━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

日治時代長大,一個從小熱愛讀書、歌唱的無憂孩子,因參加讀書會被懷疑涉及政治活動,經程序不義的軍法審判後,受囚於綠島十年,度過了漫長十年的青春期;出獄後,他在經濟起飛的時代,為理想創辦了五年級生家喻戶曉的《王子》兒童雜誌,更自幕後一手推動了紅葉少棒傳奇;晚年,在亞洲民主浪潮的湧動中,開始面對過去、找尋真相。

蔡焜霖,1930年生於台中清水,2023年逝於台北,享壽93歲,曾經真實存在,本套書跨及他5至90歲的人生。化做一道風之後的他,成了永恆的民主志工,卻也仍是那個愛讀書的清水孩子。

每一年,我不忘必須寫一點有關二二八的記憶。
------
228那年,家父正好是員林中學的校長。那時聘用了幾個剛從中國大陸來台灣教書的教員。他的責任之一就是要保護這些人。所幸他算是盡了責任。這些教員都安全度過這個危機。
------
大概是5年前吧,家母與我囘到竹山,是50多年來我們一起到這個地方,因爲她在1946秋-1949年初在現在的竹山高中教書。幾十年下來,人事已經全非,但居然還是遇到一個老工人的女兒,她都已經退休了,不過還記得家母。所以就陪了我們母子在學校裏參觀,講些只有她們兩人還記得的往事。
到了校門口,我母親指著對面的房子說:“這裏當時還只是一片空地。228的時候,有些學生也跟著去示威(鬧事?),結果死了大約20個人,被抬囘來放在這塊空地上。”
77年了,今年我母親已經104嵗。雖然時間是記憶最大的敵人,但是記憶是創造生命意義的基本要素。聼老人家談起這件往事,心中萌發的影像,簡直好像是真的,内心震憾不已。這是我第一次聼她講。畢竟不在那個地方,就缺乏囘憶的動機和素材,幾十年來第一次陪媽媽回到那個場景,這才引發她的記憶。即使她講得和緩而平靜,根本只是平鋪直敘。但是她的話對周遭的人來説,那真的是難以忘懷的新記憶。
這間學校當時只收初中學生。所以我想一定有好幾個是不到15嵗的孩子。

這週六到台南孔廟,第二場音樂會
可能是 3 個人和文字的圖像
【執行長報報:孔廟穿越劇音樂會】
8月24日,下午四點,請來臺南孔廟聽音樂會。
臺南孔廟就在這裡,他是國定古蹟,一直會在這裡。執行長的工作,就是讓他不止在這裡越來越古蹟,而是越來越新穎。
天行健,君子以自強不息。茍日新,又日新。孔子傳統上在我們的文化中,但孔子高興的是越來越新穎。
孔子也認為全人的素養一定要有音樂。於是六藝當中有「樂」。但不是走進音樂廳,坐得端正,屏住呼吸聽表演的那種音樂。音樂要體驗。音樂要活。所以臺南孔廟的音樂會請到數位傳聲的吳家恆先生,一邊聽,一邊導聆。聽音樂很怕「聽不懂」。沒關係,我們先講給你聽,再奏給你聽。
週六下午,走進孔廟,聽沒有負擔的音樂會。長笛家林悅慈 Yueh-tzu Lin ,小提琴家呂珮菱,演奏的是與臺南孔廟建造當時年代相當的古樂器,曲目是與臺南孔廟建造當時年代相當的曲目。
今年孔廟文化節的主題是「穿越劇」。
8月24日,下午四點,歡迎光臨臺南孔廟,與我們一起暖場,一起穿越,一起鬧中取靜;南門路的樹蔭下,有人車的喧囂,當中有我們明倫堂屋簷下獨享的,穿越時空的音樂。
《巴洛克小提琴與長笛二重奏》音樂曲目及報名繳費方式,詳見官網🔗https://bit.ly/46CBlIB

MAUS A Survivor's Tale II. And Here My Troubles Began. By Art Spiegelman. Pantheon Books.
It may look like a comic book, but "Maus II" is serious, subtle and eloquent pictorial literature. In his first "Maus" (1986) Art Spiegelman created a character, Artie Spiegelman, who was struggling to understand his parents, Vladek and Anja, survivors of Au schwitz; but he never directly told the story of the Holocaust. Here, without sentimentality or melodrama, he confronts it in tales of incidents that may be incommunicable. One might expect a strip portraying Jews as mice, Germans as cats and other people as different kinds of animals to be distracting. But the animals allow one to follow the fable without drowning in horror. The struggle to transform history into art is a central part of the drama here.

The reader, sucked into the heart of the maelstrom, develops insights that are beyond the capacity of the characters; that is a mark of Mr. Spiegelman's mastery of narrative.

