存在主義揭露人類生存的真相，心靈其貧弱與感受，反映出現實生活的窘迫與險峻。2012年張經宏推出短篇小說集《出不來的遊戲》，集結其文學獎得獎短篇，探討了親情、網路、買賣、販毒、民俗等議題，內容處處可見角色陷落現實與心靈的危難。基此，筆者立足存在主義精神，將《出不來的遊戲》歸納「疏離」、「孤絕」、「死亡」等困境類向，點出背後的生存意義。經由文本分析後亦發現，作者總不刻意描繪角色（人）的內心，喜以「事件」帶引「存在」的價值與思考，提供一「開放性空間」，任由各種徵象、想像、感受與意符生成。他以「舉重若輕」及「客觀疏離」筆法處理深沉議題，風格、內涵與形式近同第二十一屆聯合文學小說新人獎評審會議提出的「臺灣新寫實主義」。

Existentialism discloses the reality of human beings’ lives, mental fragility, and perception and reflects the stress and risk of realistic life. In 2012, Jing-hong Zhang introduced the Short Story Collection titled Indulged in a Game, which includes his short stories that have received awards and explores issues such as family affectionf Internet, online trading, drug trafficking and folk custom. It reveals the characters’ obstacles in reality and their mental state. Hence, based on existentialism, the researcher classifies the obstacle categories of Indulged in a Game into “alienation”, “solitude” and “death” and pinpoints the underlying significance of life. After text analysis, the researcher realizes that the author does not intentionally depict the mental states of the characters, but rather tends to introduce the values and thoughts of “existence” by “events” and develops an “open space” resulting in various signs, imagination, perception, and signifiers. By “sophisticated” and “objective and indifferent” approaches, he can cope with different heavy issues. His style, content, and genre are nearly consistent with the “neo-realism of Taiwan” proposed by a panel of judges for the 21st Unitas Award for New Novelists.
