*獲得法國島嶼文學獎小說獎(Prix du Livre Insulaire)、入選德國柏林影展Books at Berlinale(Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival)、日本星雲獎(Seiun Awards Nominees)海外長編部門候補的《複眼人》,入圍英國曼布克國際獎(Man Booker International Prize)長書單的《單車失竊記》後,吳明益最新長篇小說。我們到達的是曾經離開的,我們失去的就是我們想追求的。追逐白狗的太魯閣族少年、不願被父親賣掉而逃家的漢人少女,各自從不同的村落進入了洞穴裡——他們並不知道,自己進入的是巨人的「內底」(lāi-tué)。一隻遭捕獸夾鉗斷腳掌的食蟹獴,在命懸一線之際躲到了巨人的眼睫毛底下而逐漸痊癒。倖存的三隻腳食蟹獴,穿梭在巨人與部落之時,發現了一些祕密。位於島嶼東部群山之中的克尼布(Knibu),也叫海豐村,在這個原住民與漢人、祖靈及上帝各自在不同時間移棲至此的小村落,一個女子牽著稚齡的女兒,站在「海風卡拉OK」的門口;而在村落的另一頭山腰,預備把山鑿出豎井,開採水泥的機具已經架好。在這個兩大板塊、神話與人間、誕生與消亡交界的縱谷村落,因為命運而聚集於此的眾人一隻眼看著山,一隻眼看著海——他們的決定會是什麼呢?吳明益說:「這本小說不是用歷史現場構築的,當然,它的建材如此真實,並非全屬夢境。只是我刻意讓它和現實保持距離,希望讀者享受到小說裡的敘事時空,然後形成自己的想法。」小說的情節、人物、場景或許和真實對應,或許如夢似幻,讓人無法按圖索驥;故事的旅程並不是春夏秋冬,也可能處於不是春天不是夏天不是秋天不是冬天的季節裡。每個人、每件事,每座山,每條溪流與建築,都是一個節點,一個可以摺疊的箭頭,帶著小說中的人,與身為讀者的我們,通往未來與未知的洞穴出口。時隔七年,繼《單車失竊記》後,吳明益為讀者帶來這本長篇小說,當你打開書頁之時,或許對作者而言,也是一個新季節的開始。
