Decreation

2026諾貝爾文學獎得主：安卡森《消融》（Decreation）
以詩、歌劇、電影與散文，探索自我的消融

「在世人記憶所及的時代裡，沒有哪位詩人曾出版過如此引人入勝的材料集結。」——《經濟學人》

西蒙・韋伊曾以「消融」（decreation）形容「拆解我們內在的受造者」——也就是讓自我逐漸消融。在睽違五年後推出的首部作品集裡，安・卡森以一貫耀眼的才華，帶領讀者穿梭於豐富而迷人的典故之間：從阿芙蘿黛蒂到安東尼奧尼，從德摩斯梯尼到安妮・迪勒，從忒勒馬科斯到托洛茨基。她運用的形式同樣多變，包括歌劇劇本、電影劇本、詩、神劇、散文、分鏡表與狂喜之作。
隨著寫作在這些形式間展開，卡森也逐步拆解形式本身；而在拆解之中，她試圖穿越自我，直抵自我的消解。

「冷靜、堅定、聰慧而優美……過去二十年間，卡森已成為一位探索未知的先知。」——《村聲》

"One of the most interesting gatherings of material that any poet has published within living memory." --The Economist

Simone Weil described “decreation” as “undoing the creature in us” -- an undoing of self. In her first collection in five years, Anne Carson explores this idea with characteristic brilliance and a tantalizing range of reference, moving from Aphrodite to Antonioni, Demosthenes to Annie Dillard, Telemachos to Trotsky, and writing in forms as varied as opera libretto, screenplay, poem, oratorio, essay, shot list, and rapture. As she makes her way through these forms she slowly dismantles them, and in doing so seeks to move through the self, to its undoing.

"Cool, resolute, smart, and lovely.... Carson has emerged in the last two decades as a kind of prophet of the unknowable." --The Village Voice
