董啟章的閱讀世界與文學思考集中反映出小說家的寫作取向◆當董啟章變身成一個書痴，與書架上的靈魂對話……專注於長篇小說創作的董啟章，寫作生涯達三十年，從龐大的「自然史三部曲」到內在性的「精神史三部曲」，以及近年逐漸形成的「靈魂三部曲」，總能不斷帶給讀者感受風格多變的小說世界。身為一個寫小說的人，他同時也是重度閱讀者，若想了解小說家的文學源頭與風格養成，或可從其讀書的興趣與偏好裡一窺堂奧。董啟章讀書隨筆集，即是他浸淫書本世界的啟發和感想記錄，收錄一百四十六篇，分作《狐狸讀書》與《刺蝟讀書》。此作亦是睽違十年後難得一次，作者發表大量非虛構文字，博聞多識、嚴肅通俗兼有的書話隨筆兩冊。狐狸和刺蝟，被西方哲人用來比喻具有相反特質的兩類作家和思想家。上下冊的編選，大體上按照動物的不同性格，略作區分：狐狸跳脫不定，心思甚多，又和神仙鬼怪有關，於是作者把輕鬆漫談東西洋文學，和有關奇幻題材的文章放在第一冊；刺蝟一心一意，固執專注，沉潛內斂，第二冊則收錄思辨性較強、理論較多的文章。愛上一個作家，無異於被鬼迷。讀書人董生不分日夜經年與書架上的靈魂打交道，按他自己的話說，讀書就是某種形式的通靈了，心竅為之大開。朋友們，翻開書本，你準備好通靈了嗎？本書特色：讀書隨筆集的文章，選自董啟章在香港明報周刊的專欄「Ghost on the Shelf」。分為兩批，成為《狐狸讀書：董啟章隨筆集一》和《刺蝟讀書：董啟章隨筆集二》。作者希望這些文章藉此結集成書，作為自己多年創作的旁證。
