一個沒有被愛的愛情故事, 好評推薦(依中文字首筆劃排序)
那樣,還算是愛情故事嗎?
《1993》、《1993增訂版》、《我討厭我自己》
「詩人有能力寫出好看的小說嗎?
潘柏霖不僅證明他可以,而且還用整部小說建構了一個詩境。
在愛之中受傷,在愛之中厭棄,在愛之中沉痛地思考。
然後,領悟些什麼。」--厭世哲學家
「因為能蛀壞一切,時間才同時擁有最重要的意義:證明愛存在。
讀潘柏霖的詩集常有這種感觸,讀他的小說也是。
這不是一本情節多獵奇、曲折的小說,甚至很簡單,
「作者無疑具有奇異的能力,
使用了某種既神秘又暴力的魔法,
溫柔地安慰了我們心中的少女少年。」--詩人 徐珮芬
我愛上了一個男孩。
只需一眼,就足夠讓我墜入愛河,並且幾乎溺斃的男孩。
一個微笑,就能把我染成粉紅,讓世界閃閃發光的男孩。
男孩翩然現身,輕易地在我的心土插了旗,從此永保一席之地。
所以,我想和你說一個故事。
一個不怎麼輝煌,很普通、很丟臉、很一般的故事。
一個我終於發現,自己是不需要那樣努力,
一個我愛上了的、我以為也那麼愛我的男孩,試著去愛我的故事。
一個你知道後,也不保證就會被愛的故事。
「多數人經歷過一堆爛事,都還是能找到善待他人的方式,
你難道以為只有你在害怕嗎?」
■精采內容摘錄■
相遇的方式是如此重要,它決定了為什麼你愛的是蘋果,而非鳳梨。
而這事件,「一個人,出現在你面前」的整個事件,是單向的。
只保證了你對一個人,多出來的那麼多的愛,是如何穩固下來。
並不保證,你會被愛。
※
如果你不屬於那個相互愛著的人之一,你便永遠無法與之同日而語。
戀人們和你,並不在同個時空。
然而,要記得,戀人們不是故意的。
他們只是不愛你罷了。
※
人生就是不斷思考進而陷入更深的困惑,
事實上,多數時候找到答案也是沒有用的,因為你只會更加惶恐。
你知道答案,但你無法解決,那就像某種無解之病。
但「知道進而理解」本身就具有某種安慰人心(至少是安慰我心)
※
儘管是真的受了傷,我依然認為人是可以彼此真誠以待的。
人是有容錯的可能,以及人是可以真正替他人著想的,
人是應該有能夠受傷的自覺,並且願意被他人傷害的。
那不代表受傷是好的,那只是代表:你很重要,即使被你傷害,
