Walking on the way of literature back to hometown— On the Local Implication of A Sheng's "Cape Acacia Rain"

阿盛散文的鄉土書寫一直是台灣文學中一道獨特的風景，四十年來，他一直走在文學抒情的回鄉路上。從台南新營移居到中和的阿盛，往往在回眸鄉土風雲的尋根中，使其散文凝聚了歷史的厚重，平添了撫今追昔的滄桑感。他透過存史之筆回返生命童年期「原風景」的旅程，也是讓我們回顧「過去」、意識到「現在」大變遷的旅程。

群體的記憶往往是通過個人的記憶來實現的，他的新作《海角相思雨》獨特之處在於作者匠心獨運地超越了嘈雜混亂的現代社會語境展示出上一代人生活的詩意風情，記錄了一個行將消失的文明。本文擬透過對阿盛《海角相思雨》的探討，以見阿盛鄉土書寫的義蘊，從中以見台灣農村的生存圖景、文化變遷與人間情懷。
