The Soul Catchers

內容簡介

內容簡介 日本現代文學經典繼吉本芭娜娜、《在咖啡冷掉之前》作者川口俊和後，又一觸動人心、風格獨具的文學瑰寶。如果死後能再次回到人間守護摯愛，你願意化身為何物？是一個珍藏的馬克杯、母親的助聽器、一本日記，還是公園裡的攀爬架，只為再次感受心愛的妹妹在上面攀爬時的肢體觸感？十一名剛跨越生死邊界的靈魂，發現自己正漂浮在來世。在那裡，一位無名的使者給了他們與摯愛重逢的機會——然而，重逢的方式卻與你想像的大相徑庭。在這個靈魂因眷戀而不願離去、在世間徘徊守望的世界裡，《靈魂捕捉者》（The Soul Catchers）對日本民間信仰中「器物皆有靈」的概念進行了溫馨、幽默且極具感官渲染力的詮釋。這部東直子的經典之作既迷人又療癒，以獨創的視角，細膩探索了人類內心深處那份對離別永恆的執著與不捨。A JAPANESE MODERN CLASSICDiscover the original and moving literary gem for fans of Banana Yoshimoto and Kawaguchi's BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLDWhat if you could come back after death to watch over your loved one, installing yourself in a treasured mug, for example, or perhaps your mother's hearing aid, a diary, or even a climbing frame, to feel the clambering limbs of a beloved sister?Eleven recently deceased protagonists find themselves floating in the afterlife where a nameless ghost offers them a joyous reunion with their loved ones.But not as you would expect.In a world where souls linger restlessly around after death, unwilling to depart, The Soul Catchers is a comforting, witty, and surprisingly sensual take on the Japanese folk belief that objects can be inhabited by human presences. Utterly charming and feelgood, Higashi's classic is an original exploration of our eternal reluctance to let go.
