明暗是人生場景,悲歡在一瞬之間

文字獨特迷人,手法精粹內斂,25篇短小說帶你潛入深海。
他透過迷濛、蒼涼的一瞬之眼,為世間男女留住動人畫面。

「他牽引讀者的眼睛,一步一步走進故事核心,總是在最後展現一刀斃命的絕活,直刺讀者的心。」——陳芳明

「王定國把我們帶回到現代小說之初始處,還原小說這份現在經常被遺忘了的功能──張開眼睛認知看似平凡的現實底下,藏著一點都不平凡的複雜遭遇與感情。」——楊照

「寫作對我而言確實也是這樣,一無所求的追尋,才發現它含有至高無上的價值;如同我們的閱讀,藉由每個段落凝聚一雙眼睛,在黑夜裡睜開,取代苦澀的吶喊,似乎才看得見溫暖或者飄忽的光。」——王定國

人生總有一些片段,發生的時候措手不及,事後永難抹滅。王定國精簡而詩意的文字,捕捉茫茫人世情感欲念的滄桑、悔恨、惆悵與困境,那些當下無能拆解又經歲月緊緊纏繞的命運繩結、無法碰觸卻遺忘不了的愛恨,凝轉為叫人無處躲藏的注視。他筆下的人物即是現世的折射,賣身的女子、失婚的男人、年老失智的小三、守墳青年、料理店學徒、跛腳的花店送貨員、開挖土機的女駕駛、富商情婦、走後門的律師、重病的母親、機要情人……,他們在各自的困局裡,進退兩難,茫然等待,或面無表情地轉身,或被多年前的一陣急雨蒙住了去路,但在老病衰微時刻,也許終將有「一抹苦苦的笑意慢慢閃出了淚光」。

二十五篇短小說,將世間男女無言以對的情愫,舒爽地一次呼出。

Ting-Kuo Wang 王定國

Born in Lukang in 1955, Wang now lives in Taichung. He started writing at the age of seventeen, and from eighteen his short stories began winning prizes all over the island, including the China Times and Unitas awards. He has worked in fields as diverse as building design, surveying and advertising.

His early writings were love songs to nature and youth, but in his twenties he took a distinctly more politically conscious turn, mixing reportage and commentary with novels about the downtrodden in society. He stopped writing for many years while he built up his own company, until 2013, when he returned to widespread acclaim with a series of books including So Hot, So Cold and Who Blinked in the Dark. His newest novel My Enemy's Cherry Tree won multiple awards.

王定國的文字及故事,可以讓人一看再看
有些故事現在無法體會,但再過了五年、十年,
相信會有很不一樣的感覺。
