作者: 游朝凱   譯者: 彭臨桂


        早在二〇二〇年以《內景唐人街》榮獲美國國家書卷獎前,游朝凱便在二〇〇六年出版《三流超級英雄》翌年獲得了美國國家圖書基金會青年作家獎。做為游朝凱的首部短篇小說集,書中故事可見作家創作初心,讓人驚艷。

  《三流超級英雄》收錄共十一篇充滿幻想、奇趣、卻又略帶傷感的實驗性質作品,篇篇直指生活裡的虛無,帶著解離且後設的趣味。像是同名小說﹤三流超級英雄﹥中想要成為英雄最終卻得面對真實自我的主角、想要打造完美人生的﹤401(k)﹥、唯有在夢裡才感覺到自己真實活著的﹤變成自己的男人﹥、瀰漫浪漫詩意彷彿科幻寓言的﹤佛羅倫絲﹥,每篇故事都存在於架空的時間背景裡,看似充滿奇想,實則突顯人物心中無所不在的自我詰問及自我追尋。

  這些故事在敘事形式上有多種實驗,例如劇本形式的﹤我最後扮演我的日子﹥,故事透過戲劇裡的演員與自我對話交替,主人翁不停自我剖析:我該如何表達(演出)憂傷的情緒?這個女人「不適合」演出我的母親。種種抽離自我,以第三視角看待演員/自我的描述,讓游朝凱筆下的角色都有一種荒漠似的疏離及異化。

  我們在不同的故事裡能看見一些有趣的共同性:解離、荒謬,所有的主人翁都在尋找一個遙遠、看似不存在的生命核心。如同進入一個又一個夢境,不斷探索另一個平行時空中的自我。透過多重的敘事形式實驗,不斷探究及扣問的是人性核心:我是否真的存在?會否有另一個更好的我?無盡探索讓人彷彿身處太空失重狀態,更令故事瀰漫末日般的荒涼及孤寂。誠如美國書評媒體所言,游朝凱彷彿透過創作化身成為太空時代的卡夫卡。這些故事對世界拋出的是永恆而古老的叩問,值得一讀再讀。

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.

Cozy Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
This is the true definition of Cozy Omegaverse. LA wedding coordinator meets her pack at the location for a couple’s destination wedding. Low angst because they are scent matched high heat with heats and knots. Everything you love about this genre with very little anxiety. Simply a fun experience to read and a book I will comeback to when I’m in a slump. I simply love reading this book

Cute Omegaverse story
Format: Kindle
3.75 stars and 2 for spice. Adorable Omegaverse story about a wedding planner who has to go to a small town to plan a wedding for a movie star. While there, she meets her pack. This covers her struggles of not living there but trying to keep her relationship going with her 3 Alphas. It's a quick read and cute, so I recommend it for people who like light-hearted RH stories.
