時候到瞭──Mystery齣版緣起
文/鼕陽
多年以來，我最怕朋友問我有關推理閱讀的問題，諸如「推理小說有什麼好看？」、「為什麼要讀推理？」、「推理閱讀帶給你什麼影響或好處？」、「閱讀推理小說的滋味如何？」等等等等，而我始終找不到一個足以告訴自己、說服甚至吸引他人的答案，每一次解釋都隻能處理一部分激動的情緒，隻能靠一次次新的閱讀體驗找到補強的說法，但從來不是完整且令人安心的。
直到半個月前，我嘗瞭一道朋友為我準備的美食之後，以上所有疑惑與不安瞬間煙消雲散。
那道美食叫Mafia。
翻開英文字典，Mafia的中文解釋是「黑手黨」，那個來自遙遠的西西裏島、我們早已熟悉的黑道勢力，美食Mafia指的不是這幫人馬，而是好吃到讓人驚異的美味。
Mafia的製作方式是，切一片薄檸檬片，厚度如食譜中常講的「適中」，灑上咖啡粉（其實是介於咖啡粉與咖啡粒中間，界定同樣因人而異的模糊）與咖啡冰糖，即宣告完成。
在張口食用前，你很清楚檸檬的酸、咖啡的苦與冰糖的甜，入口前你以為隻是酸苦甜的綜閤，沒什麼大不瞭。當舌頭接觸、雙頜挪移、牙齒切磨之後，如果是濛著眼吃，你以為這是此生第一次下嚥的美味，可惜你是張開眼睛的，鼻子的嗅覺也輔助你確認剛剛吃進嘴裏的該是檸檬的酸、咖啡的苦與冰糖的甜，更確定這三樣東西加在一起理當不會發生劇烈的化學變化，但一種奇妙的滋味就在口中散逸、彌漫，你可以感受到檸檬果肉的柔軟與果皮的嚼勁、咖啡粉的細滑與冰糖的粗糙，融閤成一股說不齣的風味，上往鼻腔下接食道擴延開來──
是瞭，這不就是我長久以來試著想找到閱讀推理小說最具體的感覺嗎？
組成Mafia的材料，分彆是你原本就清楚其特性的檸檬、咖啡與冰糖，一旦加在一起送入口中，卻能創造齣一個全新且令人贊嘆的美好滋味──這與推理小說的本質是相近的。如果將推理小說做拆解，你會看到謀殺，看到動機，看到偵探凶手等等，但這些都隻是組成元素，而非整體，是要翻攪融閤後纔能成為一部精采的好小說，雖然我們都知道比例上會有不同，就如Mafia用的檸檬酸一點厚一點，咖啡烘培時間長一點研磨細一點，冰糖多一點少一點，還能依個人需求找到最適切的配量，或可以盡情嘗試各種份量搭配的結果，把檸檬換成萊姆、改變咖啡豆品種、將冰糖改砂糖等等。於是乎，有一群樂於嘗鮮或勇於嘗試做Mafia的人，對照到推理閱讀社群便是所謂的推理迷，他們舌頭精瞭手藝細瞭，開始知道什麼是本格變格冷硬解謎，清楚警察程序法醫鑑識等眾多不知道也不妨礙閱讀的條條分類，嗅齣這是來自歐美或是日本還是颱灣本土，就這麼一路鑽研樂此不疲的閱讀下去。
推理世界第一道Mafia的製作者，是美國詩人暨小說傢艾德格．愛倫．坡，他做的還不隻一道，總共做瞭五道風味各異的Mafia上桌。但愛倫．坡並未從此一路量産下去，甚至可以說他隻是想試著把這些元素兜在一起看看會有什麼結果而已，然而其影響卻一路延續至今，到目前已有一百六十餘年的書寫曆史。
愛倫．坡登場後的一百年，另一位被譽為「美國推理小說的同義詞」的大師艾勒裏．昆恩，於一九四一年編輯齣版《艾勒裏．昆恩推理雜誌》，開始為推理小說的寫作、齣版與閱讀帶來新的理念，注入新的能量。雜誌齣版時值二次世界大戰期間，齣版用紙匱乏與民生物資供應不穩的問題並未擊倒昆恩創辦雜誌的決心與動力，他們一切從簡，身兼編輯、行政、會計、工友，從邀稿收稿印刷齣書一手包辦，隻為瞭完成他們一個夢想：「將推理作傢的視野全麵提升到真正的文學創作領域上，鼓勵優秀作傢、培植有創作慾望的新作傢。」他們原本是推理文壇響當當的大作傢，如今不但希望能有更多人嘗到閱讀推理的美妙滋味，也希望能將這股滋味持續精進提升，使其活力源源不絕──
相隔六十五年，當颱灣推理齣版量已朝一年兩百本單行本的數量邁進，閱讀人口大量增加之時，齣版人便應該試著找尋一個閤適的載體，擔任起巧手烹調的角色──我們該有一本延續昆恩當年理念、承接愛倫．坡創新精神的書籍進入閱讀市場。於是，臉譜齣版社於二○○六年取得全球推理領導品牌《艾勒裏．昆恩推理雜誌》授權繁體中文版，引進當今最新短篇推理創作、論述，有係統地譯介精采的大師名作，邀請華文寫作名傢談推理閱讀，並提供優秀華文作傢作品發錶園地。
我們期待臉譜推理季刊《Mystery》的齣版，如同一道新開發的Mafia，能在推理齣版勃興的今日，提供一種閱讀的全新好滋味；同時也期許自己能以這種開闊的視野、創新的角度，帶領更多讀者進入多元精彩的推理世界。

用戶評價
In the pantheon of detective fiction, Ellery Queen stands as a titan, a name synonymous with intellectual rigor and the art of the meticulously crafted mystery. As a devoted reader who has long admired his contributions, the announcement of *Mystery Vol.1 Ellery Queen Centennial Celebration Album* stirred within me a profound sense of excitement and anticipation. It signifies not just a tribute, but a deep dive into the enduring legacy of a literary giant. My primary curiosity lies in the selection of works that will grace these pages. Will it be a comprehensive overview of his most celebrated "National Series," where each geographical location became a character in itself? Or will the editors delve into the more intricate, character-driven narratives of his later career, showcasing his evolution as a storyteller? I am particularly hopeful for the inclusion of lesser-known but equally brilliant short stories, perhaps even some pieces that offer a glimpse into Queen's creative process or early drafts, providing invaluable insight for devoted followers. Furthermore, I envision this album as more than just a collection of stories; I anticipate it being a scholarly endeavor. The inclusion of critical essays by esteemed literary critics and contemporary mystery authors would be immensely valuable. These pieces, I hope, will explore the thematic depth of Queen's work, analyzing his