短篇小說集《春望》（素葉出版社）出版。

對《我城》的最初認識，大概是「城籍」，還有火車卡門上的「有」字牌。這次《我城》成為「我城我書」的年度選書，忽然多了個重讀《我城》的理由，我才看見先前沒有留意的部分，尤其是《我城》中的憂鬱。我在想，如果《我城》有續篇，西西又會如何書寫2020年的香港？ 但我知道，西西是不會希望我們都變成「『勿』快樂」的。正如《我城》中的母親所言：「看日出，就像是尋找一個希望」。於是，我嘗試搜尋《我城》裡的「希望」。我發現，《我城》裡的「希望」都與「種植」和「建造」有關。一如囚友種樹、青年們在郊外種植電話柱，還有阿髮發現玻璃花園…… 所以，我希望，這些「希望」能像木馬道一號那座被包裹的鋼琴一樣，再抬出來的時候，能發聲，能再次被聽見。 陳燕怡 香港教育大學文學及文化學系博士資格候選人
