Abstract

台灣文學作家胡長松（1973-）對1997年開始出版《柴山少年安魂曲》（1997）、《骷髏酒吧》（2000）遮的華語小說，因為接觸著台語界的相關作家，開始用台語創作，一開始是先用華、台對譯的《槍聲》(2005)、《燈塔下》(2005)到轉型做一位全台語創作的台語小說家。2004年佇創作過程信仰基督教，台語創作開始加添基督教的元素和色彩，有《大港嘴》(2010)、《金色島嶼之歌》(2013)和《復活的人》(2014)，佇舊年出版上新的是《幻影號的奇航》(2021)，佇這20外年當中，作品對一開始是較烏暗的風貌，信仰基督教了後嘛予伊的作品開始看著光明和希望。佇方耀乾的《台語文學史暨書目彙編》(2012)、林央敏的《台語小說史及作品總評》(2012)，攏有討論著胡長松的作品，筆者發現文訊雜誌當中「21世紀上升星座」的專題(2020)當中，胡長松的作品《復活的人》是唯一入選的台語小說。顯示台語小說佇當代的重要性，台語小說應該受著文壇注重，無應該予學界放捒。

胡長松的作品當中和台灣文學作家張大春、宋澤萊、林耀德，攏運用西方的魔幻寫實手路。關心的議題攏包括對歷史、本土的關懷，胡長松以台語疼惜本土，書寫台灣的二二八事件、表達認同自身文化的族群互動、見證台灣民主化過程的學生運動。進一步用魔幻寫實起造屬於台灣的世界觀，在在顯示台語小說和台灣文學閣有世界文學攏是互相連結的。Hu Chang-Song, a Taiwanese novelist, published his first Chinese novel 《Tzaishan boy’s Requiem》（柴山少年安魂曲）in 1997 and《Skull Bar》（骷髏酒吧）in 2000. After getting acquainted with other Tâi-gí writers, he has started to write in Tâi-gí.At first, Hu Chang-Song’s novels were written in Mainland Chinese and the translated version in Tâi-gí. Later, since he became a Christian in 2004, his writing style has changed. His novels have been flavored by religious beliefs, such as 《The Big Harbor》（大港嘴, 2010）、《The Song of the Golden Island》（金色島嶼之歌, 2013）, 《Resurrection Man》（復活的人, 2014）, and his latest novel《The Ship: Huan-Ying-Hao ‘s mysterious trip》（幻影號的奇航, 2021）, which is released last year. The change of his belief has breathed a light of hope into his novels.Recently, the novels of Hu Chang-Song have been highly valued and discussed by famous Tâi-gí scholars, such as Yaw-chien Fang ’s《The History of Taiwanese Language Literature and its Bibliography》（台語文學史暨書目彙編, 2012） and Yang-min, Lin’s《The History of Tâi-gí Novels and Works Commentary Collection》(台語小說史及作品總評,2012). In addition, the author found that in 2020, Hu Chang-Song’s novel《Resurrection Man》（復活的人, 2014）was the only Taiwanese novel selected in a column “The Raising Constellation of 21 Century” in the Wen-hsun-tsa-chih. It showed that the importance of the literature of Tâi-gí in this generation, and Tâi-gí literature should be paid attention to by Taiwanese literary arena.The novels of Hu Chang-Song have magical realism along with other Taiwanese novelists, including Chang Ta-chun、Lin Yao-de and Song Zelai. They focus on the issue of the history and local culture in Taiwan. Hu Chang-Song writes in Tâi-gí to express love for our country. Through describing The February 28 Incident and Wildlily Movement in his novels, he reveals his acceptance of belonging to be a Taiwanese and witnesses Taiwan's democracy. Furthermore, by employing magical realism, Hu Chang-Song creates our own world view. All in all, it displays that Tâi-gí novels, Taiwanese literature, and world literature are closely related to each other.
