Great writers and philosophers

The sincerity of Qiyeying is to admit that she is a mediocre person, and most of her talents on the road to literature are supported by her own love.

But the world cannot understand this.

In this world of declining literature, the world war that has nothing to do with sensual and rational literature has just ended, and it is the end of the century...

In some parallel world, a writer named Tatsuhiko Shibusawa explained in his "The Age of Salome" that his friend, the famous writer Yukio Mishima, explained in "Oscar Wilde" Regarding the meaning of "the atmosphere of an era" in "Didn't I choose the atmosphere of an era presented by it ("Salome") without hesitation?"——

"The so-called "atmosphere of an era" here, of course, refers to the atmosphere at the end of the century. To use Yukio Mishima's style of expression, it is an atmosphere dominated by lingering ennui and melancholy before the end of the world. .”

Speaking of which, such a description is easily reminiscent of another writer - Ango Sakaguchi.Such an atmosphere is permeated in Sakaguchi Ango's "Idiot" and "The Woman Who Washes the Loincloth for Aoki".

It is worth mentioning that Yukio Mishima himself admired Ango Sakaguchi's works, but he criticized the works and personality of Ango Sakaguchi's friend Osamu Dazai, which left many anecdotes in the literary world.

……At the end of the century, especially when science started, wars swept the world, and the ruins were gray, there are very, very many people who will "speak up when they are injustice", and thus step into the world literary world.This is a reasonable direction.

However, this world is not like this.

The literary world is so weak that Qiyeying can get the nickname of "Literary Star" by the name of Polaris - it's not that she is too inferior, it's just that she really knows how much she weighs, and so far, she hasn't read it yet. Until he became the beneficiary of "the author is dead" literary criticism.

To put it simply, no one can understand her work so much that she doesn't understand her own book at all.In other words, at least none of the evaluations she collected was beyond her control as an author—even so, she could become a superstar who won many awards and was able to throw money at will in the eyes of literary lovers. .

She really doesn't think highly of herself, so she looks down even more on the world who regards herself as a "literary star".

At least.

Seven nights firefly thought.

If I want to be worthy of the honor of "Literary Star"...

(It’s not something that can be done by burying your head in writing.)

"It's like "The Stone of Sisyphus"... Do you know this book? My second book." Polaris continued his sincerity after receiving an affirmative reply from the host, "This book is about peace, maybe The appearance of war, peace is the stone of Sisyphus - when I set this theme, I was in a state of anger, and I did it with anger. In other words, the source of the birth of "The Stone of Sisyphus" is me The desire to write. When you are angry with street gangsters, you will stretch out your fists, and when soldiers are angry, they will raise their guns... It is the same atmosphere as these scenes.”

Polaris said: "The most important thing here is the 'qi', or 'impulse', just like the eyes in the finishing touch. If there is no such thing in an article, it is like a person has no soul-it sounds like this It seems important to look up? But I didn’t think so before.”

A qualified host listens to the self-confessions of the guests with encouraging and focused eyes.

"When I haven't really published any text, that is to say, when I'm still here and I'm only studying, I think the most important thing for an author is the 'enthusiasm of creation'."

"This thing is like this. In my understanding, anyone who has a means or tool that can be used to express communication such as writing or language can have a 'desire to write', so of course, anyone can Some things are not particularly precious. What about the 'passion to create'?"

Qiye Ying took a deep breath unconsciously, her voice contained a different emotion, which made her look almost devout.

"Only those who really love literature, and love it so much that it is difficult to understand it with secular rules, and almost crazy people have the 'passion for creation'. This is not uncommon in the history of art, nor is it exclusive to literature. Human beings are creatures. Animals, survival is the most important thing, this is the instinct of each of us. But there are always some people who seem to be bewitched by the moon, in order to draw correct portraits of characters, they dissect dead bodies; in order to write accurate scenes, they force checkmates What does it feel like when a friend is on the verge of death... To be honest, if a god suddenly appeared to me now and said that he could give me literary talent, let alone make a deal with my soul, I probably wouldn't be able to categorically refuse to make a deal with Uchiha-kun ...I'm sorry, Uchiha-kun, I'll do this month's bowl!"

After a sudden apology to the camera with his palms folded, Polaris, who successfully brought back the atmosphere that was about to slide in another direction, chuckled twice.

