88本書的國家心路歷程
(這是我對台灣文壇50年的總答覆。原文很長,只摘要其中三分之一。)
(略)
思想和情感交織出品味。傳統文學還在雅字中浸淫,引經據典。馬克吐溫用最簡白的少年語彙,和既生動又無厘頭,充滿想像力的鬼心思,創造新的文學語言風格。文學審美的新里程碑。
「第一位真正的美國作家,我們都是繼承他而來。」威廉福克納說。福克納是1949年諾貝爾文學獎得主。
「所有的美國文學,都來自馬克吐溫的哈克貝利芬恩的冒險。」海明威說。海明威是1954年的諾貝爾文學獎得主。
史坦貝克在「俄羅斯紀行」A Russian Journal中說,美國和英國的優秀作家是社會的監督者,批判者,質疑者。「這正是美國社會和政府都不怎麼喜歡作家的理由。」幽自己和美國一默。史坦貝克是1962年的諾貝爾文學獎得主。
美國文學名著幾乎都充滿強烈的社會批判。
1850年,霍桑Nathaniel Hawthorne的「紅字」The Scarlet Letter,像用強力水柱洗臉波士頓Boston。這是個當年集美國光榮於一身的城市,也是歐洲移民夢想建立的許諾之城。
1852年,史托夫人Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe的「湯姆叔叔的小木屋」Uncle Tom's Cabin,或譯「黑奴籲天錄」,敘述黑奴的悲慘生活和命運,被譽為「替美國南北戰爭鋪設好舞台」。1854年,梭羅Henry David Thoreau的「瓦爾登或林中生活」Walden; or Life in the Woods,拒絕繳人頭稅的三十幾歲青年男子的「公民不服從」,反都市,反政府,反奴隸制度。
1926年,費茲傑羅Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald的「大亨小傳」The Great Gatsby。犯罪致富的大亨費盡心思,奢華營造,想重拾早年的愛情美夢,終不可得。一場豪華,虛偽,墮落的夢碎。批判美國東部腐敗的都市價值。
1929年,福克納的「喧鬧和憤怒」The Sound and the fury,控訴黑人受歧視。
1940年,海明威的「鐘為誰響」For Whom the Bell Tolls,呈現戰爭的荒謬。
1951年,沙林傑Jerome David Salinger的「麥田的守望者」The Catcher in the Rye。男主角霍登被退學的故事,批判教育的教條和守舊。
1957年,傑克凱羅亞克Jack Kerouac 的「在路上」On the Road。幾個美國年輕人,橫貫美國東西部,自由自在做各自想做的事,反傳統價值。美國「垮掉的一代」,嬉皮運動的經典代表作。
1960年,哈波李Harper Lee的「殺了一隻仿聲鳥」To Kill a Mockingbird,美國南方小城的種族歧視,塑造一位反歧視的公正白人英雄。
「麥田的守望者」台灣譯為「麥田捕手」,好像是在麥田苦練棒球。「告別武器」A farewell to Arms,譯成「戰地春夢」。海明威鮮明的反戰意識和直白風格,竟宛如文藝小說。「瓦爾登-林中生活」強調簡單simplicity,回歸自然。把「公民不服從」的梭羅,譯成「湖濱散記」的優雅修飾風格。跨文化的風格謀殺。
「信雅達」的翻譯準則早就過時。現代小說充滿常民思想,情感和語言。俚語,髒話,口頭禪都有。雅則不信,雅則難達,信達已足。該雅則雅,該俗則俗。
殖民地的統治者鼓勵人民拼經濟,思想和品味跟著母國走。文學是表達思想和情感的技術和藝術。風雅是殖民地統治者,謀殺殖民地人民思想和情感的招數。
殖民地時代的文學價值,貴重在反抗統治體制。潘恩的「常識」稱英國和歐洲的貴族是「一種從腐敗社會生長出來的霉菌」。「先烈的熱血和天理之聲在召喚,獨立的時刻到了。」「常識」成為美國獨立革命的聖經。華盛頓深受震動。民間和軍中都在讀。識字的讀給不識字的聽,長官對著部隊朗誦。
「紅樓夢」是中國在大清帝國殖民時期臣服的經典顛峰。殖民風的舊文學價值和品味已在中國終結,卻在台灣成為文學主流的傳承。從文學就可洞悉台灣的殖民地本質。殖民地的品味和性格,就是風雅和馴服。
批判是現代文學的核心價值,帶來獨立思考和反省。批判是起點,原創是核心。原創就是對傳統批判的最具體表現。批判和創新同時進行。
跨領域和跨界的緊密結合,從二十世紀下半葉就開始,已是二十一世紀美國文學主流。小說和非小說,虛構和非虛構的傳統界線已被打破。非虛構小說中充滿真人真事的成分,以及科學和歷史等知識。創造性非虛構Creative Nonfiction或稱文學性非虛構Literary Nonfiction,使用文學性的風格和技巧表現知識,閱讀趣味像在讀小說。
文學之旅就是國家心路歷程。人生不是朝露,人生從母親最勇敢的那一天開始。

I attended Child law lectures to understand the plight of children and what was being done legally about it in Malaysia better with Tuan Syed Azmi.
