Chu T'ien-hsin's The Old Capital is a brilliant evocation of Taiwan's literature of nostalgia and remembrance. The novel is centered on the question, "Is it possible that none of your memories count?" and explores the reliability of remembrances and the thin line that separates fact from fantasy. Comprised of four thematically linked stories and a novella, The Old Capital focuses on the cultural and psychological realities of contemporary Taiwan. The stories are narrated by individuals who share an aching nostalgia for a time long past. Strolling through modern Taipei, they return to the lost, imperfect memories called forth by the smells and sensations of their city, and try to reconcile themselves to their rapidly changing world. The novella is built on the memories and recollections of a woman trying to make sense of herself and her homeland. After a trip to Kyoto to meet with a friend, she returns to Taipei, where, having been mistaken for a Japanese tourist, she revisits the sites of her youth using a Japanese colonial map of the city. Seeing Taipei anew, the narrator confronts the complex nature of her identity, embodied in the contrast between a serene and preserved Kyoto and a thoroughly modernized and chaotic Taipei. The growing angst of these narrators reflects a deeper anxiety over the legacy of Japan and America in Taiwan. The titles of the stories themselves-"Death in Venice," "Man of La Mancha," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Hungarian Water"-reveal the strong currents of influence that run throughout the collection and shape the content and texture of the writing. In his meticulous translation, Howard Goldblatt captures the casual, intimate feel of Chu T'ien-hsin's writing while also maintaining its multiple layers of meaning. An intertextual masterpiece, The Old Capital is a moving and highly sensual meditation on the elasticity of memory and its power to shape personal identity.

評分《古都》有一种别致的韵味。 那时候的天空还很蓝,路边的树还很有个性,转角杂货铺的阿妈每次都摇着扇子微笑点头,“上学去啦”。回想起来,《古都》大概是这种风格,不,她给人的感觉更闲适、更无忧无虑,淡淡的,似有若无,却又真实存在。 《古都》采用的是一种对话的叙述方...
評分《鹤妻》 也不知道人是不是真正失去了才开始审视别人,审视自己。当发现这不像是一位认识9年的小薰,只觉得无形中被属于两个人的家里的一切所打败。她在我,是不快乐的。不知道我以后的家庭生活会变成什么样,甚至,那些大量囤积的货物已经让我看到了当前的自己,呼~那就好好...