unparalleled ability to weave complex plots, his psychological insights into human nature, and his profound influence on the development of the detective genre. The very term "Centennial Celebration Album" suggests a comprehensive and respectful commemoration. I expect a meticulously designed volume that not only houses his fiction but also provides rich context. This might include biographical details, a timeline of his prolific career, and perhaps even comparative analyses with his contemporaries, offering a holistic understanding of his place in literary history. As a reader who relishes the challenge of unraveling a complex mystery, I have high expectations for the puzzle elements within this album. Queen's genius lay in his ability to construct seemingly impenetrable enigmas, only to dismantle them with impeccable logic and surprising revelations. I am eager to immerse myself in stories that will test my deductive faculties, inviting me to play the role of the detective alongside the fictional Ellery Queen himself. I also hope that this album will illuminate the thematic richness that underpins Queen's narratives. Beyond the thrilling plots, his stories often delve into profound questions of morality, justice, and societal structures. I am keen to explore how these deeper layers of meaning are presented and how they continue to resonate with contemporary readers, offering timeless insights into the human condition. The "Vol.1" designation in the title is particularly intriguing, suggesting the potential for a series dedicated to celebrating Queen's extensive body of work. If this initial volume is as thoughtfully curated and insightful as I anticipate, it will undoubtedly set a high benchmark and leave readers eager for subsequent installments that further explore his literary universe. The physical presentation of such a commemorative work is also of great importance to me. I envision an elegantly bound volume, with high-quality paper and thoughtful typography, that befits the stature of the author it celebrates. A book that is a pleasure to hold and behold will undoubtedly enhance the overall reading experience. Ultimately, my anticipation for this album is rooted in the desire to connect with the mind of a master storyteller. I hope to not only enjoy the intricate plots and clever solutions but also to gain a deeper appreciation for Ellery Queen's artistry, his intellect, and his lasting impact on the world of mystery fiction. This centenary celebration, I believe, will be a profound and enriching experience for any admirer of the genre. I am also eager to see how the editors have balanced the inclusion of his most famous works with potentially overlooked gems. Queen's output was vast, and a well-curated selection could introduce readers to aspects of his writing they may not have encountered before, offering a fresh perspective on his remarkable career. The promise of "Vol.1" also ignites the hope that this is the beginning of a comprehensive exploration. If this inaugural volume is as compelling as I anticipate, it will undoubtedly lead to further volumes, allowing for an even deeper and more nuanced understanding of Ellery Queen's profound contributions to literature.
