中外文學作品中,有哪些描繪使用「藥物」與「致幻劑」後精彩的段落?
文學作品中,推薦Aldous Huxley的小說《The Doors of Perception:Heaven and Hell》,裡面詳細描述了他本人服用Mescalin之後的體驗。。。
但想要真正了解Hallucinogens,就要知其整個領域的發展史、化學藥理信息以及社會環境,建議從專業書籍入手,推薦以下三位藥理學家的作品:
1、被譽為「L S D之父」的Albert Hofmann的回憶錄《LSD:My Problem Child》,書上有作者本人及其它參與實驗人員所記錄下的體驗;(已有中文譯本)
2、Rick Strassman的臨床筆記總結《DMT:The Spirit Molecule》,其中有大量的受試者訪談記錄;
3、藥理學界的傳奇人物,也被譽為「M D M A之父」的Alexander Shulgin夫婦所著的《PiHKAL:A Chemical Love Story》和《TiHKAL:The Continuation》,其中也有其本人親歷的人體試驗記錄。
《裸體午餐》《神經喚術士》
最著名的應該是垮掉一代的代表作家。
William S. Burroughs 的&下面這段節選自《赤裸午餐》,雖然不是直接描寫使用體驗,但也很精彩:
The end result of complete cellular respiration is cancer. Democracy is cancerous, and bureaus are its cancer. A bureau takes root anywhere in the state, turns malignant like the Narcotic Bureau, and grows and grows, always reproducing more of its own kind, until it chokes the host if not controlled or excised. Bureaus cannot live without a host, being true parasitic organisms. (A cooperative on the other hand can live without the state. That is the road to follow. The building up of independent units to meet needs of the people who participate in the functioning of the unit. A bureau operates on opposite principles of inventing needs to justify its existence.) Bureaucracy is wrong as a cancer, a turning away from the human evolutionary direction of infinite potentials and differentiation and independent spontaneous action to the complete parasitism of a virus. (It is thought that the virus is a degeneration from more complex life-form. It may at one time have been capable of independent life. Now has fallen to the borderline between living and dead matter. It can exhibit living qualities only in a host, by using the life of another — the renunciation of life itself, a falling towards inorganic, inflexible machine, towards dead matter.) Bureaus die when the structure of the state collapse. They are as helpless and unfit for independent existence as a displaced tapeworm, or a virus that has killed the host.Pink Floyd!!
不說別的了,貼個歌詞自己體會吧:
Hello,
Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home?Come on
Now I hear you"re feeling down I can ease your pain Get you on your feet againRelax
I"ll need some information first
Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts?There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship"s smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move But I can"t hear what you"re saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just likeTwo balloons
Now I"ve got that feeling once again I can"t explain You would not understand This is not how I am I... Have become comfortably numb赫胥黎的《眾妙之門》,看了下只有台版,還是繁體豎排版的:http://book.douban.com/subject/1763860/
島田莊司《異邦騎士》。涉及核心詭計。
亨利·米勒 《北回歸線》
加州旅館,有種解釋是其實是在寫這部分感覺
最著名的要數 Beatles 的 Lucy in the Sky with Diamond, 其歌名的字母縮寫就是 LSD,可在當時 Lennon 予以否認與藥物有關;在2004年 Paul McCartney 的一次訪談中卻承認其與藥物的相關性,以及多首關於藥物的歌曲, 例如 Got to Get You into My Life,Day Tripper 等。當然他們並不是一支的迷幻樂隊,迷幻樂隊也並不都依賴藥物。
文學上, Alice In Wonderland / 愛麗絲夢遊仙境一定是, 比如以下文中的描寫
"When the men on the chessboard get up / And tell you where to go / And you"ve just had some kind of mushroom / And your mind is moving low / Go ask Alice, I think she"ll know."
赫胥黎《美麗新世界》《眾妙之門》
Space Oddity…
講述了一位宇航員在太空中因為設備故障而永久漂流的故事
但我猜他在感受到宇宙的壯闊之後選擇了主動斷開與指揮中心的聯繫,不再回家
