如此時代,怎樣作家?

作者不是一個穩定單元的身份,「作家」更是由許多不同單位介入、而集體塑造出來的一種想像中的形象。如此時代,大眾傳媒、出版社、文化評論人以至整體社會,如何看待「作家」這身分?作家又如何

本週斑駁日常

本週斑駁日常追趕時事,於是貼在這裡。星期六(即今日)的照片裡,是我和謝某未經約定而同款的timberland拖鞋。在捍衛學術及創作自由集會裡,二人也未經約定穿上一樣的鞋子。

無情

做人其實也要公平一點。

總不能認為我最專一只有男人辜負我。

例子。

我掛斷來電埋怨男人無情時。

我在做甚麼。

我在dating。

這裡住不得了

忙得要死。一天都伏在電腦前面,打了近三十個電話。儘量控制情緒,但看了星期日明報送審的事(東方可恥報導 ),滿心響起《紅樓夢》裡黛玉崩潰的對白: 黛玉聽了,大叫一聲道:『這裡住不得了。』一手指著窗外

Determining what superclass supplies a method in Python

It would be nice if the objects returned by super() directly exposed away of determining this. Unfortunately they do not, and they don't evendirectly expose what the next superclass is, although given a super object you


餘香滿口

廖偉棠 在「廢墟之花」裡讀了一首新作〈左派夜爭〉,裡面有一句實在可愛:

滿天擊掌像柳絮辯經

這樣不精緻,那麼強烈的現代電影感,像極了典故,實際卻不是。戰爭不斷、甩碌頻仍、積稿如山卻不斷昏睡,這句詩還是時常在
