摘要

鍾鐵民(1941－ 2011)，身為「鄉土文學之父」鍾理和之長子，因敬佩、心疼父親為文學所付出的全副心力，加之自身對文學創作的喜愛，一生克紹箕裘、書寫鄉土。美濃，是鍾鐵民成長以至終老之處，作品內容秉持鍾理和「真誠」寫作的理念，以生活周遭熟稔的人事物作為題材與發想，描繪臺灣光復後迄今的美濃風土民情。余昭玟說：「作家(鍾鐵民)將踐履過的土地，建構出故事場景，故土對創作的啟示不言而喻。多篇小說的場景同在美濃，織出故鄉的記憶之網，在互文的關照下，讓讀者可以互相比對，彼此聯想，為美濃找到更完整的樣貌。」可見從鍾鐵民的創作裡，也如同其父的作品一樣，可讓讀者得以從中尋覓出作家的文學地圖並加以比對，美濃這個地理空間在鍾鐵民的詮釋下，不僅作為他回憶親友情誼的場所、側記歷史文化的載體，同時也是記錄農村變遷的場域；換言之，鍾鐵民承接鍾理和的書寫特色，無形中持續為美濃留下更完整的地景記錄。

Chung Tie-min is the son of the ＂father of nativist literature,＂ Chung Li-ho. Out of respect for the effort his father dedicated to literature, as well as due to his own love of literary creation, he followed in his father's footsteps and devoted his life to nativist writing. Chung Tie-min grew up in Mei-nong and resided in the district until the end of his life. In his work, he upholds his father's literary concept of genuineness and draws inspiration from people and events in his daily life, painting a picture of the environment and customs in Mei-nong after Taiwan's retrocession. According to Yu Chao-Wen, ＂writers construct the settings of stories from the lands they traverse; needless to say, writers' homelands are a source of creative inspiration. Several stories are set in Mei-nong, weaving a web of hometown memories. With the aid of intertext, readers can compare and create associations between texts, and search for a more complete representation of Mei-nong.＂ It is thus evident that readers can seek and compare the literary maps within Chung Tie-min's creations with those in Chung Li-ho's works. Under Chung Tie-min's interpretation, the geographical space of Mei-nong becomes a place filled with memories of his childhood, a medium for recording history, and an area recording changes in rural villages. In other words, Chung Tie-min carries forward the writing style of Chung Li-Ho, unconsciously leaving a more complete landscape record for Mei-nong.
