评分翻译后就没味道了,原文的精彩之处却变成了味同嚼蜡毫不押韵的文字堆砌,我当然不是质疑译者的水平,而是这类书本就不适合译成中文,有能力的朋友们还是看原版吧,应该是本好书,这是作者的成功,译者的煎熬,读者的郁闷,引进者的失败
评分读《布鲁克林孤儿》,其实就是通过那些含义不明却又能够显现角色内心的“污言秽语”去解读、去体会作者想让我们读懂的。 有些大家都能懂的话往往非真意,有些话你听不懂,但也许能体会。 Jonathan Lethem笔下的私探一定会被放置在十分怪诞的生理与心理特性处境中,在这样的处...

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.
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.

评分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。
