有很久一段時間沒有看小說，自從離開學校後。最早看到這本書是在天母的淳久堂日文書店，大約是今年七月時。當時整面書櫃全部擺滿1Q84，看見那光景著實讓我嚇了一跳。什麼時候發行的？我怎麼完全不知道。回家查了一下，發現中文翻譯版還沒發行，於是就先買日文版回家研究…。
上個月時報發行中文版，譯者一樣是找老牌的賴明珠，翻得很道味，我喜歡。
故事是個架空於日本社會的現代故事，時空設定在1984年，乍看之下像是《世界末日與冷酷異境》的寫作手法，也就是平行的雙重故事，第一、三、五、七章以女主角為觀點寫故事，第二、四、六、八章則是把鏡頭轉到男主角那邊。兩者毫不相干的獨立故事，到最後卻互相有交集，這是村上最拿手的寫作法。
全書分上下兩冊，單冊有24章，兩冊共48章。村上解釋這是向巴哈（J.S. Bach）的平均律鋼琴曲致敬。平均律是練古典鋼琴一定會練到的曲目，分上下兩冊，一冊有12個大小調，一個調一首練習曲，兩本共48首，而《1Q84》有48章。
－顧爾德．巴哈平均律C小調前奏曲BWV871
一開始的故事很引人入勝，讓人不知不覺地沈醉在裡頭，與故事人物產生共鳴。女主角白天是健身教練，晚上是個殺手。男主角白天是數學老師，晚上則是小說家。令人驚訝的是作者不僅對人物與事情刻劃功力很高，他還具有深而廣的雜學知識（常識）。例如描寫俄國的邊境，寫得像從小在那裡長大的一樣詳細。描寫人體構造，可以寫到像外科醫生的術語一樣專業，事實上他旅行考查過很多地方，簡直近乎苦行式的小說家。
《1Q84》是部很電影式的小說，如果改編成電影，應該可以不費吹灰之力完成改編。我看完的感覺，像是介於《世界末日與冷酷異境》及《發條鳥年代記三部曲》之間。雖然很震驚，但由於故事結局太天馬行空，以致於沒有像世界末日那本一樣讓人分不清現實還是書本。
故事很多沒有交待清楚，作者說2010年5月會出第三部（日本版），這裡突然想到，以前國中時（大約十五年前）曾幫他的書寫過後續，當然內容現在早已忘記了。
看小說這種狀態會讓人有一種回到學生的感覺，很久沒有地，真好，it's wonderful.

我同事Susan很勇敢，明知道我只拍黑白照，還敢找我去拍她的婚宴。用Leica M拍瞬息萬變的現場真是刺激，手動對焦、手動測光、還沒有閃光燈。現場光線很暗，開到最大光圈，快門往往不到1/4秒，另一個同事看我實在拍得辛苦，從口袋裡掏出一顆鏡頭說：「試試這個吧。」，我一看，靠，Noctilux.....！而且還是第一代雙非球面的絕版品（年份：1966-1976）。
婚宴現場，某方面來說跟記者會場很像，只不過現在不必再跑那種場合了。

▲ Mid-Autumn party in the new house, TAIPEI, OCT 3, 2009.
This was the first time that my parents and relatives had a mid-autumn party in my new house. It was also the first time that I took pictures for my family. The place was on the roof. It's a good place. My uncles, aunts and their children came together. It reminded me of some old things. I felt a little bit down.
At that night, I developed the film by myself.

It was lucky that Yin, daughter of my aunt, birthday was the same day. We celebrated her 24th birthday. She majored in piano and graduated from music college last year. Now works for music institute. I have never listened to her play. Her mom told me something about her current job. It sounds that music career is not a smooth road. Hope she has a bright future.

Am Ende stehen wir zwei2009-10-06T03:14:06+08:002009-10-06T03:14:06+08:00tag:blog.roodo.com,2009://14689.102181932009-10-06T00:51:47+08:00http://blog.roodo.com/citta/Photo Stream．影像日記
當年紀越來越長的時候，才會發覺自己可以依賴的人事物越來越少，算一算，不過就是一把尼龍弦吉他、一把大提琴、以及一台徠卡相機。
It's not smooth for me since new members joined this group in early August. Here comes three people to our dept.. It looks like nothing else but in fact the amount is more than half. I was surprised that my admirable ex-colleague quitted her 10+ years job just because she would like to take a rest. Her official statement to us was for her parents. But I know that was not the real reason. I suspect that my ex-leader and I advised her on career plan several months ago. It may cause her much thought. And after a while she really did it.
I, (or I should say my fortune), fell into deep valley after that. It does not mean she and I have some relation. Actually I do not think she played a important role here. But it seems that I got a huge mistake. The most important thing in work is personality, not ability. I finally know that. So I need to jump over trouble water.
A nice friend told me a interesting job tonight. The candidate must be required to have business trips to Latin America. It sounds good for me. I have no concern. As I said at first, when getting older, I finally discover the truth. Only a nylon guitar, a cello and a Leica camera accompany me. It seems not to be important for others. Maybe. Am Ende stehen wir zwei.