评分這本書的齣現，簡直是給我這位老牌推理迷的一記驚喜。我一直認為，艾勒裏·昆恩這個名字，本身就代錶著智力遊戲的巔峰，是推理小說黃金時代不可逾越的豐碑。然而，時光荏苒，這位大師的百年誕辰，竟然能激發起如此一場盛宴，讓我倍感振奮。雖然我還沒有完全沉浸在這本書的具體內容中，但光是“艾勒裏·昆恩百年誕辰專輯”這個標題，就足以讓我對它的價值産生無限的遐想。 首先，我迫不及待地想知道，編者是如何從昆恩浩瀚的創作生涯中，精挑細選齣最能代錶他風格的作品。是那些邏輯嚴謹、詭計精妙的“國名係列”？還是那些在人物塑造和敘事技巧上有所突破的後期作品？抑或是那些鮮為人知卻同樣精彩的短篇故事？我尤其好奇，專輯中是否會收錄一些罕見的、未曾公開過的手稿、書信，甚至是作者創作時的思考過程。這樣的內容，對於真正熱愛昆恩的讀者來說，無疑是無價之寶。 其次，這本書是否會邀請當代的推理小說傢、評論傢，甚至是昆恩的後人、研究者，來分享他們對昆恩的看法？我非常期待能看到不同時代、不同背景下的作者們，如何解讀昆恩的寫作理念，如何評價他在推理小說史上的地位。他們是否會探討昆恩的某些作品是否已經過時，或者在現代社會依然具有警示意義？這些來自不同視角的評論，想必會為我打開一扇新的窗口，讓我更深入地理解這位大師的深邃思想。 再者，這本書的裝幀設計也讓我充滿期待。一本緻敬文學大師的作品，其外在呈現也應該與內在價值相匹配。我希望它能擁有典雅的書名設計，考究的紙張選擇，以及精美的插圖。或許，封麵上會采用昆恩經典作品的插畫，或者是有紀念意義的老照片。一本拿在手裏就能感受到曆史厚重感和藝術美感的書，本身就是一種享受，能夠提升閱讀的儀式感。 更重要的是，我希望這本書不僅僅是對艾勒裏·昆恩的簡單迴顧，而是能夠展現他思想的傳承和發展。他所開創的“智力遊戲”式推理，至今仍影響著無數作傢。這本書是否會探討昆恩的某些技巧是如何被後人藉鑒和創新的？是否會分析他作品中的哲學思考，比如關於人性、道德、真相的探討，在今天是否依然能夠引發共鳴？我期待能從中看到對昆恩遺産的深入挖掘和現代意義的闡釋。 作為一個長期關注推理小說發展的讀者，我對“專輯”這個詞的解讀也十分豐富。我期望這本書能呈現齣一種“專輯”應有的多樣性。除瞭小說本身，也許會有關於昆恩生平的詳盡介紹，他的創作軌跡，以及他所處的時代背景。也許會有對他作品的深度解讀，分析其獨特的敘事結構、人物設定和解謎手法。甚至，我希望會有一些與昆恩作品相關的曆史文獻，例如當時的評論、訪談，甚至是與他同時代其他推理大師的比較。 當然，我最最關心的，還是書中的具體內容能否真正帶給我驚喜。我希望它能像昆恩本人一樣，充滿智慧和挑戰。我期待在閱讀過程中，能夠不斷地被作者的構思所摺服，被謎題的復雜所吸引，被解答的巧妙所震撼。我希望這本書能夠成為我書架上的一顆璀璨明珠，在某個午後，或者一個慵懶的夜晚，當我翻開它時，都能感受到久違的推理樂趣，以及對這位文學巨匠深深的敬意。 我個人特彆喜歡那種能夠激起我思考的推理小說，而昆恩正是這方麵的翹楚。我很好奇，在這本“百年誕辰專輯”裏，會收錄哪些能夠最大限度地激發讀者思考的篇章？是那些結局齣人意料，顛覆你所有設定的故事？還是那些在敘事過程中，巧妙地設置瞭大量誤導和陷阱，讓你欲罷不能的作品？我期待的不僅僅是簡單的“誰是凶手”的答案，而是整個解謎過程中，那種智力上的博弈和思想上的碰撞。 對於任何一位熱愛推理小說的讀者來說，艾勒裏·昆恩都是一個繞不開的名字。他的作品，是無數人心中的一座豐碑。而一本以“百年誕辰專輯”為名的書籍，其分量和意義自然不言而喻。我迫不及待地想知道，這本書將如何勾勒齣昆恩這位文學巨匠的完整肖像。是側重於他最富盛名的“國名係列”，還是會挖掘一些鮮為人知的短篇佳作？是否會收錄一些關於他創作理念的訪談，或是他早期的一些珍貴手稿？我期待它能為我們提供一個更全麵、更深入的視角來認識這位傳奇作傢。 我還對這本書的“專輯”形式抱有極大的好奇。我希望它不僅僅是簡單的小說集閤，而是能夠呈現齣一種更加豐富和多元的內容。或許，書中會收錄一些對昆恩作品的學術研究，探討他作品中的文學價值、社會意義，以及他對推理小說發展的貢獻。又或許，會邀請一些當代的推理作傢，分享他們是如何受到昆恩的影響，以及他們在創作中如何藉鑒和創新昆恩的技巧。這種多角度的呈現，無疑能夠讓讀者對這位大師有更全麵的認識。 我相信，一本紀念艾勒裏·昆恩百年誕辰的專輯，必然會在內容的選擇上有著極高的標準。我期待它能收錄那些最能體現昆恩寫作精髓的作品，那些邏輯嚴謹、詭計精妙，同時又不乏文學深度和人文關懷的故事。我希望在閱讀的過程中，能夠感受到智力遊戲帶來的快感，同時也能被作品中對人性的深刻洞察所打動。這不僅僅是一次閱讀的體驗，更是一次與文學大師的對話，一次對推理藝術的緻敬。
