To Modern Fables


Book Description

To Modern Fables is a book of poetry by Tom Choi, containing 46 poems. The verses are divided into three parts: Part 1 records the mental dynamics of a young man as his relationship with someone he loves proceeds (or rather comes to an end). Part 2 focuses on the poet’s reflection on his upbringing in the urban life of Hong Kong and on how his mode of thinking and writing is influenced by his Chinese cultural background therein. Part 3 (Ethics of Thought) reflects the poet’s long philosophizing about the individual pitted against his time. The content shows the poet’s attempt to draw inspiration from both the Western literary tradition and his native Chinese heritage (especially Chinese mythology) in response to the questions of modernity. The last two bilingual pieces seek to reconcile the histo-cultural tensions between the East and the West in a poetical vision. In a globalized yet fragmented world/social setting, the overarching object of the book is the representation of the psychological outlook of a young man who tries hard to grapple with and reconcile the diverse (and at times conflicting) values in the 21st century. 本書包含46首英文詩,表現了在21世紀全球化但支離破碎的環境下,一個年輕人如何努力應對和調和各種碰撞的價值觀,並尋求相互理解的可能性。全書分為三部分:第一部分記錄一個年輕人與所愛之人的關係走向結束的過程;第二部分記錄了作者在香港的成長以及對這座城市的反思;第三部分展現了詩人從個人與時代抗衡中所迸發出的哲學性思考。詩人從西方文學傳統和中國傳統文化當中汲取靈感,匯集成詩,試圖回應現代性所產生的問題。
