講座摘要 Abstract:

從港島線地鐵、油尖旺唐樓到奢華遊艇會，再至桃花源般的無重小島

From the Island Line MTR, to the Yau Tsim Mong Tenement, to the luxurious Yacht Club, to a weightless island.

▌在地鐵起飛的烏鴉女孩，是平行宇宙裡的另一個自己？

The girl with the crows flying in the subway is another self in a parallel universe?

▌長頸鹿男孩與哭泣的衣櫃，藏著都市男女不敢說的焦慮？

The giraffe boy and the crying wardrobe are the hidden anxieties that urban men and women dare not talk about?

▌小島的雲吃人不吐渣滓，但比不過中環寫字樓的隱形吞噬？

The clouds on a small island can eat people without spitting out their dregs, but not as much as the invisible eating of the office buildings in Central?