评分我最近對艾勒裏·昆恩這個名字一直念念不忘，總覺得他的作品有一種獨特的魅力，能夠在閱讀時喚醒我內心深處的探究欲。當看到《Mystery Vol.1 艾勒裏．昆恩百年誕辰專輯》這個標題時，我幾乎是毫不猶豫地就被吸引瞭。雖然我還沒有機會翻開這本書，但光是“百年誕辰專輯”這幾個字，就足以讓我對它的內容充滿瞭無限的期待。 我一直認為，昆恩的作品之所以能夠經久不衰，在於他不僅僅是在構建一個精巧的謎團，更是在探索人性、社會和道德的復雜性。我非常好奇，在這本專輯裏，編者會如何精選那些能夠最深刻地體現昆恩思想的作品。是那些充滿哲學思辨的“國名係列”，還是那些探討傢庭倫理和社會問題的後期作品？我期待的是，每一篇作品都能讓我沉浸其中，去感受那個時代背景下的社會風貌，去思考那些永恒的人性主題。 再者，我希望這本專輯能夠提供一些關於昆恩創作過程的細節。例如，他是否有記錄創作筆記的習慣？是否會在作品中隱藏一些隻有真正瞭解他的人纔能發現的綫索？是否會有一些關於他創作靈感的來源，甚至是與他同時代其他作傢之間的交流記錄？我渴望能夠透過這些細節，更深入地瞭解這位文學巨匠的內心世界，感受他創作時的那種專注和熱情。 我個人也對一些相對“冷門”的昆恩作品抱有濃厚的興趣。很多時候，作傢的早期作品或者一些不被廣泛提及的短篇故事，反而更能展現其獨特的風格和潛力。我希望這本專輯不僅僅局限於他最齣名的幾部作品，而是能夠挖掘一些能夠讓老讀者耳目一新的篇章，讓我們有機會重新審視昆恩在不同創作階段的風格變化和藝術追求。 另外，作為一本“專輯”，我期望它能有更豐富的形式。除瞭小說本身，或許還會包含一些學者對昆恩作品的深度解讀，分析他的敘事技巧、人物塑造，以及他對推理小說發展史的貢獻。甚至，我期待能看到一些與昆恩相關的曆史資料，例如他當時的讀者反饋、媒體評論，或者是他與其他文學流派之間的比較。這些補充性的內容，能夠讓讀者更全麵地認識這位文學大師。 從讀者的角度來說，一本好的推理小說，不僅在於其謎題的復雜和解答的巧妙，更在於它所能帶給讀者的智力挑戰和情感共鳴。我希望這本專輯中的每一篇故事，都能像昆恩本人一樣，充滿智慧的光芒，讓我沉醉於解謎的樂趣，同時也能在故事的結尾，有所感悟，有所思考。 我一直覺得，閱讀推理小說，就像是在參與一場無聲的智力遊戲。而艾勒裏·昆恩，無疑是這場遊戲中，最值得尊敬的參與者之一。我非常好奇，在這本“百年誕辰專輯”中，會收錄哪些能夠最大程度地激發讀者思考的作品。是那些在布局上滴水不漏，在邏輯上無可挑剔的故事？還是那些在結局上齣人意料，顛覆我們對真相認知的作品？我期待的是，能夠在這本書中，找到那些讓我絞盡腦汁，但最終又心悅誠服的謎題。 對於推理小說愛好者來說，艾勒裏·昆恩的名字代錶著黃金時代的輝煌，代錶著智力與技巧的極緻。因此，一本以他百年誕辰為名的專輯，其承載的意義和期待自然不言而喻。我非常想知道，編者是如何從昆恩龐大的作品庫中，精挑細選齣最能代錶他風格和成就的篇章。是那些經典的“國名係列”，還是那些鮮為人知的短篇傑作？我期待的是，這本書能夠成為我重新認識和深入理解昆恩的一把鑰匙。 當然，作為一個忠實的讀者，我對“專輯”的理解，遠不止於小說的簡單堆砌。我希望這本專輯能夠像一本精緻的紀念冊，裏麵包含瞭對昆恩生平、創作理念、以及他對推理小說發展影響的深入探討。或許，還會收錄一些昆恩的未發錶手稿，或是與他同時代作傢之間的書信往來，這些都將是寶貴的文獻資料，能夠讓讀者更全麵地瞭解這位文學巨匠。 我個人對那些能夠引發讀者深入思考的作品尤為鍾愛。昆恩的作品，往往不僅僅停留在“誰是凶手”的層麵，他還會通過案件，探討人性、道德、社會等更深層次的問題。我非常期待，這本專輯中能夠收錄那些能夠讓我掩捲深思，在閱讀後仍然久久不能平靜的故事，它們不僅帶給我閱讀的樂趣，更能啓發我對現實世界的思考。 我堅信，一本以“百年誕辰專輯”命名的書籍，其在裝幀設計上也應該盡顯用心。我希望它能夠擁有典雅的封麵，考究的紙張，以及精美的排版，讓每一位拿到這本書的讀者，都能感受到它所蘊含的誠意與價值。一本充滿藝術氣息的書籍，本身就是一種享受，能夠進一步提升閱讀的體驗。 我非常期待在這本專輯中，能夠看到不同時期、不同風格的昆恩作品。或許，有些作品能展現他早期作品的純粹邏輯，有些則能體現他後期作品的敘事深度和人物塑造的細膩。這種多樣性，將能讓我更全麵地理解昆恩作為一個作傢的成長和演變，也更能感受到他藝術生涯的豐富多彩。
评分In the hallowed halls of detective fiction, the name Ellery Queen resonates with a particular kind of intellectual prestige, a mark of sophisticated puzzle-craft. Therefore, the announcement of *Mystery Vol.1 Ellery Queen Centennial Celebration Album* felt like a significant literary event, an opportunity to revisit and honor a master of the genre. My anticipation, even before a single page has been turned, is already quite considerable. My primary interest lies in the meticulous selection of stories that will comprise this album. Will it focus on the cornerstone of his fame, the iconic "National Series," renowned for their intricate geographical puzzles? Or will the editors venture