One of the things we learnt was about Restorative Justice. Coincidently, I was just reading the book this afternoon to refresh my mind on the notes taken.
Please read Azmi’s take on this.
I knew he was back for sure at around 3 years ago.
One of the thing that i have to accept is that he is back.
I have requested MCMC to use his skills to find other similar interest like him, but my request was denied. I accept.
Now it really depend on which perspectives are we going to see him.
As a child advocate, of course i am afraid of him to be able to be close to any children.
I am sure his name is in eDKK e-daftar Kanak-kanak, sex offenders list. Now even the government let any employer to check at JKM of anyone who works with children to be screen this way for free.
What is clear-
He cannot be around children.
He cannot have access to children image material on line- how can we stop that even.
He cannot interact with children online- even through games.
I am afraid. But i know that i don't hate him as a person, i hate his actions.
Then i took child law. I take this seriously.
The law that i am learning taught me about protecting victims and bringing justice.
In my experience of protecting children. Most children wish not to be hurt, the actions to stop. Even when i write this, the actions although from pornographic material to grooming to sexual assault and rape are different in nature, we cannot deny the hurt and trauma to every child is different too.
I am not saying having child porn is considered mild, no no no. If it hurts a child, you cannot out a degree to that.
But during law, i also learn about Restorative Justice. It is not about to forgive or forget but more to restore back the individual so that he could be part of the society again and the victims participation is important for the perpetrator to understand and take responsibility of his mistakes.
It is not for all crimes and takes careful research.
Clearly it sounds like Second Chance.
But reading comments, i sense Malaysians are not ready to accept him back.
But do they want him to die?
And lets say victims have the choice to castrated him, will that be the closure needed?
Then i wonder can we wirk back on restorative justice.
Maybe not for his case.
I have a huge respect for children who are abuse because of what they have been through and we never talked about to forgive the perpetrator because that right is only to the victim and at their own time.
My role, the act of abuse must stop.
Back to our Math Genius.
What about his right?
Or do we believe he has no right?
Honestly for how many years pun, i hope he could never work with children or be near one. If he abide to that at least i know he tries.
I don't have the liberty to know what is our countrys ability to monitor his online activity so i cannot comment on that.
Yes people or parents have the right to prevent him to be around the area etc i agree.
But to voice out to say "He Will Hurt Your Kids" out loud and to invoke scare in public has a better method than scare tactics. Seriously.
Might as well hang a scarlet letter around his neck eh?
Trust me, even with that i dont think society will be ok. Clearly they want to see someone die.
Is that what you want to do go ahead your way. I cannot condone that.
I rather we focus more lobbying for children in Malaysia to be protected.
But noo, people love punitive actions to others because it feels good, satisfied, safe?
If i can pledge i would say lets focus back to Childs Right, Children's safety and better treatment to children.
To the said person: i am not letting you off the hook, but respect my boundaries not to be near a child. Online or offline.
Just my opinion.

In 2018, I will post more book reviews!
To all bookworms out there, stay tuned! <3
I am ready glad to see that a lot of people share the love for books with me 😍 Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies since I was really young. In the summer holiday, my family and I would spend time at my grandma's house in the south and I would read and read all day, always having a book by my side. I would go to my cousin's house to borrow her books and enjoyed my time there.
During the school year, the library had been my favorite place to be, but my school didn't really have that many interesting books. I borrowed from my friends and cousins. I read fictions online. I started reading online articles and went on websites to find out more information about things I was interested in. Things like Harry Potter, lyrics meaning, and Avril Lavigne.
When I went to America for the first time at the age of 16, I was absolutely awestruck to see how big the school library was. The local library was amazing too. I borrowed so many fictions to read during that year. My host family also bought some books for me. I think that was around the time I actually started reading fictions in English. My reading speed improved significantly that year. I gave up using the dictionary and decided to just go with flow, trying to understand words according to the context. That year I finished reading the Twilight series and Percy Jackson. I read many more books for classes, including some classics like The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, and The Scarlet Letter. It was a challenging year, but I plowed through.
Now, many years later, my love for books still remains. But I don't need to borrow from anyone anymore. Now I work hard and save money so that I can buy all the books I would like to read. I am happy and proud that I can do that. They say that money can't by happiness, but it sure can buy you things that make you happy.
Now I read not only for my own happiness. I read to share. I read to reflect. I read to discuss. I read to connect. I read to grow as a person. And I read to show others that they too can do it.
I read to learn more about the world and about myself, one page at a time.
