6短編が収められた作品集。
著者は日本人で2人目のノーベル文学賞受賞者なのだな。
江藤淳氏の巻末の解説によると、「死者の奢り」は著者の文壇的最初の作品で、「飼育」では芥川賞を受賞したらしい。
これらの作品を通じての一貫した主題は、”監禁されている状態、閉ざされた壁のなかに生きる状態を考えること”であったという。
本書に登場する死体処理室、療養所、外国兵という要素はそのような状態を表していたのだろうか。
死者の奢りは、死体洗いのアルバイトという噂のもとになったという話をどこかで見たことがある。
実際のところ、この仕事は存在しないんだっけか。
ということは、著者は自らの想像力でリアリティがある作品を構築したわけで。
作者の想像力の豊かさを僕は本書から感じたな。
この前読んだ本According to、筆者は寓意や象徴性を織り込んだ幻想的なイメージをリアルな描写の中に挿入するという独特な手法を持っているみたい。
また解説には、大江氏の文体が論理的な骨格と動的なうねりをもつ新しいものだとも書かれていた。
そう言われればたしかにそういうものかという気がする。
論理的でないと作品がリアルっぽくないだろうし。
波のようなうねりも文章から感じるような~

- The Life of Kappa and Ora-Akuma 芥川 龍之介 (Written by) Shinchosha (Publishing House) / 新潮文庫 1968年12月15日 (Release date) Bunko (Format) 本巻には表題の短編「河童」が収められている。 「河童」は次のように始まる。 これは或精神病院の患者、第二十三号が誰にでもしゃべる話である。 (p.66) ある男が河童の国へ行ってきたというのだ。 But、その男は今は正気を疑われて精神病院に入院している。 僕は本当に河童の国があったのかもと思って読んでいたが、終盤になると、河童の友達が持って来てくれたという黒百合の花束が存在しなかったり、電話帳を河童の国で出版された詩集だと言ったりと、状況が怪しくなってくる。 やっぱり河童の国なんてものはなく、この男は精神を病んでいたのだろう。 ファンタジーを現実と錯覚させるかのような不思議な魅力のある小説だった。 However,、このような小説を書くなんて著者の芥川龍之介も病んでいたんだなぁ。 昔は今みたいにいい薬もなかっただろうし、病気になると大変だっただろう。 著者は1927年に亡くなったとのことで、約90年前か。 現代社会では何かと精神が疲れることが多いが、昔から同じようなことはあったんだなと感じた。
