在传统的侦探小说里,侦探的形象多半是衣着得体、睿智、冷静且口才了得,擅长在逆境中通过缜密的推理去破解迷案;随时代变化取而代之的犯罪小说中则完全是另一番景象,小说中出现的侦探多半时运不济,尤其是在如今这个可以依靠科技办案的年代,他们边缘化的存在甚至显得有些滑...

评分就故事本身来说,只是一个普通的侦探故事,并不复杂,相比起那些真正的推理小说,它的推理成分很少,线索之间的串联主要靠主人公的灵光一闪。 本书的亮点在于主人公是一个妥瑞氏症患者。所谓妥瑞氏症,就是患者会不由自主地挤眉弄眼、口吐脏话以及模仿他人。就拿主人公来说,...

Lionel Essrog is Brooklyn’s very own self-appointed Human Freakshow, an orphan whose Tourettic impulses drive him to bark, count, and rip apart our language in the most startling and original ways. Together with three veterans of the St. Vincent’s Home for Boys, he works for small-time mobster Frank Minna’s limo service cum detective agency. Life without Frank Minna, the charismatic King of Brooklyn, would be unimaginable, so who cares if the tasks he sets them are, well, not exactly legal. But when Frank is fatally stabbed, one of Lionel’s colleagues lands in jail, the other two vie for his position, and the victim’s widow skips town. Lionel’s world is suddenly topsy-turvy, and this outcast who has trouble even conversing attempts to untangle the threads of the case while trying to keep the words straight in his head. Motherless Brooklyn is a brilliantly original homage to the classic detective novel by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.
作者的写作风格很特别,或者是因为他描写的主人公有疾病的关系吧。一开始很难进入,坚持听到一半后,节奏加快,就好读很多了。

评分Very enjoyable and well-written (if somewhat light) new take on old-fashioned potboiler fiction. The narrator's Tourette's outbursts of free association are the high point, or at least were for me. I don't envy any Chinese translator who takes this one on -- it'll be a tough gig.