MAUS 倖存者的故事 II。我的麻煩就從這裡開始了。作者:阿特‧史皮格曼。萬神殿書籍。
它可能看起來像一本漫畫書,但《鼠族II》是一本嚴肅、微妙、雄辯的圖畫文學。在他的第一部《鼠族》(1986)中,阿特·斯皮格曼(Art Spiegelman)創造了一個角色阿蒂·斯皮格曼(Artie Spiegelman),他很難理解他的父母弗拉德克(Vladek)和安雅(Anja),他們是奧施維茨集中營的倖存者。但他從未直接講述大屠殺的故事。在這裡,他沒有多愁善感,也沒有情節劇,而是在講述一些難以言喻的事件的故事中面對它。人們可能會認為將猶太人描繪成老鼠、德國人描繪成貓以及其他人描繪成不同種類的動物的連環畫會分散注意力。但這些動物讓人們在追尋寓言的同時,又不會被恐懼淹沒。將歷史轉化為藝術的鬥爭是這齣戲劇的核心部分。

讀者被捲入漩渦的中心,發展出超越人物能力的洞察力;這是史匹格曼先生敘事技巧高超的標誌。

Editors' Choice 1991


Editors' Choice: 1981-1998
1981 | 1982 | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 |

Two first novels and what appears at first glance to be a comic book are among the works of fiction in this year's list of best books, along with two volumes of stories.

On the nonfiction list are the first volume of a massive biography, a scientific and philosophical tour de force, a psychological meditation on the mutilation of memory by unspeakable experience, a lyrical and anguished record of a writer's life mined from his journals and a volume that began as a government report and turned into a passionate indictment of the incompetence that resulted in a nuclear disaster.

There is no thread running through all these books. But it might be noted that three of them, one of nonfiction and two of fiction, touch the Holocaust -- not the catastrophe itself, but survivors' memories of it.

These 10 were chosen by the editors of The Book Review from an initial list of 38 books reviewed since last year's Christmas Books issue and nominated by the editors themselves. Disagreement is a persistent pest: the selection was made in often combative weekly meetings that began the week after Labor Day and ended early in November only because there was a deadline.

The following summaries of the books are drawn from the reviews that appeared in The Book Review.

COMPLETE COLLECTED STORIES By V. S. Pritchett. Random House.
V. S. Pritchett at the age of 90 has gathered 82 stories, written over 65 years, that he wants to preserve. They differ vastly in length and style, but all illustrate the strangeness of the ordinary, reflecting a child's clarity of vision but with a slightly corrupt knowingness. In addition to their intrinsic beauty, these tales provide rich allusions to life in England through this century: changing cultural surfaces, alterations in manners, sinking values. But through the changes human passion obstinately prevails, and Pritchett celebrates it. His characters are mostly commonplace people who may seem comic or tedious until one realizes that great passions move them. His work is an exaltation of life.

CONSCIOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Daniel C. Dennett. Little, Brown & Company.
The audacious title of this book, which attempts a scientific explanation of the feeling we have of being aware and self-deliberating, is emblematic of the style of Daniel C. Dennett, a provocative philosopher who is fully conversant in psychology, neuroscience and computer science. His book can be tough reading, but his writing is incisive, bright and often humorous. He arrives at a theory of his own to explain how our neural machinery has evolved to give us an uncanny reflective capacity that has led people for millenniums to suppose the body is inhabited by a spirit. But even those who reject his theory will value his illuminating attacks on previous scientific explanations and his extraordinarily clear syntheses of other theories of mind, brain and consciousness. Mr. Dennett's book is the best example in many years of science aimed with wonderful accuracy both at scientists and at general readers.

HOLOCAUST TESTIMONIES The Ruins of Memory. By Lawrence L. Langer. Yale University Press.
Analyzing hundreds of taped interviews with Holocaust survivors kept in a video archive at Yale University, Lawrence L. Langer demonstrates that they often speak from "common memory," recalling events in an ordered and detached way. But often they speak from "deep memory," reliving chaotic, brutal and degraded reality with a sense of irrecoverable loss. He argues persuasively that habitual references to the survivors as embodiments of the "invincible" or even "noble" human spirit are wrong. During the Holocaust, he says, the self functioned on the edge of extinction, and the personal histories of its victims are utterly beyond our evaluation. Despite being frequently quite abstract and full of psychological theory, this book has great power, never more so than in the extensively quoted recollections of these fugitives from the worst of hells.

THE JOURNALS OF JOHN CHEEVER By John Cheever. Alfred A. Knopf.
This generous selection from a journal John Cheever kept for more than 35 years shares with his fiction four main subjects: nature, God, home and sex. It lets us see the beast crouching in the bushes of the well-kept houses that fill his stories. Loneliness, at the center of all his work, accounts for his obsessive idealization of home and hearth, and the journal reflects his anguish at the conflicts that idealization created. Wanting to be a good husband and father, he was an alcoholic and a bisexual who hated his double life. Some readers may wish less dirt were exposed, but all can luxuriate in this rich prose, especially when Cheever writes about writing. That he struggled against terrible odds is evident here; but he left behind work of great beauty in all his books, including this one.

