匡超人

by 駱以軍

《匡超人》展演了駱以軍「想想」台灣和自己身體與創作的困境。他運用科幻典故，企圖七十二變，扭轉乾坤。他幻想夾縫裡的，壓縮後的時空，逆轉生命，反寫歷史，彌補那身體、敍事，以及歷史、宇宙的黑洞。然而寫著寫著他不禁感嘆：通往西天之路道阻且長，而那無限延伸的空無已然瀰漫四下。

「我們彷彿看見變妝皇后版的駱以軍，挑著祖師爺爺（魯迅？）的橫眉冷眼，擺著祖師奶奶（張愛玲？）華麗而蒼涼的手勢，揣著他獨門的受傷雞雞，走向台北清冷的冬夜街頭。他把玩著雞雞下那逐漸展開、有如女陰的，洞。仔細看去，那洞血氣洶湧，竟自綻放出一枝花來，膿豔欲滴——惡之花。」
——王德威（美國哈佛大學講座教授）

The most interesting part is this book predicts a heterosexual male’s castration anxiety in a post gender modern society. The whole “inflamed testicular ”is kinda cool.

Luo’s still quite capable of knitting a huge narrative web to attract anything and everything that comes his way. But and it’s a huge but, his stories read heavily borrowed. At times, it feels like he digests and filters all the information only to leave us readers with the excrement.

臃腫、碎嘴、私人、奇想、節外生枝，讀得好痛苦。
