Mark Haddon is a British novelist and poet, best known for his 2003 novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. He was educated at Uppingham School and Merton College, Oxford, where he studied English.
In 2003, Haddon won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and in 2004, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Overall Best First Book for his novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, a book which is written from the perspective of a boy with Aspergers syndrome. Haddon's knowledge of Aspergers syndrome, a type of autism, comes from his work with autistic people as a young man. In an interview at Powells.com, Haddon claimed that this was the first book that he wrote intentionally for an adult audience; he was surprised when his publisher suggested marketing it to both adult and child audiences. His second adult-novel, A Spot of Bother, was published in September 2006.
Mark Haddon is also known for his series of Agent Z books, one of which, Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars, was made into a 1996 Children's BBC sitcom. He also wrote the screenplay for the BBC television adaptation of Raymond Briggs's story Fungus the Bogeyman, screened on BBC1 in 2004. He also wrote the 2007 BBC television drama Coming Down the Mountain.
Haddon is a vegetarian, and enjoys vegetarian cookery. He describes himself as a 'hard-line atheist'. In an interview with The Observer, Haddon said "I am atheist in a very religious mould". His atheism might be inferred from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time in which the main character declares that those who believe in God are stupid.

如果克里斯托弗是个在我身边真实存在的孩子,我想我也会像他母亲那样无奈,甚至讨厌他。一个自闭症男孩往往是什么都不解释的,只有当他用自己的语言坦白的解释一切时,读者才可以按照他的逻辑去理解他。读的过程中我时常把他的行为和理论拆解开来,撇去理论,所剩下的行为就可...
评分这是本有点奇特的书,因为书中的男孩子是个天才型智障。数学好得出奇,脑袋里成天都是数字和图形游戏。 但是怕人多,容易紧张,受刺激了会大叫(有点像雨人) 而且怪癖不少,讨厌黄色,喜欢红色,恪守生活规律,要是规律被打破了就受不了(也像雨人呢,呵呵)。 邻居家的狗被插...

评分这又是一本难以定论的书,喜欢的人会非常喜欢,不喜欢的人会觉得莫名其妙吧。我是喜欢看的。宣传称此书在销量榜上打败过《哈里波特》,还获得过许多图书奖,虽然可能有夸大的嫌疑,但在我看来还是有理由的。只不过,这样口味特别的书,居然能赢得大众的欢迎,看来大众的口味也...
评分因为职业的关系,时不时地要和一些别人眼里的“病”人打交道。有时需要一些专门的理论和技术,才能更好地理解这些人的想法。但是学了这么多年,我越发觉得,比起理论和技术,更为重要的一点是态度上的诚实。 我印象非常深刻的一次案例督导,一个中学女生被诊断为精神分裂症,原...

Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

评分原本期待是略eccentric的小说而已。看到后来超预期了!从自闭症孩子的视角来写life's shit很特别(并不是说这孩子是他父母的负担)。4.5星,半星扣在有些地方略有“卖宅”的嫌疑。
评分这种书看多了就觉得有点无聊。(此书有一附加优点,旅行时作鼠标垫用极佳)
评分一个亚斯伯格综合症患者的独白,从患者视角出发的语言文本,这本书里一切修辞手法都是非metaphor而是simile的;在慢慢了解这类症候群患者的同时,也觉得最难过的其实是身边人,父亲的角色最令人心碎——无法感知的痛苦和无法沟通的绝望,儿子做过最美的梦却是世上所有的人都因中电脑病毒死光,独自享有整个世界。
