续巷说百物语

巷説百物語

by Natsuhiko Kyogoku, 京极夏彦, 王華懋 (Translator)

《续巷说百物语》是京极夏彦的经典作品“百物语系列”第2部，出版后大受好评，该系列还有《巷说百物语》《后巷说百物语》等，第3部《后巷说百物语》获日本大众文学最高奖——直木奖。
“百物语系列”看似写怪力乱神，实则以鬼魅写人心，借怪谈异闻揭穿人间罪恶阴谋，惩恶除奸，气氛情节鬼气森然，结局真相却都归于理性可解，具有强烈的推理色彩，是日系推理与妖怪小说无法绕过的传世经典。正如京极夏彦所说：“最能够表现日本文化的就是妖怪。以妖怪为关键词解读日本，我觉得非常有意义。我一直觉得，容不下妖怪的地方，人的存在也会受到威胁。如果一味追求成为经济大国，完全无视和排斥科学理性之外的东西，国民是不会得到幸福的。”

不掉书袋就只剩下玄乎和唠叨，反而没什么吸引力。

京極氏の巷説シリーズ第二にあたる。
彼の本領は長編で発揮されると思っている一読者としては、やはり物足りないとしか言えない。ただ、文体や構成は京極氏自身が楽しみながら書いている様子がありありと窺える。
小難しい京極スタイルが苦手という人への入門書としては前作に同じ。
