  截至七月底,關於本報導中的藍鶲家族,我的觀察正進入第二年。第一代的雄鳥和雌鳥已經離開了,現在是雄鳥的第二個老婆,和兩隻今春出生的亞成鳥一起生活。整個山頭沒有雄鳥,自然不可能再有繁殖。也許秋天集聚時,會有別地的雄鳥到來吧!很感謝這個家族,陪我度過了近兩年的森林觀察。</p>

  • <p><b>Award Acceptance Speech:(發表於劉克襄Facebook)</b><br />   我在陽台修剪花草,手機突然響起,出版社告知《虎地貓》獲得今年台北國際書展大獎。還好我已走進室內,要不,大概會從四樓掉下去。<br /> <br />   初時,我的第一個反應:怎麼可能!畢竟,以往國際書展非小說類得獎作品,往往頒給一鎚定音的重量級作品,或者長時調查報導、感人肺腑的鉅著,這本小書得獎,真讓我彷彿接到詐騙電話。我還提醒通知者,是否看錯了,應該只是入圍前十名吧?但他再去查證,真的得獎了。<br /> <br />   哇,我愣了好一陣,激動地想向這一屆評審委員致上最大敬意。兩年前,《四分之三的香港》得到此一獎項時,我覺得合理,好像評委合該就是選出這類書籍。但描述寵物之書,難免被視為小確幸,輕薄短小,不登大雅之堂。<br /> <br />   如今被肯定,顯見評審們有著不同於以往的見解和高度。在這個重視動物權的年代,更願意從城市的繁複生活裡尋找更多生命的義理。讓這本彷彿僅止於街貓描述的小品,贏得一個機會。<br /> <br />   謝謝他們的舉薦,謝謝香港嶺南大學曾經幫助我的學生,還有校園裡面的幾十隻街貓,以及台北捷運站辛亥站墓仔埔旁,那五六隻屋頂的,詩人或蝙蝠俠,為我紮實地上了這堂城市動物學。<br /> <br />   這次贏得很僥倖,寫作能力比我好的人太多了。我是個幸運的人。也謝謝文娟和麗玲在遠流待到最後一刻,仍在努力編輯這本書。還有我的專書編輯小P之長期伴護,讓我這隻老鳥,繼續擁有一對堅硬翅膀,雖說老化了,仍然試著努力地,翱翔於天空。</p>

    Wins the Taipei International Book Exhibition Prize for Stray Cats

    Award Acceptance Speech:(發表於劉克襄Facebook)
      我在陽台修剪花草,手機突然響起,出版社告知《虎地貓》獲得今年台北國際書展大獎。還好我已走進室內,要不,大概會從四樓掉下去。

      初時,我的第一個反應:怎麼可能!畢竟,以往國際書展非小說類得獎作品,往往頒給一鎚定音的重量級作品,或者長時調查報導、感人肺腑的鉅著,這本小書得獎,真讓我彷彿接到詐騙電話。我還提醒通知者,是否看錯了,應該只是入圍前十名吧?但他再去查證,真的得獎了。

      哇,我愣了好一陣,激動地想向這一屆評審委員致上最大敬意。兩年前,《四分之三的香港》得到此一獎項時,我覺得合理,好像評委合該就是選出這類書籍。但描述寵物之書,難免被視為小確幸,輕薄短小,不登大雅之堂。

      如今被肯定,顯見評審們有著不同於以往的見解和高度。在這個重視動物權的年代,更願意從城市的繁複生活裡尋找更多生命的義理。讓這本彷彿僅止於街貓描述的小品,贏得一個機會。

      謝謝他們的舉薦,謝謝香港嶺南大學曾經幫助我的學生,還有校園裡面的幾十隻街貓,以及台北捷運站辛亥站墓仔埔旁,那五六隻屋頂的,詩人或蝙蝠俠,為我紮實地上了這堂城市動物學。

      這次贏得很僥倖,寫作能力比我好的人太多了。我是個幸運的人。也謝謝文娟和麗玲在遠流待到最後一刻,仍在努力編輯這本書。還有我的專書編輯小P之長期伴護,讓我這隻老鳥,繼續擁有一對堅硬翅膀,雖說老化了,仍然試著努力地,翱翔於天空。
