【店員嚴選】沒有東西送給你、南方
(點圖即可連結到城邦讀書花園書籍介紹頁面)
文/YH
如果你還不認識這兩隻全世界最感心的阿貓阿狗…
我曾經收過一本書,來自一個朋友。
她是那種總想著要讓朋友不虞匱乏,常常超出了自己能力的去給予身邊朋友所需一切的那種人。於是我們總說「啊!妳給的我們好重。」於是她就會像個受了創傷的孩子覺得全世界都不懂她,覺得她給的一切都不值得了!
那個應該是皆大歡喜的場面總是變得尷尬萬分,而那個禮物就像全天底下最無辜的犧牲者,要是能說得出話肯定會吆呼一聲冤枉啊!直到某天她喜孜孜怯生生的遞給我這本書—「沒有東西」送給你
我翻看著書,跟著奇奇那股傻勁找禮物直到最後一頁…心頭也跟著暖呼呼的!迫不及待的從頭翻看。太愛這份禮物了,簡直是量身為她打造的(而不是為我這個受贈者)。McDonnell筆觸極為簡單,敘事結構卸除多餘的線條,就說那麼一件事情,奇奇根本就像我這位努力要給予朋友,至今想起書裡那極簡又生動的一頁頁故事,嘴角都還是上揚著。對話背後藏著的是巨大的哲思,原來這就是繪本的力量啊!好威、厲害!
「南方」
是我在中山店整理書架時瞥見封面,這不是那隻熟悉的小東西嘛!忍不住放下手邊的事趕緊打開來看看!
同樣極致簡單的敘事,這次它的路途更遠了些,奇奇這次要帶著哭泣的小鳥旅行…這次的故事有點感傷,卻是更大的人生哲學—總有說再見的時候—隨著旅行的最終翻到最後一頁,轉身離去的奇奇好像給予我們力量,從容的面對不過就是如此的離別。
私房推薦「沒有東西」送給你 南方
延伸推薦 尾巴搖搖 就像在天堂
作、繪者:麥當諾(Patrick McDonnell)
1956年出生於紐澤西,拿獎學金就讀紐約的視覺藝術學院,畢業之後即成為一名自由插畫家,在許多知名雜誌上負責專欄或連載漫畫。1994年9月5日,麥當諾的Mutts連環漫畫首度曝光,作品結合了藝術、幽默、哲理的表達,立刻引起廣大迴響,風靡全球喜愛漫畫的讀者,接二連三獲得許多獎項肯定,包括五度拿下「Harvey Award最佳連載漫畫」(1997.1999.2001.2002.2003)、國際卡通協會所頒發的「年度最佳連環漫畫」(1998)、全美漫畫家協會魯班獎(NCS Reuben Award)的「年度風雲漫畫家」(1999);一部連載漫畫能夠持續十多年,至今仍不減風采,其受歡迎的程度自然不言而喻!
不只是Mutts的創作漫畫家,麥當諾也是美國人道協會董事會的一員,獻身於動物保育工作,例如:藉由Mutts的「收容所故事」系列,提升大眾對於流浪動物的關注;經常在全國巡迴的簽書活動會上,舉辦認養寵物活動,幫助當地的流浪動物找到溫暖的家。
麥當諾把創作和生活的熱情合而為一,從每個令人會心的作品裡,我們可以看見幽默溫暖的小啟示,更看見人類和動物之間的情誼和關愛。麥當諾不需要到遠處尋找創作靈感,因為他自己最親愛的寵物──小狗厄爾(Earl)和小貓米喵(Meemow)──總是陪伴在他左右;也許就在他的腳邊,也許在他的工作桌上睡覺呢!麥當諾現在和妻子凱倫(Karen)、小狗厄爾、小貓米喵一起住在紐澤西。
