"The process of admitting to being a boring person is life." "Some people can't do something special, and just like they can do something special, it's a talent." "Everything lives according to a minimum, a minimum of relationships, a minimum of effort, a minimum of money, and a free mind that goes with it." In July 2021, "One Man's Good Weather" author Aoyama Qihui's latest short story collection "Wind" was published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House.
Aoyama Seven Hui
Nanae Aoyama, born in 1983, is a japanese novelist. In 2005, he won the 42nd Japan Literary Award for his debut novel "Window Lamp" and rose to prominence in the literary world. In 2007, she won the 136th Ryunosuke Wasagawa Award for "One Man's Good Weather", becoming the third young female winner in the history of the award. In 2009, he won the 35th Yasunari Kawabata Literature Prize for "Fragments". However, unlike writers such as Ryunosuke Wasagawa and Yasunari Kawabata, as the current generation of Japanese writers, Nanae Aoyama has gradually faded from the "weight" condensed by the previous generation of writers, and more young writers have written trivial and poor daily life in the form of light novels. The writing of Nanae Aoyama often makes people feel a kind of articulating effort - her writing objects are young people of the same age as herself, the sense of language is light, and what is presented in the story is a life of five tastes after filtering and precipitating "light".
In "A Man's Good Weather", Nanae Aoyama describes how a girl who works odd jobs get along with her elderly relatives while pursuing herself and independence, and the various encounters and moods of a girl who is on her own two feet in work, life and love are heart-wrenching, and the novel is full of the bitterness of being a freelancer ("Feite"). The content reflects a current social problem in Japan, that is, many young people do not want to work full-time and work around, prefer to be freelancers, they do not want to grow up, do not want to take responsibility, can not be independent, afraid to go out and see the world, but do not know where this fear comes from. The novel, translated into Chinese, is also very popular among young readers in China because of its light style and unique perspective. In Aoyama's view, a writing concept in which emotions are higher than plots is valid: "Compared with plots and stories, the beauty of performance and the aftertaste of readers are more important." I want to use the purest language to seal a certain moment along with the taste and atmosphere of the moment between the lines. ”
As she grew older, Nanae Aoyama was also pioneering new ways of writing and seeking new directions of writing. However, the sense of alienation of the protagonist in her works has not changed. The four short stories included in the latest collection of novels, "The Wind", focus on some individuals in the crowd, some of whom live alone and return from a trip to find that the "home" has disappeared out of thin air; some are unable to dance anyway, whether at school, at disco, or in kindergarten parent-child activities, their hands and feet will become unable to move; and some look for bonds with friends or close relatives, but eventually meet themselves. The author pays attention to describing delicate and subtle feelings, and the writing style is bizarre. The protagonists of the four short stories are women who want to bond with the world and others, but the relationship between people can be described as impossible to capture. When the friendship between narrators due to coincidence and inevitably drift apart, the author always pays attention to details, and there are many novel innovations in metaphor and language, which make people gush with continuous thoughts and cannot be released.
For this work, in an interview, she poured out a thought: "I don't think that the characters in my writing are typical modern people, in the end, what I plan to write is 'there are such people, there are such individuals'. In the four short stories included in "Wind", Nanae Aoyama focuses on some individuals in the crowd who are obliquely slanted, and the protagonists are women who want to bond with the world and others, but the relationship between people can be described as impossible to capture like the wind. She recounts friendships that arise by chance and the inevitable slow alienation. This is the truth of life: someone will come, and someone will always leave.
