10 Gifts for a Birthday (2005)

給生日的十件禮物

1.Happy Birthday of Death 祝死亡生日快樂
Gregory Corso 格雷戈里.柯索

Or yesterday when I heard a sad song
I stopped to hear and wept

或者昨天當我聽到一首悲傷的歌
我流著淚關掉唱機

(羅池 譯)







2.The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories 牡蠣男孩憂鬱之死

Tim Burton 提姆.波頓

It wasn't human at all,it was a robot boy!
He wasn't warm and cuddly
and he didn't have skin...
he just lay there and stared,not living or dead.

它根本不是個人,它是個機器男孩!
他不溫暖,也不讓人想抱他
而他根本沒有皮膚…
他就是躺在那裡瞪著眼,
分不清是活著還是死了。

(摘自Robot Boy機器男孩)


3.Existential Psychotherapy: Death, Freedom, Isolation, Meaninglessness
存在心理治療:死亡、自由、孤獨、無意義

Irvin D. Yalom 歐文.亞隆

最害怕死亡的人正是沒有好好活著的人
學會好好活著,就能學會好好死去;反過來說,學會好好死去,也才能學會好好活著。

(易之新 譯)


4.Negotiating with the Dead 與死者協商
Margaret Atwood 瑪格莉特.愛特伍

在那一刻,時間停止並無限延伸

(嚴韻 譯)

5.La mort et l'Occident de 1300 a nos jours 死亡文化史
Michel Vovelle 米謝.沃維爾

當生命消失在憂慮的漩渦中時,令人難以置信的是只有一件事無可置疑,那就是死。

(高凌瀚、蔡錦濤 譯)


6.Please Kill Me
the Uncensored Oral History of Punk
請殺了我
龐克的無責任口述歷史
Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain

In jail, a punk is somebody that they knock down and make their girlfriend. You know, 'I'm gonna make you my punk'- and that kind of talk could get you killed, right?

在監獄裡,punk就是他們打倒當成女友的人。你知道,「我要你當我的punk」-講這種話你可能會被殺死,對吧?



7.人間失格
太宰 治 Dazai Osamu

ただ、一さいは過ぎて行きます。
自分はことし、二十七になります。白髪がめっきりふえたので、たいていの人から、四十以上に見られます。

不錯,一切都會過去。
我今年二十七歲。白髮更多了,一般人看來已經像四十多歲了。

(李永熾 譯)




8.Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time
梅湘:末日四重奏


梅湘在集中營裡寫完這首曲子,
他的5000名獄友就是首演觀眾。
「從來沒有,」他回憶道,
「獲得這麼全神貫注的注意力和高度理解。」






9.Wilco: A Ghost is Born
威爾可:惡魔誕生


I'm an ocean
and this emotion
slow motion, slow motion

(摘自Theologians歌詞)







10.任何一部大衛林區的電影
Whatever films by David Lynch

「"That," Rand says, "is what's inside the Nightmare Box."
It's something that goes beyond lif-after-death. What's in the box is proof that what we call life isn't. Our world is a dream. Infinitely fake. A nightmare.」

─Haunted p.222 The Nightmare Box, Chuck Palahniuk

其實讀完妳的文章後最先竄進腦袋的是Dylan Thomas「And Death Shall Have No Dominion」,不過最近正在讀Haunted,其中這一段害得我半夜發惡夢自己嚇醒自己卻完全記不得夢境內容......哈哈,抱歉啦,實在不是什麼恰當的生日獻禮吼?Happy Birthday!:)

Helena Blues 海藍吶 said...

哎呀真是好禮好禮!於是驚駭得合不攏嘴地收下啦!(該書精裝版封面頗符合在下得知生日後新年齡之反應)

說到Palahniuk,才剛看到他的Lullaby中文版熱乎乎上市哩,鬥陣俱樂部迷們快上前廝殺搶閱吧!
