我的創作.我的大阪:日本長篇小說第一人山崎豐子自述

Rate this book
  本書所收錄的散文,是知名作家山崎豐子,從出道作品《暖廉》到暢銷小說《白色巨塔》、《華麗一族》,寫作至今所發生的種種事情。而這些作品的中心舞臺,皆是大阪,也正是副書名《我的創作‧我的大阪》的由來。

  山崎認為,所謂小說,「必須讓人覺得有趣、有意思,讀完後有所感觸才行。」因此總是勇於挑戰新題材,最為人津津樂道者當屬刻畫醫界、金融界的《白色巨塔》和《華麗一族》,質疑權威、具有深度的寫作風格也是山崎廣受讀者愛戴的原因。

  本書也有許多以大阪成為主題的城市側寫散文,讓讀者能閱讀山崎筆下的故事舞台、城市街道、以及人們的真實姿態。也可體會山崎對家鄉的珍視及執著。此外,最後幾篇文章,收錄了作者寫小說時的準則,清楚紀錄這位名作家的寫作歷程。

  山崎豐子這位作家,究竟是如何誕生、如何成長?本書將為讀者呈現最完整的答案。

About the author

Toyoko Yamasaki

131 books22 followers
Toyoko Yamasaki (山崎 豊子, real name Sugimoto Toyoko; 3 November 1924 – 29 September 2013) was a Japanese novelist.

A native of Osaka, Yamasaki worked as a journalist for the Mainichi Shimbun from 1945 to 1959 after graduating from Kyoto Women's University in Japanese literature. She published her first story, Noren (1957), a story of a kelp trader, based on the experiences of her family's business. The following year, she won the Naoki Prize for her second novel Hana Noren, the story about the founder of an entertainment group. A major influence on her writings of that period was Yasushi Inoue, who was deputy head of the Mainichi Shimbun's cultural news desk.

Yamasaki wrote some stories based on actual events. For example, Futatsu no Sokoku is derived from the biography of a Japanese American David Akira Itami, and Shizumanu Taiyō is based on the Japan Airlines Flight 123 accident. Several works of hers were featured in films and television dramas.

山崎奶奶是我唯二喜歡的日本作家(另一位是宮部美幸,兩位都有社會派作家的美名,一位愛寫關西,一位愛寫關東),我敬佩她創作前採訪功課的孜孜不倦、細膩執著,更佩服她寫出日本男性作家少有達到的寬廣格局。這本《我的創作.我的大阪》是山崎奶奶2009年出版的三本自訴文集的第二卷,主要收錄作者自己對《華麗一族》之前每部作品的看法,以及山崎奶奶作客夏威夷大學的心得,也不禁使我想到──山崎奶奶還有這麼多作品──包括「戰爭三部曲」中與中國相關的《大地之子》,華文圈什麼時候才等得到中文版面市呢?