into a broader spectrum, perhaps including some of his less frequently anthologized but equally insightful short stories? I am particularly hopeful for the inclusion of some hidden gems, pieces that might offer a fresh perspective and delight even the most seasoned Queen aficionado. Furthermore, I envision this album as a scholarly endeavor, extending beyond mere narrative. The inclusion of critical essays from contemporary mystery writers and esteemed literary critics would be invaluable. I anticipate these contributions will delve into the intricate architecture of Queen's plots, his masterful manipulation of reader expectations, and his profound understanding of human nature. Such analyses, I believe, will significantly deepen my appreciation for his craft. The designation "Centennial Celebration Album" implies a comprehensive and respectful tribute, a volume that aims to encapsulate the breadth of his career. I expect more than just a compilation of stories; I anticipate a thorough exploration of his literary impact. This could involve biographical details, a timeline of his prolific writing career, and perhaps even insights into the societal context that shaped his narratives, offering a holistic perspective. The very essence of an Ellery Queen mystery, for me, lies in its intellectual rigor. His stories are renowned for their complex puzzles, their deceptive clues, and their ultimately satisfyingly logical resolutions. I eagerly anticipate engaging with narratives that will challenge my deductive faculties, compelling me to scrutinize every detail and consider every potential scenario, mirroring the meticulous process of investigation. I also hope that this album will shed light on the thematic depth that often underpins Queen's intricately woven plots. His narratives frequently explore profound questions of morality, justice, and social dynamics, offering more than just a superficial mystery. I am keen to discover how these deeper thematic explorations are presented and how they continue to resonate with contemporary readers, offering timeless insights. The inclusion of "Vol.1" in the title is a particularly compelling aspect, suggesting a deliberate beginning to a potentially larger series of tributes. This indicates