Book Description

時被論者與詹姆士•喬埃斯的《都柏林人》相提並論的《臺北人》，堪稱當代中國小說的經典。哈佛大學教授韓南讚揚本書為「中國當代短篇小說的最高成就」。亨利•米勒形容白先勇為「描劃人物的大師」。書中各名篇，曾被翻譯成法、德、意、荷、希伯來、日、韓等多國語文，風靡無數讀者。p p align="left"b譯編作者簡介/b/p白先勇生於一九三七年，一九四九年以後與家人輾轉移徙到臺灣，後定居美國。其眾多膾炙人口的作品中包括《孽子》，可說是第一部處理同性戀題材的現代中國小說；其他還有早期的短篇小說、散文和劇作。白氏父親白崇禧(1893—1966)，是抗日戰爭時期的著名將領。白氏現時正撰寫其父親的傳記。

It is actually worth five-star rating, but I give it a four for the unbearable sadness and regret.

消失的身份

白先勇的'臺北人'以十四篇短篇虛構小說精闢的描述了在臺中國人在戒嚴期間的生活和心聲. 在這十四篇看似不同的故事中, 看到的僅是失望和主角們對'大陸'的美好回憶. 對於未來, 臺灣好如一座被霧繚繞著的小島, 大家只願近視般的過活. 移民, 難民, 還是統治者? 因於這些複雜心情, '臺北人'對在臺中國人是個誤稱的標題, 剩的只是地理上的正確. 很好奇的是(或, 很可悲的), 如擴大來說, 在今日的臺灣, 當時的來臺者(和其子女)是否仍對'臺灣人'這個稱號感到不適?

Pai Hsien-yung's 'Taipei People' packs a collection of 14 short stories brilliantly describing the lives of the Chinese people living on Taiwan during the period of martial law. Through the markedly distinctive story lines in the collection, dismay is one commonly emoted by their protagonists, while the sweetness in their lives remain locked on the 'mainland'. For them, Taiwan appears to be an island besieged by fog, where they pass their days myopically toward the future. Migrants, refugees, or colonisers? Due to the complexity involved, 'Taipei people' is almost seem as a misnomer if not for its geographical correctness. Curiously (rather, lamentably), in today's Taiwan, one wonders whether these former migrants (and their offsprings) who remain on the island would regard 'Taiwan people' a misnomer?
