作者簡介:
韋格布里 weegbree
韋格布里生活、熱愛並工作於荷蘭鹿特丹。正如她名字所取自的草本植物車前草(ribwort plantain),韋格布里最適合在日常生活的場所中茁壯生長,也就是人們聚集、分享故事的地方,如餐桌、公園和廣場。寫作小說,是她想像另一種更具集體性的未來的方式。她同時也是非正式客廳ook_huis的發起人和主持人,這是一個致力於踐行鄰里主義、培育集體行動力的空間。
Weegbree lives, loves and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Like the herbaceous plant of the same name (ribwort plantain), weegbree thrives best in everyday places where people congregate and share stories, such as kitchen tables, parks, and squares. Writing fiction is one way for weegbree to imagine other, more collective futures. She is also initiator and host of the informal livingroom ook_huis, a house dedicated to practicing neighbourism and fostering collective agency.

內容簡介:
《證據村》是一則兼具寓言氣質與政治隱喻的當代童話。故事發生在一個高度自治的農業自治村落:這裡以「測量見分曉」為信條,秩序、分類與確定性被奉為最高價值,傳統通過制度、習俗與空間規劃一代代延續。證據村排斥模糊、偶然與偏差,任何無法被命名、衡量或歸類的事物,都會被視為威脅。祖瑪的誕生,正是這種威脅的顯現。她外表並無異常,卻因一雙「蘊含過多不確定性」的眼睛而引發集體不安;她的性別在出生時無法被准確判定,也悄然撼動了村莊賴以維繫的統計邏輯與因果秩序。
故事並不急於制造戲劇性衝突,而是通過冷靜、細密的描寫,展示一個看似理性、穩定的共同體,如何在面對無法解釋的個體時,逐步顯露其排他性與暴力內核。來自荷蘭的寫作者Weegbree采用克制而精准的語言,用帶有近乎人類學式的觀察視角:對田野劃分、作物分類、道路結構和公共雕塑的描寫層層推進,使「秩序」本身成為一種可被感知的存在。同時,文本又不斷在細節中埋下裂縫──松鼠雕塑、風向標、關於災疫的集體記憶──暗示理性背後潛藏的恐懼與迷信。而插畫師Drawmama則通過繪畫延展了這種曖昧而不安的氛圍,使文本的寓言性更為可觸。
總的來說,《證據村》不僅講述了一個關於孩子、村莊與規則的故事,也提出了更為當下的問題:當社會以消除不確定性為目標時,誰會被視為「多餘」的存在?我們又該如何面對那些無法被證明、卻真實存在的差異?
The Village of Proof is a contemporary fairy tale set in a meticulously organised farming community where certainty is sacred and tradition rules. When little Zulma is born with eyes that “produce uncertainty”, the village’s carefully measured order begins to crack.
Written by Rotterdam-based writer weegbree and illustrated by Indonesian artist drawmama, this book unfolds like a quiet allegory—cool, precise, and unsettling. Through fields, classifications, monuments, and rituals, Proof asks an urgent question of our time:
When a society is built to eliminate uncertainty, who becomes intolerable?
Jointly published by 51 Personae & ook_, The Village of Proof is a political fairy tale about order, exclusion, and the violence hidden inside “reason”.
