2009-04-01 アメリカという国の不思議さ。
_ アメリカという国はまことに不思議な国である。考えれば考えるほど不思議な国である。
振り返ってみれば,アメリカには3回ほどでかけ,そんなに長い期間ではないか滞在したことがある。いずれも海外学術研究という科学研究費をもらってでかけたものなので,そのつど,調査・研究を主眼にしてアメリカの大学のスタッフとの共同研究であった。長いときは3カ月,短くても1カ月の滞在だった。そのつど,びっくりするような体験が何回もあった。文化の違いとはいえ,そのあまりの違いに唖然としたことも少なくない。しかし,いわゆる表面的にはとても居心地のいいものであった。つまり,深入りしないで,おざなりの付き合いをするだけなら,とても紳士的で,自由で,快適なのである。しかし,一歩,かれらの生活の内部に踏み込むと,なかなかどうして一筋縄ではいかないことが多くなる。
何日か前,渋谷の本屋で,偶然,目に飛び込んできた水村美苗の『私小説fron left to right』と『日本語が亡びるとき』の2冊を購入して,読みはじめた。久しぶりに「買ってくれ」と声をかけられた本である。ときおり起こるわたしに起こる特異現象である。こういうときはなにかが起きる。これまでの例がそれを証明している。
まずは,『私小説』を読む。12歳でアメリカに家族とともに移住し,20年間の滞在を終えて帰国してくる女性の話である。もちろん,モデルは著者自身。アメリカという国になじめず,英語という言語にも抵抗があり,友達もなかなかできない,内気な少女が,日本からもっていった日本文学全集に没頭していく孤独な姿が描かれている。しかも,日本初のバイリンガル小説で,横書きである。本のつくりそのものもいろいろと新しい工夫がしてあり,この小説から受け取るものは少なくない。
この小説をとおして,わたしが感じ取ったものは,アメリカの孤独であり,独りひとりが孤立していて,いわゆる思いやりのこもったコミュニケーションが欠落しているために起こる悲劇の実態がみごとに浮き彫りにされていて,なんとも無限地獄のような日常である。わたしの少ないアメリカ滞在の経験と照らし合わせてみても,納得のいくことばかりである。なにか理解不能な人間集団であり,行動様式なのである。
これらは,オーストリアのウィーン(10カ月),ドイツのケルン(6カ月)などに滞在したときの経験とはまったく異質なものである。この違いをどのように説明したらいいのか,とてもむつかしい。が,いつか,きちんと整理しておきたいとは思っている。そのためには相当に長い文章を書く必要がある。こんなブログで処理できる問題ではないので,ここでは深入りはしないでおく。
いずれにしても,この『私小説』は,これまでに読んできた文学のどのパターンにも当てはまらない,まったく新しい文学のジャンルを切り開くものと言っていいだろう。そのだれも試みたことのない文学の新しい可能性にチャレンジしている,そののっぴきならない著者の姿勢が,強くわたしのこころを打つ。ぎりぎりのエッジに立ちながら,自己をみつめ,つねに危うさのなかでかろうじてバランスをとっていくしかない究極の「存在」を通過することによって見えてくる新しい地平から,この小説は語られる。
この小説が,なんと,『日本語が亡びるとき』の露払いになった,とのちに著者が語っている。つまり,『私小説』を書いているときには自覚していなかった大事なことを,無意識のうちに書き続けていた,というのである。「認識というものはずっとのちになって突然,その正体を現すことがある」と著者は『日本語が亡びるとき』のなかで告白している。
しばらくは水村美苗にとらわれの身となりそう・・・・。
