試論《長跑少年》與《打發時間圖書館》的死亡書寫及自我療救

The Death Writing and Self-salvage of The Teen Runner and The Library of Time Flies

九歌現代少兒文學獎允為臺灣少兒文學的標竿，歷時久遠，其中死亡書寫較為少見，作家多為保護讀者而輕描淡寫人物的死亡，近年則突破往昔的避諱，深入青少年面對親友或是自身死亡的態度與心理。其中，2016年得獎作品《長跑少年》與《打發時間圖書館》特別著墨青少年的憂鬱與死亡，受到家、學校與社會的影響甚多。此外，兩部文本均關注青少年面對死亡陰影的抉擇與態度，如何面對生命困境並找到屬於自己的路。受苦的意義在於向內深掘自身的力量，透過故事敘說的角度，青少年得以找到被壓抑的聲音與動能，進而看見與肯定原本的真我。期使透過此論文探討，或可從中了解當今臺灣青少年的精神苦悶，面對死亡的態度，以及自我療救的可能。
