by Xi Xi

这里的主角是足球裁判员或偷渡难民，故事发生在一座浮城或不存在的肥土镇，有人梦到自己飘在半空，有人发现自己身处禁闭营……作者在序言里说，在生命的激流中，每个人都有不同的渡船。如果你也听到了远方的鸟鸣，或许就是该打开这本书，探索河之彼岸的时刻。

Reviews

[Banana Umbrella · Rating 5 out of 5]

八號風球睇西西嘅《手卷》，書裏面八十年代嘅香港仍然浮喺半空，前途懸而未決；香港仍然係越南船民嘅苦地；另一方面卻係中國偷渡者心中嘅樂土；填鴨式教育摧殘師生；大人爭奪細路嘅撫養權，但係從來沒有人問過個細路想點。
四十年後嘅今日，回顧返，有啲問題已經解決咗，有啲表面上解決咗，有啲就反而越嚟越嚴重。
風雨中抱緊書本，一本真正講香港故事嘅書。