A LIFE OF PICASSO Volume One, 1881-1906. By John Richardson, with the collaboration of Marilyn McCully. Random House.
This, the first of four long-awaited volumes of the biography of Pablo Picasso, has the steady, unhurrying pace of Victorian biographies. John Richardson was long a neighbor of Picasso's in the south of France and had the trust of the artist and his widow, as well as of countless friends of theirs. His affectionate tale, filled with a tumult of reminiscence, is also hardheaded, putting to an end many legends the painter himself helped create. Not only Picasso but hundreds of others spring to life, and Mr. Richardson makes vivid the intrigues, jealousies, enmities, passions and loves of the extraordinary people who became involved with Picasso. The volume ends, tantalizingly, with a thrilling description of Picasso's preparations in 1906 to begin "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," a painting that would change the direction of all art.

MATING By Norman Rush. Alfred A. Knopf.
Norman Rush's first novel, about a woman anthropologist seeking perfect love and the perfect lover, another anthropologist who has created a utopia in Africa, is one of the wisest and wittiest fictional meditations ever written on the subject of mating. It illuminates the nature of true intimacy. At their happiest, the lovers arrive at a state that is exalting in its seeming inexhaustibility. All this is presented in an allusive, freewheeling first-person narrative of impressive intelligence. The reader's education is tested and expanded by the fast and self-conscious company of the narrator and her beloved, people whose mordant wordplay is sly and pleasantly unobtrusive. If such brilliant writing is not enough, this woman's quest is a grand adventure across a land that assaults and seduces all the senses.

MAUS A Survivor's Tale II. And Here My Troubles Began. By Art Spiegelman. Pantheon Books.
It may look like a comic book, but "Maus II" is serious, subtle and eloquent pictorial literature. In his first "Maus" (1986) Art Spiegelman created a character, Artie Spiegelman, who was struggling to understand his parents, Vladek and Anja, survivors of Au schwitz; but he never directly told the story of the Holocaust. Here, without sentimentality or melodrama, he confronts it in tales of incidents that may be incommunicable. One might expect a strip portraying Jews as mice, Germans as cats and other people as different kinds of animals to be distracting. But the animals allow one to follow the fable without drowning in horror. The struggle to transform history into art is a central part of the drama here. The reader, sucked into the heart of the maelstrom, develops insights that are beyond the capacity of the characters; that is a mark of Mr. Spiegelman's mastery of narrative.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHERNOBYL By Grigory Medvedev. Translated by Evelyn Rossiter. Basic Books.
The revelations in this classic in the history of nuclear power are shocking, and its drama is gripping. Grigory Medvedev, chief engineer at Chernobyl when it was built in 1970 and a Soviet Government energy official at the time it exploded in 1986, investigated the explosion on site and interviewed many of its victims before they died of radiation burns. His book begins slowly and somewhat technically, but soon becomes a taut drama; it gives the locations of all the people in the reactor building, along with their fears and doubts second by second, as the monster they tried to control began to rock in a wild dance before it ripped apart, spewing more radiation than any explosion or bomb, ever. If this is a tale of official incompetence, it is also one of the heroism of many men and women who rushed into the facility to rescue the injured and contain damage at the cost of their lives. The implications of this book for the future of nuclear power are chilling.

TWO LIVES "Reading Turgenev" and "My House in Umbria." By William Trevor. Viking.
The beautifully composed surfaces of William Trevor's storytelling in these two novellas are nicely deceptive, for the reader is gently jolted into seeing beneath them the rippling complexities inherent in being human. In one tale a woman is confined to a mental institution after the failure of a doomed marriage from which she had taken refuge in a passionate attachment to her cousin, whose early death not only did not end her fervor but endowed her with a strange freedom. In the other a woman novelist injured in the bombing of a train takes other survivors into her home as she recovers; but as she heals she finds the great injury of her life is her past. In both novellas Mr. Trevor shuffles scenes from the past and the present -- some of them darkly comic -- subtly underlining ways in which these two different lives illuminate each other. In a wry but compassionate way he shows how fragments in the "peepshow of memory" can make up a life.

WARTIME LIES By Louis Begley. Alfred A. Knopf.
In this masterly first novel, Louis Begley, a Manhattan lawyer who as a boy managed to escape the Nazis in his native Poland, tells the tale of Maciek, a Jewish boy who also survives, but at enormous cost. The boy is too young to judge the cruelties he suffers, and his voice has a fine, unguarded authority, especially since the story is framed in the perspective of the cultivated and wary middle-aged man he later becomes. Maciek, whose mother died at his birth, spends the war years in the care of an aunt fiercely determined to survive. From her he learns the terrible discipline of deception at an age when deceit costs him his soul but failure to deceive would cost his life. At the end the man in midlife, faithful to the dark irony of little Maciek's fate, confines his childhood to the empty realm of lies and thus, without saying so, underlines the saving value of fiction, in which lies can be reconciled with truth.
