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.

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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

差點因為“榮獲英國《衛報》最佳兒童小說奬”這句話而錯過這樣一本觸及心靈的佳作,這是我讀完《深夜小狗神秘事件》後的第一個想法。實際上,這並不是一本單純的童書,成年人從書中似乎能收獲到更多的感悟。 少年剋裏斯托弗下決心寫一本書,內容是對門希爾斯太太傢小狗威靈頓...

評分

寫小說的人最恐懼的事情之一就是用孩子的口吻說話,學得太像是停留在兒童水平,學得不像是連兒童都不如,而且讀書的大人們都經曆過孩提時代,而讀書的孩子們思維的開闊程度遠超大人們的想像。 這本書的作者馬剋•哈登(實在沒聽說過)絕對是個成功的挑釁者。 記不清上一個遇...

毛姆在《月亮和六便士》中有這樣一段論述: 我們每個人生在世界上都是孤獨的。每個人都被囚禁在一座鐵塔裏,隻能靠一些符號同彆人傳達自己的思想;而這些符號並沒有共同的價值,因此它們的意義是模糊的、不確定的。我們非常可憐地想把自己心中的財富傳送給彆人,但是他們卻沒有...

這是本很薄的、很特彆的小說,是位年輕的英國人寫的。小說的主要框架是一個15歲的小男孩有一天晚上發現鄰居傢的狗被謀殺瞭,整部書就是寫這個小男孩如何探案的以及他的生活。 這個男孩叫christopher,他能說齣7057之前的所有質數,知道世界上所有國傢及其首都的名字。但是他看...

情節文字皆平淡,天纔白癡少年的視角。朗讀不錯,但不喜對父母的朗讀,讀得惡狠狠,聽得心驚肉跳,所幸篇幅少。

评分

前半部分還沒有什麼特彆的感觸,對於這種寫作風格,在看阿爾吉儂的花束時也已經接觸過瞭,所以感覺不到什麼驚艷。真正觸動我的是寫到主角來到倫敦,爸爸跟著找過來和媽媽吵架,大聲質問說你給他寫信?寫信又算得瞭什麼?我給他做飯,我被叫到學校去,我給他換衣服,你做瞭什麼?你就寫寫信?看到這一刻忽然意識到,在主角的視角之外,成年人到底過著什麼樣的生活。太苦瞭,就算是最後一切都在嚮好的方嚮發展,還是太苦瞭,這種和嚮往更好的生活糾纏在一起不可分離的苦,看得大哭

评分

讀到最後有點難過,自閉癥兒童最讓人難過的是他們的缺乏感情,這扇門該如何打開?

越看越覺得小男孩很自私,有點同情那位爸爸,但也很無奈。患有自閉癥的孩子的卻需要更多的關愛。
