客窗闲话
吴炽昌
笔记小说。清吴炽昌撰。正续集各八卷，共十六卷，一百○五篇。有些篇章各有数则，实收笔记小说一百五十多篇。炽昌号芗厈居士，浙江盐官(今海宁)人。长白山人门生，后放弃科举之途，从事游幕生活。此书自序云：“仆好闲话，与客言言，奇闻轶事，告述连绵。自少而壮，前三十年。所闻所见，已付雕镌。自壮而老，又三十年。投仆所好，搜罗蕃宣，续成八卷，就正群贤。”可见此书写于乾隆末年或嘉庆初年，至道光末年止，前后经六十年之久。此书所辑多为清代中叶轶事逸闻。描写将军、总督、进士、举人、秀才、州官、小令、幕客、讼师、布贩、米商、农户、车夫、义丐、 卜者、小偷、娼妓、骗子等各种人物形象，还涉及乾隆东巡、嘉庆初年的白莲教起义、道光中的禁烟运动和乡勇在崇明抗击英国军舰等历史事件。如《呆官》、《鸾仙》、《书讼师》、《书安邑狱》等，揭露清代吏治窳败和刑名司法之黑暗;《场外孝廉》、《假和尚》揭露科举制度之弊端，《淮南宴客记》和《查商》反映盐商之穷奢极欲，都有一定深度。亦有神怪故事及迷信成分。叙事简明生动、或诙谐，或辨析，雅俗共赏，文笔遒劲，评者以之与《聊斋》与《阅微草堂笔记》比峙。有道光十九年(1839)初刻本(正集)，道光三
