Their adventures began chiefly because it was one of the wettest and coldest summers there had been for years. That drove them to do indoor things: you might say, indoor exploration. It is wonderful how much exploring you can do with a stump of candle in a big house, or in a row of houses. Polly had discovered long ago that if you opened a certain little door in the box.room attic of her house you would find the cistern and a dark place behind it which you could get into by a little careful climbing. The dark place was like a long tunnel with brick wall on one side and sloping roof on the other. In the roof there were little chunks of light between the slates. There was no floor in this tunnel: you had to step from rafter to rafter, and between them there was only plaster. If you stepped on this you would find yourself falling through the ceiling of the room below. Polly had used the bit of the tunnel just beside the cistern as a smugglers’ cave. She had brought up bits of old packing cases and the seats of broken kitchen chairs, and things of that sort, and spread them across from rafter to rafter so as to make a bit of floor. Here she kept a cash.box containing various treasures, and a story she was writing and usually a few apples. She had often drunk a quiet bottle of ginger. beer in there: the old bottles made it look more like a smugglers‘ cave.

蒙马特遗书
深深堕入生命中最黑暗的痛苦里,挣扎着爱与死的意义——死亡,也是创作的一部分吗?一九九五年夏天,才华洋溢的台湾小说家邱妙津在巴黎以惨烈的自杀结束了自己年仅二十六岁的生命。这二十封信,是她留给这个世界的生命告白。爱欲的强烈、背叛的痛苦、不顾一切的占有与痛切的自我剖析在文字中喷薄而出,而关于爱与艺术的纯粹追问,也永久地震撼着世上所有苍白的灵魂。本书甫一问世就引爆了整个台湾,对于整整一代尚未有机会深思爱与死真谛的青年来说,邱妙津的文字提供的,不仅是经典的阅读对象,更是一个朝圣的坐标,以及面对诚实爱欲的灵魂自白。“我对我的生命意义是真正诚实与负责的,尽管我的肉体死了,形式的生命结束了,但是我并不觉得我的灵魂就因此被消灭,无形的生命就因此而终止。”爆笑穿越:无良傻妃腹黑爷
