旅行寫作創造了旅行的記憶、或甚旅行的意義,但旅行寫作絕不只是旅行行為的副作用產品而已。這本文選所收錄的作品自有其美學素質,十八位作家各自呈現其別緻風貌……讀者閱讀的美感經驗將使這些旅行寫作成為永久的珍藏。

「旅行文學」的定義是什麼?我們是否已經建構對「旅行文學」的認知?「旅行文學」是否可以無限上綱,涵蓋各種書寫?──觀光、出走、考古、田野調查、自傳、回憶錄、返鄉、流放、流浪、流離與移居遷徙、親身的實証經驗與憑空的想像遨遊?對於定義、認知、結構、主題與文類等種種問題,我們則談得太少又太淺。旅行寫作創造了旅行的記憶、或甚旅行的意義,但旅行寫作絕不只是旅行行為所成就的一項副作用產品而已。

關於旅行與旅行文學,我們似乎談得太多又太少。