a commitment to a sustained and comprehensive exploration of Queen's extensive legacy, and I eagerly anticipate this inaugural volume setting a high standard for what is to follow. The physical presentation of such a commemorative edition is also of considerable importance to me. I envision a book that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is intellectually stimulating – perhaps a beautifully bound volume with premium paper and elegant typography, reflecting the esteemed author it celebrates. A book that is a pleasure to hold and behold enhances the overall reading experience. Ultimately, my anticipation for this album is driven by a desire to immerse myself in the mind of a true literary architect. I seek not only the intellectual thrill of unraveling his mysteries but also a profound appreciation for his unparalleled contribution to the genre. This centenary celebration, I am confident, will be a deeply rewarding and fitting tribute to Ellery Queen's enduring genius. The potential for uncovering stories that might have previously escaped my attention is a significant allure. Queen's bibliography is vast, and this album could serve as an excellent introduction to works that, while perhaps less universally known, are no less indicative of his remarkable talent and innovative spirit. The designation "Vol.1" strongly suggests the possibility of a series dedicated to exploring Ellery Queen's substantial and influential literary contributions. If this initial volume proves as compelling and insightful as I anticipate, it will undoubtedly create a fervent demand for subsequent installments that continue to illuminate his literary landscape.
评分For someone who has spent countless hours lost in the intricate worlds of detective fiction, the name Ellery Queen resonates with a particular kind of brilliance. He represents, for me, a pinnacle of the golden age, a master craftsman of the puzzle mystery. So, when I saw the title *Mystery Vol.1 Ellery Queen Centennial Celebration Album*, it was as if a beacon had been lit, drawing me in with an irresistible allure. While I haven't yet had the pleasure of delving into its pages, the very idea of a collection celebrating his centenary sparks a profound sense of anticipation.
