就算殿後也照睡不誤

by Shion Miura, 三浦紫苑, 楊明綺 (Translator)

沉迷於追星、羅曼史和靈異怪談，
每天抱著皮卡丘入睡、與又愛又恨（？）的年邁父母相處……
這些「荒謬但又覺得活著真好」的瞬間，
一定能讓你笑著撐過下一個明天。

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⋆⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶

「殿後」是指壓在軍隊最後以抵禦追殺而來的敵軍。而擁有肩負如此重責大任，還是照睡不誤的膽識──即是三浦紫苑的人生哲學──無論發生什麼事，都能幽默地抵抗或接受。

微不足道的日常在她筆下竟充滿戲劇性，隱含哲思與柔情，更以坦率又自嘲的方式看待生活中的種種困頓、家人老化、身體病痛與流行文化衝擊等，宛如一部荒腔走板的中年生存紀。

當中有奇聞軼事、未公開的怪癖，更有出人意表的超展開……讓你在苦悶時想起日子裡的可愛，一邊讀一邊忍不住點頭如搗蒜：「悠悠哉哉最讚了！」

想幫植物換盆卻意外搞砸、為了躲避編輯催稿而逃到地下、和在玄關築巢的蜂大戰了一場？！本書收錄了三浦自2019年起，在時尚雜誌《BAILA》連載長達4年的55則隨筆，和小說相比所呈現出的反差感，絕對讓你一翻開就上癮。

❑ 給同樣看不完Netflix影片的你
我這個人可能不太適合「訂閱制」吧。尤其是Netflix這種付費的影音平台。

「世上明明有那麼多有趣的作品，我的壽命卻最多只剩半個世紀吧。不管再怎麼卯起來看，也只能看完一成左右的作品，嗚嗚……」頓時心情低落。

因此，我不時向Netflix遞出分手信（也就是頻頻解除訂閱），卻又馬上提復合……就這樣反反覆覆好幾次。自己到底是多想得到Netflix的關注啊！──摘自〈太陽讓我深感絕望〉

❑ 給偶爾會靈感全失的你
「每個月都要找寫作素材不會很累嗎？」有幾位文字記者這麼提問，我每次都一臉得意地回道：「雖然我常宅在家，但每個月至少會遇到一件可作為寫作素材的事，所以沒問題的。」

但這次我真的沒料可寫了！因為自從《名偵探皮卡丘》的DVD蒞臨寒舍後，我每天至少看兩遍。一邊吃飯，一邊洗碗、打掃，一邊喜孜孜地觀賞皮卡丘，還不時一手拿著除塵滾筒，「呀呀呀呀啊～」地興奮怪叫。這樣的生活別說出門了，就連和別人見面都不太可能，所以沒料可寫也是理所當然。──摘自〈魅力破表〉

About the author

Shion Miura (三浦しをん) (1976–) , daughter of a well-known Japanese classics scholar, acquired her love of reading at a very young age. When, as a senior in the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University, she began her job hunt looking for an editorial position, a literary agent recognized her writing talent and hired her to begin writing an online book review column even before she graduated. Miura made her fiction debut a year after finishing college, in 2000, when she published the novel Kakuto suru mono ni maru (A Passing Grade for Those Who Fight), based in part on her own experiences during the job hunt. When she won the Naoki Prize in 2006 for her linked-story collection Mahoro ekimae Tada Benriken (The Handymen in Mahoro Town), she had not yet reached her 30th birthday—an unusually young age for this prize; in fact it was her second nomination. Her novels since then include the 2006 Kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru (The Wind Blows Hard), about the annual Ekiden long-distance relay race in which universities compete, and the 2010 Kogure-so monogatari (The Kogure Apartments), depicting the lives of people dwelling in an old rundown wooden-frame apartment house. In 2012 she received the Booksellers Award for the novel Fune o amu (The Great Passage), a tale about compiling a dictionary. A manga aficionado, Miura has declared herself a particular fan of the "boys' love" subgenre about young homosexual encounters.

Reviews

[Tiffany Zhao · Rating 3 out of 5]

At first this was a charming read. I really enjoyed the author's tales of daily Japanese life and her interactions with her elderly parents. However she keeps going on and on about her insecurities, and at one point I simply had enough with her
1. Age
2. Weight issues
3. Self esteem issues
4. Late submission of her work
5. Joking about commiting seppuku out of shame

Seriously. Confidence is attractive, false humility is extremely off putting. It became quite a tortuous read, I had to Google the author to see how she is so famous that someone would actually publish these chapters that read like random blog posts.

其實我超喜歡三浦的散文，因為很樸實又很好笑。小說家不知道是有要表現出自己的職業特性的義務（或是壓力？），還是真的是屬於怪人比較多的業界，多數的小說家所寫的散文都讓普通人的我覺得沒有共鳴，甚至有時候還覺得奇怪，在這之中三浦的散文真的很平易近人，雖然她也有怪的一面，但至少是多數人可以理解的怪（大概）。

這本我覺得很有趣而印象比較深刻的有，自杯男。三浦有次去旅行，在飯店看到有人自帶酒杯，結果把此事告訴曾經合作過的品酒家，對方竟然想盡辦法找到了當時自杯男所喝的酒，過程很像是日常推理，我覺得很有意思。還有一篇是描寫到三浦家附近的宅配營業所，裡面的員工成尾（她自己取的）與三浦（自己想像的）攻防戰，我覺得很好笑，內心戲也太多了吧。

不過最最最好笑的應該是就是各種有關皮卡丘的文章，甚至三浦後來還買了皮卡丘的等身抱枕，然後還會自己演皮卡丘的台詞（？）跟自己對話，正常人會覺得羞恥到爆炸的情境，三浦卻很自然地寫成散文，後面還用皮卡丘的視點寫成短篇小說也讓我差點笑死。但我覺得這種地方充滿想像力跟表演力的地方，或許就是三浦身為小說家的特點之一吧？雖然普通人如我偶爾也會跟自己對話就是了。

A soothing remedy for life’s anxieties.

This book served as a "anxiety reliever" for my soul. We often think of famous people as distant figures leading lives completely different from ours, but this book completely shatters that stereotype.

By sharing her various hilarious everyday anecdotes, Shion Miura makes herself feel so much more "human" and approachable.

Through these witty essays, I’ve come to realise that stories and joy are everywhere in life, and that life itself is something to be savored. Even for those who currently feel indifferent toward the world, this book encourages us to keep experiencing and searching—because you just haven't encountered that spark yet.
