The earlier stories, written at a time when Yeng was known for his modernist poetry, exude solitude and melancholy, and deal with themes such as the wanton rebelliousness of youth, or the poet's shuttling between death and dream. From the 1970s onwards, he turned his attention to societal concerns— depicting a lonely writer who falls in love with one of his own characters, an unhappy man yearning for life abroad who ends up in a mental hospital, an unemployed man who finds joy in his friendship with a white bird, and another, who worries that he might turn into a flower. Other stories introduce us to a parrot who gets taken to court, an ant enamoured with his silhouette, and a disembodied mouth worshipped by the public. Sarcastic, darkly humorous and surreal, Yeng's writing depicts everyday life in all its absurdism and glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe original version of \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNon-existent Lover and other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citybookroom.com\/product-page\/%E4%B8%8D%E5%AD%98%E5%9C%A8%E7%9A%84%E6%83%85%E4%BA%BA-%E8%8B%B1%E5%9F%B9%E5%AE%89\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.citybookroom.com\/product-page\/%E4%B8%8D%E5%AD%98%E5%9C%A8%E7%9A%84%E6%83%85%E4%BA%BA-%E8%8B%B1%E5%9F%B9%E5%AE%89\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e《不存在的情人》\u003c\/a\u003ewas published in 2007. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Book Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42603476320474,"sku":"9789811133855","price":15.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9344\/0730\/products\/131.jpg?v=1649400580"},{"product_id":"jin_ji_zhuang_tai","title":"紧急状态 \/  程异 著；林琬绯、陈思安 译","description":"\u003cp\u003e刘杰森代表新加坡1950年代典型的英校生：名校出身、专注课业、漠视政治，学成后当上公务员。而他偏偏爱上了华校生秀丽。后者怀着改革社会的信念与理想，满腔热血投入抗争运动。福利巴士工潮爆发，让来自截然不同世界的两个青年结成姻缘；可是秀丽却在一次逮捕行动中被迫仓促逃亡，留下丈夫和一对双胞胎初生宝宝。秀丽最终走入森林加入马共游击队，投身反殖斗争。杰森则在秀丽不告而别后带着不解和背叛郁郁过完下半生。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 另一人物是南德，父亲在峇冬加里大屠杀中遇难，他与母亲及村内其他妇孺遭英军连夜迁至新村士毛月，在戒严时代的严格管控和恐惧氛围中长大。南德成年后到吉隆坡当修车厂学徒，大屠杀的阴影与新村的成长经历却让他在大都会中感到迷失疏离。偶然间在一场文娱晚会上与逃到吉隆坡的秀丽相识，深受她的理想所感染，放下对母亲的牵挂，毅然追随秀丽加入马共森林游击队。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 作者程异以温和写实淡定的笔触，透过社会各个典型的平凡小人物的生活、情感与理想，以及人物之间的互动与牵系，情节安排引人入胜，通过多重面向勾勒出新马社会面貌，细致的叙述横跨数十年的时代故事，同时弥合英文教育社群与中文教育社群之间的鸿沟，为中文读者开启新视角。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 程异曾凭长篇小说\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/citybookroom.com\/products\/state-of-emergency-by-jeremy-tiang\" title=\"state of emergency\"\u003e《紧急状态》\u003c\/a\u003e原著 \u003cem\u003eState of Emergency\u003c\/em\u003e 赢得2018\u003cspan\u003e年新加坡文学奖英文小说大奖。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “在我看来，《紧急状态》是一部很具写作者野心的作品 ，它不止想呈现出一个复杂成熟的故事，也不止刻画出一群再难被历史复制的人物，而是试图借由这个故事，努力厘清今日身处亚洲与西方世界、历史与未来的双重交界点，我们如何看待自己的位置。”\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—— \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e陈思安\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “\u003cspan\u003e程异生于七十年代后期，因为不曾身处于轰轰烈烈的新马左翼斗争浪潮中，反而让他更能将视角拉远，从抽离的角度回望这段历史。所以，他的作品里没有歌功颂德的英雄式崇拜，少了悲情与怨愤；宛如一股清流，用极其温和写实淡定的笔触，反倒让历史的伤口借着强烈反差更加直锥人心。\u003c\/span\u003e” \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e——\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e林琬绯\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “通过刻画亲情、爱情、革命，以及社会正义对人物的召唤和为难，整部小说不断为读者创设认同的考验，更迫使对新马有情感牵念的读者自省：倘若被卷入动荡诡谲的时局，自己会如何抉择或自处？面对岛国日益失衡的话语竞逐，我们该怎样在强势的论述中寻找缝隙，打造个人对历史的独立认知与判断？”——曾昭程（新加坡国大中文系助理教授），《历史记忆告急书》\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “这部以大时代、大历史为框架的作品，处处展现出国家、社会与个人之间互为牵动的关系，而其中人物的情感流动，也充份反映了新马两地这半世纪以来的轨迹与面貌，细腻之余，无不蕴含冲突。……主流媒体相继刊登书评，也给予作者相当高的评价，甚至称之为当代探讨‘紧急状态’时期最好的新加坡小说家之一。”——陈丁辉（新马历史学者），《献给土地的青春岁月》\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e作者简介\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e程异 (Jeremy Tiang)，新加坡译者、编剧、小说家，现居纽约。2022\u003cspan\u003e年普林斯顿大学驻校翻译家、国际布克奖评委。\u003c\/span\u003e2018\u003cspan\u003e年凭英文长 篇小说 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eState of Emergency\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003e获新加坡文学奖，\u003c\/span\u003e2016 \u003cspan\u003e年凭 短篇小说集 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt Never Rains On National Day \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e入围新加 坡文学奖决选。他也积极投入文学翻译，译过逾三十部中文 作品，包括英培安、海凡、尤今、张悦然、双雪涛、颜歌、 刘心武、骆以军等作家的小说\u003c\/span\u003e;2023\u003cspan\u003e年英译中国作家邹静之小说作品 《九栋》入围国际布克奖的长名单。近期与\u003c\/span\u003e Kavita Bhanot \u003cspan\u003e博士合编 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eViolent Phenomena: 21 Essays About Translation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e。他的翻译实践延及戏剧，曾英译魏于 嘉、沈琬婷、陈思安等编剧的创作。程异的原创剧作则有双语剧 《\u003c\/span\u003eSalesman\u003cspan\u003e之死》 ，英语剧 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Dream of Red Pavilions\u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cspan\u003e改编自曹雪芹 《红楼梦》\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003cspan\u003e、\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Last Days of Limehouse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e译者简介\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e林琬绯，新闻工作者，也从事翻译。近期译作是《飞虎情缘 ——何永道回忆录》，曾参与建国总理李光耀系列书籍与节 目中译，如《李光耀:\u003cspan\u003e新加坡赖以生存的硬道理》、《李光耀 观天下》等，也是新加坡第二任总理吴作栋两部传记《高难任 务》、《登高望远》译者。出版过个人文集《告别台北·回 家》。 曾任《联合早报》驻台北特派员、报业传讯优频道新闻主播\u003c\/span\u003e;
