Book Club: Collapse
GE2022-08
Book Club: Collapse
讀書會:崩壞
在《昨天喝了河豚湯》,我寫道:「世界的殘酷,有很多,包括天災人禍、生離死別,又有來自別人的誤解、對未來的絕望,等等等等。作為一名作者,我經常在想:文字,可以怎樣幫助我們面對這些實實在在的世間壞事呢?」
 
然後,我又在想,在感知世界的殘酷之前,要麼我們先思考世界是如何崩壞的?五節的讀書會,我們閱讀、提問、聊天,探討個體、社會、文明,以至希望的崩壞(與否)。
 
In Louis Miha’s latest book, he wrote: ‘There are so many cruelties in the world, like the natural and man-made hazards, life and death, misunderstandings, despair about the future, and so on.  As an author, I always wonder how writing can help us deal with those bad things in the real world.’

In this five-session book club, Louis Miha will explore the global collapse together with you through questioning, chatting and discussing about individuals, society, civilisation and even/perhaps hopes from collapses.
