第十一屆時報文學獎，決審委員評論王鼎鈞散文集《左心房漩渦》時曾指出，其筆調融合悲愴與幽默，自然的顯現出流離的不安的經驗，與歲月磨鍊的人生智慧。本文以為，不惟《左心房漩渦》呈現上述特色。事實上，若以幽默筆調特徵而言，王鼎鈞憶及生命遭際性質的散文，如《回憶錄四部曲》等亦不時可見作者以幽默筆調，舉重若輕的方式，將原本嚴肅沉重的事件，用一種氣定神閒的淡然口吻敘述，對照出箇中艱難，也使艱難的意味益發深遠，交織出更複雜的滋味。此外，作者早年出版的散文集《碎琉璃》，內容亦涉及其流亡離散的生命經歷，同樣有著幽默的敘述筆調。本文即以王鼎鈞的散文集《碎琉璃》和《回憶錄四部曲》為研究範圍，探究其散文中的幽默筆調。
