The Train 《灰掐》

Description 作品介紹

A surreal journey where train carriages decouple and reconnect, passengers are lost and found, leaving only the protagonist waiting endlessly between nowhere and somewhere. Chihoi's dreamlike visual narrative draws inspiration from the award-winning short story "Wooden Horse" by Taiwanese writer and poet Hung Hung, creating an extraordinary dialogue between text and image.

超現實的旅程中，火車車廂分離又重新連結，乘客迷失又重新尋得，只留下主人公在虛無與實在之間無盡等待。智海夢幻般的視覺敘事取材自台灣作家詩人鴻鴻的得獎短篇小說《木馬》，創造出文字與圖像間的非凡對話。

The Train combines Hung Hung's magical realist novella "Wooden Horse" (1998 China Times Literary Award winner) with Chihoi's comic adaptation "The Train" (2007). The two creators' works follow different circuits that intersect and spark extraordinary illumination. This unique publication presents both works in opposite reading directions within a single volume.

《灰掐》結合鴻鴻的魔幻現實主義小說《木馬》（1998年時報文學獎得主）與智海的漫畫改編《火車》（2007年）。兩位創作者的作品循著不同迴路交匯，擦出奇異電光。這本獨特的出版品在同一本書中以相反的閱讀方向呈現兩部作品。
