《空年》分成四集，前後時差多年，以虛構的月份日期交織編彙而成；是空想的縫合日誌，也是空出來的行歷之年。〈前生集〉最早一篇來自2006年，大學時期的作品，一些來自2011年，研究所之後的情感實驗，到近期回望，反饋的絮語；〈空華集〉起先於Instagram週記式的即興拍寫，爾後重新彙整十幾年來存下的照片集結而成；〈今世集〉則是收錄近幾年在部落格零星寫下的文字，是最接近後來狀態的一輯。最後的〈雜想 集〉，原是自己為其他目的而作，無法編成系列，又不捨落下，於是另外成輯。編輯照片與文字的時候一直自我懷疑：這些東西值得被看見嗎，或是留在自己的硬碟裡偶爾點開、自嘲懷念就好。可那些耽溺的字，是不會也不能再寫了。如被封存在琥珀裡的蟲卵，孵不出也死不去；而那些場所、物件的幽靈依然閃爍著意義：聚首和道別，餽贈和紀念；首日的花束與約會，駐村過的每片山海窗景，失焦的日常儀式，偶得的日光良夜⋯⋯它們曾是我的現在（Now and here），也曾是我的一切（Everything and One cut）。

2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言，最重要的長篇代表作之一透過六世輪迴的生命之眼，講述五十年土地情感。「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".佛說：「生死疲勞，從貪欲起，少欲無為，身心自在。」這是一部關於鄉土中國當代史的大敘述。小說以一位土地改革時期被槍斃的地主，不斷經歷著六道輪迴的轉世，由此觀看中國農村土地的變革。《生死疲勞》敘述了一九五○年到二○○○年中國農村五十年的歷史，圍繞土地這個沉重的話題，莫言闡釋了農民與土地的種種關係，並透過生死輪迴的藝術圖像，展示了新中國成立以來中國農民的生活和他們頑強、樂觀、堅韌的精神。在這部大敍述裡，有家族的仇恨，有情欲的糾葛，有驚人的貧困和匱乏帶來的焦慮，有狂熱的理想國追求的幻滅和失落，有新的市場化之下鄉土中國的新希望、困擾和挑戰…… 這是一部向中國古典小說和民間敍事致敬的重要著作。莫言以「章回體」的形式，將六道輪迴這一東方意象融涵在全書的字裡行間，寫出了中國農民對生命無比執著的頌歌和悲歌。全書將中國人龐雜喧譁的苦難經驗化為純美準確的詩篇，莊嚴而寧靜，祥和而自然。/《生死疲勞》：以「動物之眼」講述五十年鄉村史 小說的敘述者，是土地改革時被槍斃的一個地主，他認為自己雖有財富，並無罪惡，因此在陰間裡他為自己喊冤。在小說中他不斷地經歷著六道輪迴，一世為人、一世為馬、一世為牛、一世為驢……每次轉世為不同的動物，都未離開他的家族，離開這塊土地。小說正是通過他的眼睛，準確說，是各種動物的眼睛來觀察和體味中國農村的變革。 莫言親自解讀：鄉村人物的個性價值 ．寫作速度創紀錄。莫言只用43天寫就長達55萬字的《生死疲勞》。最多一天寫作1.65萬字，平均一天只睡三小時，突破了他自己寫作速度的最高紀錄，自稱睡覺時也有一半的腦細胞在工作，有的夢也變成現實。 ．書名《生死疲勞》來自佛經中的一句：「生死疲勞，從貪欲起，少欲無為，身心自在。」莫言說，佛教認為人生最高境界是成佛，只有成佛才能擺脫令人痛苦的六道輪迴，而人因有貪欲則很難與命運抗爭。 ．以人物的

學術界自十九世紀末以日本及西方範式對漢傳佛教之研究以來，當中一個論述就是指漢傳佛教有各個宗派之創立，而其中的淨土宗乃是一種純他力信仰。然而，當代學者卻在方法論上提出應以漢傳佛教之範式，對漢傳佛教和淨土法門重建出更有根據之新論。本書之英文原著A Chinese Paradigm of the Jingtu Famen: The Buddhist Thought and Practice of Sheng'an Shixian and Other Patriarchs以該新範式仔細研究清初淨土祖師省庵實賢（1686-1734）及眾祖師之論註，闡明漢傳佛教不曾發展出各個宗派之另一論述，並重塑出淨土法門乃是一種根植於大乘佛教中觀和瑜伽行以自他二力方便法門來修持智慧及慈悲之禪修傳統。該原著乃是作者將其博士論文重新增補修訂後，於2023年經荷蘭博睿（Brill）出版的專書，現由作者翻譯成本譯著。
