第一次读的时候有些不舒服，因为作者真的是悲观到极致，而且里头介绍史上文学作者都在生活中有着巨大的坎坷和悲哀的经历。很感恩他们能挺过来，也感恩他们用自己的经历让我们了解如何去避开精神失常的状态，或在自己精神失常后，可以有多少种人生中放下过去或重新选择的选择。多半故事都在围绕着“欲望”、“失态”诉说故事。
多年后，再次回看坚持读完和看完后，感觉可以理解当中的感受。不想像《人间失格》的主角如此消极、浑浑噩噩过一生，不想像《阿Q正传》里头的阿Q如此骄傲自满而堕落到立场不断摇摆而成为过街老鼠的局面，千万不像《罗生门》里头的处境因环境和“无心”的情况而互相伤害各取所需，更不想成为《变形记》的寄生虫或《三月记》里的老虎。《三月记》里的梦想诗人成为达官贵人而疯了再回到去当诗人把自己隐藏起来的那一刻，真的太揪心了。
怎么说呢，他自己不知道自己为什么变成老虎，但是我们知道为什么。在他见友人而只说把他的诗带出去，而把亲人靠后的那一刻，他自己其实也知道为什么。那首他最后作的诗，也让我们看见了所有“溪山对明月”下，“不成长啸但成..."——不知道那是什么的什么，就得以看出那种从没让人走进心里，也让我联想到 Soul 里头那些 obsession 一念“天堂”，一念“地狱”的感觉。
老实说，也有令人感动的故事，比如《山国峡恩仇记》里头，从互相因为恐惧与欲望而互相伤害，到后来的用时间和勤奋的行动，让自己渐渐靠近爱，拥抱爱，放下仇恨与恩怨。他们一起修好路而大哭的那一刻，真是太揪心了，感恩啊，感恩。
也有让我看得快要“疯”了的《脑髓地狱》，简直是太虐人了，用神经系统，错乱的记忆和一切幻觉来去超控人间事实，所看见的一切，有点让人回想起“缸中之脑” 和《黑客帝国》的感觉！永远打不破的事实与真相复杂地与所有真实的信息加捏造的信息交织在一直都存在的某处，自己却不自知的感觉。
感恩有爱。

The first time I read it, it was a bit uncomfortable because the authors were all really pessimistic to the extreme, and the literary authors introduced throughout history have had huge obstacles and tragic experiences in life. I am very grateful that they were able to get through it (most times, probably), and I am also grateful that they share or express the experiences through words to help us understand how to avoid mental instability, or how do we deal with our emotions after experiencing mental instability. Then, also asking questions such as but not limited to: 'how many choices there are in life to let go of the past or make a new choice of?' Most of the stories revolve around 'desire' that human species could easily attach to and the ways that we might or might not be 'losing control' or 'being at the verge of losing control in undesired ways' to tell the story.
Many years later, after revisiting and finishing it, I feel like I can understand the feelings in it. I don't want to be as negative and aimless as the protagonist in 'No Longer Human,' I don't want to be as arrogant and ignorant as Ah Q in 'The True Story of Ah Q' and end up falling into a situation where one's stance is constantly switching (almost in the ways of just to please the others or aimlessly), then turn into a person that most people would most likely not like or invite. And, I definitely don't want to be in a situations like "Rashomon" where everyone hurts each other due to the environment and "unintentional" situations to get what they want (by the way, the way there's also a Rashomon Effect for how we just have different perspectives from how we see different parts of things certainly have to let us just embrace each other as well). I also don't want to become a parasite as seen in 'The Metamorphosis' or the tiger in 'March.' The moment in 'March' where the dreamy poet becomes a high-ranking official and goes mad, then returns to being a poet and hides himself away, is just so heart-wrenching?
Well, well, at first thought, he himself doesn't know why he turned into a tiger, but we do. After getting used to it, he's still into the poems. In that moment when he meets a friend and only talks about taking his poetry out to the world, putting his family as the second or not-so-important priority at the time being, he actually knows why, right? That last poem he wrote also shows us the messages because he wrote in between his line that everything under 'streams and mountains facing the bright moon,' 'not howling but becoming...'— after the becoming part, I actually don't know what that thing is, which makes total sense because that's the something nobody understands anymore, right? Plus, it does reveal a feeling that never lets anyone into the heart, and it reminds me of the obsession in 'Soul.' Also, in mandarin, there's sort of like a proverb or golden phrase that is directly translated as [one thought of 'heaven," one thought of 'hell'] and the feeling matches with it as well.
To be honest, there are also touching stories, like in 'The Tale of the Mountain Country's Enmity,' where they hurt each other because of fear and/or desire, but later, with time and diligent action, they gradually approach love, embrace love, and let go of fear, hatred or grudges. The moment they finally have done repairing, building and paving out a road around the mountain together, they just hug and cry heavily. That's just kind of heart-wrenching, but oh well, just being grateful for love and for what happens just happens.
There are also stories that almost made my mind go slightly nuts like 'Neural Hell,' as it's simply too torturous, using the nervous system, distorted memories, and all illusions to override reality, everything seen, somewhat reminiscent of 'The Brain in the Vat' kind of thing and the feeling of 'The Matrix'. The fact and truth that can never be broken are intricately intertwined with all the real information with made-up information that has always existed somewhere, but one is unaware of it?
Thank goodness for love.

Read
September 21, 2018著重於日本文學部分、跟少爺漫畫般、不聚焦於文學作品本身、大致介紹明治到昭和年間的作家及作品。
太宰治的人間失格中出現"資本論"、看過鶴見俊甫的"戰爭時期日本精神史"後、共產思想在一二戰時期的風行、及在日本轉向問題、再看太宰治更能體會那時代氛圍。
雖是漫畫、但也像別人的重點筆記、不同表現媒介帶來另一層面閱讀的樂趣。
對於坂口安吾"盛開的櫻花林下"、魑魅魍魎艷麗狂想氣氛最是印象深刻。
與太宰治同屬於戰後"無賴派"，記得老師上太宰治的課程時、實在很難進入太宰治的世界、總覺得為何如此頹敗、婚姻生活都如是呢?
坂口安吾不只有文學作品、還有一本有名的"墮落論"。戰敗後國民用保守思維抨擊改嫁的寡婦、力主要回到傳統武士道精神、坂口安吾喊出另外觀點:
當國家機器運作失靈、你我還是循規蹈矩、不去思考、不去質疑、不去挑戰，鄉愿地想做個"好人"、"善人"、豈不等是相當於默默不抵抗地直接等死。--寧為暴民、不為順民。
老師在川端的課程說到另本書"絕望的精神史"、金子光晴的首部譯作、其行銷手法為"媲美無賴派經典《墮落論》"、看來墮落論及絕望精神史、也默默加入書單了。
