Form Follows Fever. It is the earliest discussion of planning priorities and construction methods at the beginning of the British Colony.
SARS was identified first in China in November 2002 but the World Health Organisation (WHO) was notified of the outbreak in February and issued a global alert in March 2003 then in July 2003 declared SARS ‘contained’ though cases were reported until May 2004. Worldwide 8,000+ people were infected resulting in 774 deaths.
Coronavirus Pandemic The global COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was discovered in Wuhan, Hubei province in late December 2019. The same genus as SARS. It spread to other areas of Asia then worldwide in 2020. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020. It was assessed as having become a pandemic on 11 March 2020 and having ended in May 2023.

去日本旅行,香港人經常戲稱為「返鄉下」,咁,鄉下嘅文學,大家有冇讀過?十月的讀書會,將會分析比較日本作家村上春樹兩篇不同時期的短篇小說:早期的〈圖書館奇譚〉及中後期的〈Drive My Car〉。作為一頁舟的讀書會,閱讀前者- 一篇關於圖書館的故事 - 最自然不過,但究竟那「羊男」代表什麼?那些超現實主義的插圖又有何用意?後者被翻拍成三小時的大長篇,並贏得奧斯卡最佳外語片殊榮,但其實原汁原味的村上版只有五十頁;不過,不論是文字版或電影版,都似乎跟駕駛沒有太大關係。那麼,其實村上的作品想講什麼?他作為最多人認識的當代日本作家,沒有之一,但一個人持續寫作快將五十年,應該怎樣比較他不同時期的作品?
如有興趣,亦可參加十一月一頁舟書展的特別分享會「村上春樹產業」。
