惡女書

by Can Xue, 陳雪

《惡女書》為十年前陳雪的第一本小說創作，不但變成了陳雪的「代名詞」，也是許多研究她的學生、學者、評論者必然會提到的重點書單。本書共收錄〈尋找天使遺失的翅膀〉、〈異色之屋〉、〈夜的迷宮〉、〈貓死了之後〉四篇中篇，以第一人稱告白體，書寫女同性戀充滿罪惡感卻又耽溺其中的情慾，在看似淫蕩敗德的字裡行間，流露的是被社會主流價值所壓抑的痛苦與悲哀。作者述說的是關於「人內在」的故事，不只是女性的，不只是同性戀的，更不只是情慾的，而是企圖用文字與肉身極力抵抗所謂「唯一的真實」。

About the author

残雪

Can Xue (Chinese: 残雪; pinyin: Cán Xuĕ), née Deng Xiaohua (Chinese: 邓小华), is a Chinese avant-garde fiction writer, literary critic, and tailor. She was born May 30, 1953 in Changsha, Hunan, China. Her family was severely persecuted following her father being labeled an ultra-rightist in the Anti-rightist Movement of 1957. Her writing, which consists mostly of short fiction, breaks with the realism of earlier modern Chinese writers. She has also written novels, novellas, and literary criticisms of the work of Dante, Jorge Luis Borges, and Franz Kafka. Some of her fiction has been translated and published in English.

其實楊照為此書寫的序即述說了一切。
陳雪的《惡女書》將同性戀傾向歸因於戀母、自戀、童年經驗或某種創傷、精神疾病，總覺得有點逃避現實，似乎還不是完全的自我性傾向認同，但她所塑造出的魔幻世界仍令人嚮往。本書的內容也較注重情慾，與邱妙津那種不斷的自我挖掘、內心衝突，有所不同，故以短篇而言，給人的感受還不夠深刻。

(這是我在當兵期間看的一本書) 惡女書裡頭有四篇短篇小說，最讓我印象深刻的是《尋找天使遺失的翅膀》，這篇也是在「台灣同志文學」圈裡被廣為討論的。

「我們都是遺失了翅膀的天使，眼睛仰望著只有飛翔才能到達的高度，赤足走在炙熱堅硬的土地上，卻失去了人類該有的方向。」我看到了故事主角對愛情無比的渴望，也看到了主角在所面臨的困難前的不知所措和無奈。同時，心裡也難受了起來。

此外，論寫作風格，我有點看不懂作者跳tone跳很快的風格，也不是很清楚接收到每一篇故事作者想轉達給讀者的訊息。

The Book of the Wicked Girls, by Taiwanese author 陳雪, is probably one of my most favorite lesbian novels, this short novel collection contents four short stories, each of them are equally poetic, dark and imaginative.
