A DIFFERENT JOURNEY 原來世界這樣大


I love reading travelogues, as it offers me rooms for imagination in my mundane life. Nonetheless, when I read “Reflection, Reflections”, a new book written by Winifred Lai, my feeling is quite different. The book is about her journey to Peru and Bolivia, a region of Magical Realism. The journey is so unique as she experienced a number of surprising actions and situations beyond her imagination. As a reader, I am greatly inspired by her ideas, and also admire her courage of disclosing her true self to all of us through words.

素來愛讀遊記,因為書本可為平板的生活闢出無限的想像空間。但讀着黎堅惠最新著作《天空之鏡》,我的感覺卻跟以往截然不同。《天空之鏡》講述黎堅惠的南美之旅,但它卻絕非一般的旅程,反之卻牽涉生存意義、人與自然的微妙關係等深奧議題。作者在書中近乎裸裎自身的把自己所思所想,甚至是一路走來的經歷統統化成文字。作為讀者,我受她的文字啟發之餘,也佩服於她的勇氣。
