摘要

李喬的短篇小說作品獨具個人風格的特色，故擁有「小說第一玩家」的稱號。李喬對小說表達的形式技巧，不斷地求變求新，以追求形式的完美圓熟。李喬以怪誕美學形式處理生活中陌生偶然出現的反常現象，拓展了小說敘述的遼敻空間，並透過對現實社會現象的凝視，描寫現代人面對現實生活的壓力，常採用隱遁逃避的方式來進行內在心理抗爭，甚至影響到人們的家庭生活和諧和兩性關係、人的精神與個性改變。其小說之「怪」體現在作品系列中病態、畸形的人物，此類人物不是常情可理喻的，偏離了人生常軌，成為千奇百怪的病症，也可用「變形」一詞概括之。變形具有寓意、象徵等功能，引申出以下兩種怪誕類型，分別為：（一）裂變的靈魂（二）肉體的變形。李喬藉由精神疾病非常人的反常行為，通過夢魘的橋樑溝通，游移現實與夢幻交際，進而揭示社會陰暗面，審視人類靈魂衝突與生存痛苦的層面，刻劃出生活在現代文明下的焦躁、憂慮和不安，表述其個人的探索生命的本質和剖析人性及情感意義的宣洩，李喬的小說書寫可謂極具怪誕風格。

Lee, Chiao's unique characteristics and personal style shown in his writing won him the title of being the ”best player in fictions.” He has been continuously changing the way he expresses his stories and searching for perfection. The grotesque but aesthetic way he uses to describe the occasional anomalies in daily life serve to expand novel description to a vast extend. By reflecting actual incidents in our society, his writing shows how modern people face pressure in life by turning away from it. This wrestling with one’s inner mind not only affects the family life and the harmony between partners, but also changes one’s mindset and personalities. In his fictions, Lee, Chiao uses distorted and peculiar characters to demonstrate the ”grotesque.” These characters are usually devastatingly unreasonable, deviated from regular life path, showing all kids of odd symptoms that could only be concluded as ”deformation.” Deformation can be implicating and symbolic. There are two types of deformation: (a) mental deformation and (b) physical deformation. In Lee, Chiao's stories, he uses mentally-ill characters that communicate through nightmares and waver between reality and fantasy to reveal the dark side of society, and to examine the conflicts and suffering of human souls. The irritation, panic, and insecurity in modern civilization are exceedingly depicted. Revealing his personal exploration of the essence of life, analyzing human nature, as well as expelling emotional significance, Lee, Chiao is undoubtedly a grotesque genius in short stories.
