100本中只有22本有中譯啊@@

另外,『碧盧冤孽』怎麼會在榜上呢???
Posted by Fran at October 2,2008 18:41
噯呀!
博客來的功課沒有做得很好哦。

第7本:"The Well Of Lonliness",有中文版,書名是:《寂寞之井》。
這本書很有名的呢!

可點我的名字去看連結。

* 等我有空(週末?),我再來把名單做完整的檢查!
Posted by Fran at October 2,2008 20:00
你好!好像沒有川端康成的"美麗與哀愁"?(ps.今天首次到訪,不得不說:你的blog棒極了!)
Posted by sheungOr at October 3,2008 00:48
(又是我這個陌生人)想了一會,決定再補上這條留言:其實我今天因別人的推介,來到你的blog看關於你對tlw的總結和分析(約寫於今年5月),然後把那以後的帖文都大概看了,除了覺得很有深度和思考性,令我眼前一亮的是:最近你提及"未來世界人類無性繁殖"的幻想,因為我較早前剛好寫了一篇這題材的小說,實在太巧合了...難道lez對理想國都有大同小異的幻想?
Posted by sheungOr at October 3,2008 01:03
"Kiss Of The Spider Woman"(蜘蛛女之吻)我有音樂劇的原聲帶....
"Little Women" 小婦人喔~
Posted by Yiling at October 3,2008 09:15
Yiling,

我只知道"Kiss Of The Spider Woman"(蜘蛛女之吻)有拍成電影,是否與變成舞台劇,我就不知道了。

"Little Women"??
這句話是什麼意思呢?
Posted by Fran at October 4,2008 20:51
sheungOr,

您好!也很高興認識你。
不知道妳說川端康成的"美麗與哀愁",是指什麼意思呢?

今年5月的時候,我也不知道自己怎麼了,莫名其妙喜歡TLW,我其實之前就看過前幾季,但一直不喜歡,怎麼知道第5季會........
唉.......
Posted by Fran at October 4,2008 20:54
你好!我只是奇怪:在一百大的LGBT小說中,怎麼好像沒有川端康成的"美麗與哀愁"這篇小說?裏面連三島由紀夫的"禁色"也有,而川端康成也非無名之輩,我在想是不是我看漏了眼? "美麗與哀愁"說的是兩個lez與舊男情人之間的故事,非常有意思的!
Posted by sheungOr at October 5,2008 01:16
sheungOr ,

原來如此啊...

老實說,我還沒仔細看這份百大的名單,因為手上一直有很多雜事要處理@@
Posted by Fran at October 5,2008 15:21
月底有一部電影『慾望莊園』會上映,裡面有我很喜歡很喜歡的Emma Thompson ......
不過,那倒還不是重點,重點是:
『慾望莊園』改編自排名第19的"Brideshead Revisited"。

這份百大名單很有意思,很多都被改編成電影或影集。
例如第一的Death In Venice,就是電影『魂斷威尼斯』。

不過,我比較驚訝的是E. M. Foster的"Maurice",原來電影版是由Hugh Grant主演,我從不知道Hugh Grant演過同志!
Posted by Fran at October 7,2008 12:18
謝謝推薦,看了你的介紹,再從網上看了death in venice的資料,確實很吸引呢!決定看看這齣經典電影。
Posted by sheungOr at October 7,2008 12:57
真的吔!『慾望莊園』在31日要上映了.
希望它不是限制級的電影,
我可不想再有像去年看『查泰萊夫人』時,
先後被影城人員盤問兩次的出糗遭遇..
Posted by FC at October 20,2008 11:33
FC,

看來妳很年輕呢。
這不是壞事啊,最起碼可以拿來說嘴。
Posted by Fran at October 20,2008 15:12
哈哈!
是『看』來年輕而已,其實一點也不然。
應該不小於妳吧!我倒希望能有張成熟的臉,
才能免去很多令人哭笑不得的尷尬。

倒是,我再也不買熱狗進場看電影了,
尤其,經過『查泰萊夫人』超級限制級的震撼後..
Posted by FC at October 20,2008 19:06
FC,

不小於我麼?
我很好奇妳從何判斷...

我很討厭吃熱狗,而且,事實上,有意思的是,我也很少見到成熟女性在公開場合吃熱狗。
說來奇怪,但我總覺得熱狗應該是小男孩吃的。
倒是,我還是懷念看電影可以吃烤玉米的年代,呵呵。
Posted by Fran at October 21,2008 10:37
嗯..我想,妳應是尚未畢業的碩博士生,
正常年紀就大約在22-30歲間。又,聰明如妳,
不可能是萬年學生,自然落在此區間機率大增,
除非妳是天才兒童,20歲前就大學畢業了,
或是唸博士班已超過五年..
Sorry,無意探人隱私,別介意啊!

呵呵,我也很愛吃烤玉米,真是人間極品呢!
小時候常吃,現在倒是很少見,而且還很貴。

我並無偏愛熱狗,因為趕時間,胡亂買了東西就進場。
反正我看來不成熟,又是獨自前往,早就不計形象了。
只是那天是我的生日,意外給了自己一次難忘的經驗,
吃不下熱狗,餓著肚子看完電影..
所以,下個月的生日要謹慎啊!

等等,我也很好奇,為何妳會認為我是女性?
Posted by FC at October 21,2008 17:25
FC,

我為什麼誤會你是女性?
老實說,我也已經不記得了。

倒是,我記得你曾經提過不參加同志遊行的理由.....所以,我想,我可能因此誤會你是同志。
不過,再之後的你的留言,我想,你應該不會是同志才對。因為你和同志的認知相差太遠了。
--- 你的意識型態太過右翼,不太可能會是同志。

至於我的年紀......
該怎麼說呢?
首先,我從來不以為我是聰明的人,不過,我覺得我蠻努力的。
--- 我想,可能只有天才才有資格說聰明就足以決定一切吧?

其次,你很顯然以為「人生順遂」等於「為人聰明」。可是,這是很不同的兩件事。
一個很聰明的人也很可能有很不順遂的人生,不是嗎?

所以?
哈哈,你沒有太猜錯我的年紀,但確實不對。
如果我的人生要落到你的猜測,那,我必須要一生非常順遂或我本身很聰明才行,而,其實,兩者都不。
Posted by Fran at October 24,2008 23:00
首先,我也不認為「人生順遂」等於「為人聰明」喔。
「人生順遂」的定義範圍太大了,
「為人聰明」不過只是其中一個影響因素而已。
是的,努力是唯一自己能掌握的因子,其他都不是。

其次,我沒有「太」猜錯嗎?
呵呵,好吧!那也相去不遠了。
再說,落在那個很蠢的假設範圍,
就認為人生順遂或是聰明也太早了,那只是剛起步而已。
所以,請不要太在意我的猜測,
沒有人會絕對一生順遂的。
看似樂觀的表面,似乎隱藏悲觀的因子,是嗎?

最後,想再辯駁些什麼,不過還是算了,
這顯然有悖「文學的、政治的、哲學的」的宗旨..

天啊!從小愛吃的孔雀餅乾也中招了?唉..
Posted by FC at October 25,2008 01:31
另,妳沒誤會,我確實是。
但,如果可以,我願選擇中性。