"Literary talent is originally a medium for those children who are loved by the god of literature, Sugawara Michizane, to discover their talents. It is very important. , I think so."

"That is to say, in my previous understanding, the enthusiasm for writing is one level higher than the desire to write. This is a kind of vanity that shallow people often have when standing on a high place and looking down on a low place. That’s what we call human nature.”

"But now, I find that the desire to write is more important than the enthusiasm for writing, at least for the 'newcomers' who have not set foot on the literary road."

"Hmm...why do you say that?" The host, who was finally able to interject, asked at the right time.

Polaris said: "Because I found that there are many people who have the talents I envy, or at least have a great possibility of possessing them. For various reasons, before they pick up a pen and paper, they have already dazedly actively or forcedly picked up something else."

Unmistakable sadness was revealed in the clear eyes of the calm-faced writer.

"How does a skinny kid feel when she stands on the runway and sees the tall, slender-legged people outside the runway who can't see the runway here? Come on, see this Let’s open a road; please, stand on the runway—how mysterious and beautiful the scenery at the end is, don’t you want to see it?”

"I look at those people, and the cruelest thing they can do to the literature of the world is to be indifferent. They shouldn't be indifferent."

"I'm not afraid to say what I really think, even if not all of the reasons, even if most of the reasons are directly caused by the war. The war is over, and many people have become wrecks after the war. These people have no way to use Sisyphus thinking, they come up with things that make even stones laugh, but those who can push stones... those who can be Sisyphus, you watch them do nothing, for you personally It is also a form of torture.”

“At the end of the day, war makes us lose everything and become who we are not. In The Stone of Sisyphus, I paraphrase a deceased man—“War and peace are really the same in the beginning: They are also ignored by the world and people's hearts." (1) I know that I am definitely not the only one and a few people watching war in this world, but war is not something that disappears when it is over.It absolutely cannot be something like this.More people should write it, and describe it in French, Japanese, Chinese, English...in all languages ​​of the world, because it is a world war.isn't it? "

"Or to put it this way, life and death, loneliness, madness, love, hate... all literary motifs and the core of them - people, all of which are worthy of people's attention and attention, to touch and feel it with the senses and soul , know it."

"I hope that more people will take the path of literature, not just because of literature - I know this reason is as difficult for people who lack creative enthusiasm to understand as it is for the medieval inquisition to understand that the earth is not the center of the universe .”

"I hope that more people will notice that, among other things, there is a way to struggle with writing. Whether it's personal experience, or a story from the sidelines, or a legend that has long faded - you can Express yourself. If you don’t want to express yourself, you can describe others. If you don’t want to achieve any purpose, and think that the existence of the purpose makes this thing lose its charm, then just spend five or six pages and a tube of ink to vent the suppressed in the bottom of your heart. The mood is also good."

"That's what I'm really here on this show today."

"I very, very hope that someone will give it a try."

Polaris said to the camera very sincerely and seriously.

……

Calm down, Nanaya Hotaru looked at Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi, thought for a while, and began to explain what their names meant to her.

Then Nanaya Hotaru, who was wearing house clothes and looked like a very small woman, said: "You broke my heart, Mr. Edogawa, not because of your appearance and reasoning-you made me realize my fantasy, which is in my heart The fantasies that moved me to tears from the excitement and enthusiasm that arose when I heard the two names just now... You made me realize that it was just another delusion of mine, and I am still lonely after all, this loneliness is so unique I can't even change its way of being, I can only continue in the state I have been in for a long time, or will remain forever alone."

"However, I still have kindness and enthusiasm for the two of you... If no one refutes, I will even describe my attitude as tolerance. Of course, I hope that the 'return' I can get is tolerance. I don't mind telling You and my past, and things you may be curious about, but I hope it can be in the form of a letter."

"Not only am I not a person who is good at words, but I am not a person who likes to communicate. The reason why I am not like this now can only be said that I am forced. I am used to it."

"But as I said, you broke my heart. I need to be alone now, maybe think for a while, maybe just be in a daze, anyway, I need to be alone."

"If you are willing to give me such tolerance, please leave your addresses, and my letter will arrive soon."

"...As an aside, do you guys know Natsume Soseki? He is the only person I know who is still a writer, so he moved here to settle down."
