The Secret Life of Sunflowers

When Hollywood auctioneer Emsley Wilson finds her famous grandmother’s diary while cleaning out her New York brown-stone, the pages are full of surprises. The first surprise is, the diary isn’t her grandmother’s. It belongs to Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law. Johanna inherited Vincent van Gogh’s paintings. They were all she had, and they weren’t worth anything. She was a 28 year old widow with a baby in the 1800s, without any means of supporting herself, living in Paris where she barely spoke the language. Yet she managed to introduce Vincent’s legacy to the world.

《緣起香港：張愛玲的異鄉和世界》 

《緣起香港》聚焦張愛玲與香港的淵源，以檔案資料為佐證，還原模糊的歷史影像，釐清一段戰亂時期的人文經驗。張愛玲貫穿一生的世界主義視景源自大學時代的基礎人文教育。港島山上或澄澈或濃烈的視覺印象，砲火下密集的閱讀經驗，多語言和多文化參照系的匯流，殖民現代性的紛繁呈現，以及戰後從香港重新出發的漫長的漂流生涯，都刻在她寫作生命的基因裏。張愛玲的香港經驗直指內心深處的清冽和柔軟，更有一種尖銳和酷烈，構成她文字中最震撼的靈魂。
