　　本輯以鄭清文的小說與兒童文學為主題，承鄭清文女兒谷苑的協助，推薦具有代表性的小說暨兒童文學作品多篇，並請她寫一篇關於父親作品的文章〈A Storyteller—In Memory of Tzeng Ching-wen〉。散文方面，Taipei, City of Displacements（《錯置，臺北城》）的作者周文龍教授（Joseph R. Allen），對臺北的地理變遷和文化空間的歷史演變具有深入的研究，特地請他幫忙翻譯〈大水河畔的童年〉，相得益彰。其餘幾篇鄭清文之原著則分別由由長期耕耘台灣文學英譯的黃瑛姿、葛浩文（Howard Goldblatt）、林麗君、陶忘機（John Balcom）與羅德仁（Terence Russell）擔綱譯出。

For the essay, “Boyhood on the Banks of the Grand River,” we appreciate expert assistance from Joseph R. Allen, the author of Taipei: City of Displacements, a comprehensive study of Taipei with regard to its geographical changes and historical development in terms of cultural space.
