譯者)文采較非白話,並有不少不斷句的長句,所以讀得有點痛苦。而每篇想訴說的意旨,也會有走遠了再被拉回來的感受,直白講,有點亂。

另外,作者雖在前言寫道,希望讀者把這當成是具自傳色彩的虛構小說來讀,不過後頭又自稱是散文,而整體讀來(對我)也是以城市作為主題的散文或隨筆的概念,因此抱著這樣的前提,應該還是比較正確吧。

很難說自己到底喜不喜歡《我與城市》,畢竟它帶給我的閱讀體驗不是太好,有點亂、有點看不到重點、有點重複性、有點思想和內容搭不太上。可是,讀完的確更了解吉本芭娜娜,也獲得思想上的收穫,產生對待生活的新觀點與方式。那麼閱讀的價值自然就在。

從小到大因為父母離異,輾轉住過好多城市,一直到25歲甚至自己決定要再搬去另一個城市展開新生活。我與我的城市,我甚至不曉得哪座城市才是屬於我的城市。謝謝這本書,讓我知道日常生活的支微末節都足夠組成我與我的城市之間的親密關係,這是如此可愛,不要過多的定義去給生活太大的壓力,凡事沒有一定,但要怎麼發現每分每秒的當下,生命如此短暫,不過如此。我希望我能像作者一樣,在生活裡找到如此微小卻刻骨銘心的愛,一生懸命,這本書便是浮木,謝謝我的城市,我將生活建立在你之上,共同成長,茂盛於你和我的心。
