Crushing: an Illustrated Misadventure in Love and Loneliness

內容簡介

內容簡介 【有時候，想說的，只有沉默能傳達】她很孤獨，因此向外尋求連結；他很孤獨，因此內向害怕關係。他們，該如何才能走到一起？宛如《向左走，向右走》的情節，繪本《CRUSHING》畫出大城市中的愛與孤獨。故事在無聲中進行，只有都市裡的人才能明白：人與人的關係，如此讓人圓滿，也讓人黯然。她單身，家裡的另外的成員是一隻貓咪。他也單身，一個人住，養了一隻狗。她渴望有一段感情，出門會不經意注意熱戀中的男男女女，會主動和陌生人打招呼，尋求發展的可能。他，老是頭低低，除了工作外不太與人目光交集。兩個人就像是兩條平行線。終於，他倆來到一家雜貨店，採買用品裝袋時，物品掉落，此時他倆發現，兩人都穿著紅色條紋衣…一本大都市中，他和她，等待邂逅、互動的暖暖無字書，適合用心觀賞。She's lonely and searching for connection.He's lonely, but afraid to reach out. But is finding someone else really the answer to their problems?CRUSHING, an illustrated misadventure in love and loneliness, is a story told in silence - a story about connections in the big city - making them, missing them and longing for them. Achingly beautiful, subtly defiant and full of humour and quiet wisdom, Sophie Burrows' debut graphic novel is a unique meditation on the human condition in the 21st century, and a timely examination of millennial life in an age of isolation. Sometimes, words aren't enough.【走進閱讀世界｜迷誠品:專文推薦】標題｜人本質是孤獨，需要互相理解；《Crushing》道出愛情是兩個同樣孤獨的人聯繫在一塊撰文｜迷誠品內容中心在與孤獨共存的生活裡，我們都希望生命中能出現一個「對的人」，偶有爭吵、卻也能時常感受相知相惜的片刻，盼著透過「關係」將自己與什麼聯繫在一塊，讓孤立感沒那麼明顯。關於相愛，我們都還在尋尋覓覓，或許都需要來點貼近生活感的真實愛情......☞點此進入迷誠品閱讀文章
