Special Topics in Calamity Physics 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
周二去王府井外文书店兜了一圈,看到平装的Special Topics in Calamity Physics,定价7点99美元,人民币64元,就买了一本。彭伦早先在博客里说中译本明年年初出。书店里也有Achebe的Things Fall Apart,刚好也出现在这本书的目录里,是第29章的标题。 看掉了前言和第一章,确...
评分不知道是我的阅读能力与品位问题,还是本书翻译问题(英文原版貌似本身就写得够叫人抓狂,这翻译再这么一整,噩梦!),这本书对我而言真的是灾难。 不用扎实的叙事手法,而是每3,4行就满天星空的引经据典, 从科普《常见昆虫》的桥段,一会又跑到纳鲁达的《二十四首情诗和...
评分阅读这本书的过程就如同它的情节一般曲折。 首先是老婆大人从图书馆的书架上始终被我无视的角落里抽出了这本书递到我面前 —— “看名字像是你会喜欢的书。”看名字的确如此。虽然封面上那句“让我想起我逝去的叛逆少女时代”让我疑虑丛生,我还是把它带回了家。 接着,开始...
评分 评分我把它当作一个美丽的故事来阅读。美国盛行阴谋论——这其实是勇气的十足表现形式。很难在其他地方找到这种不折不扣的生命力,这是年轻化的、聪明的质地,不是海明威的历尽沧桑。 怀念学院的气息,写一篇与论文结合的小说,那就用一系列注释做形容词。正在想念相隔遥远时空的学...

This mesmerizing debut, uncannily uniting the trials of a postmodern upbringing with a murder mystery, heralds the arrival of a vibrant new voice in literary fiction
Special Topics in Calamity Physics is a darkly hilarious coming-of-age novel and a richly plotted suspense tale told through the distinctive voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer. After a childhood moving from one academic outpost to another with her father (a man prone to aphorisms and meteoric affairs), Blue is clever, deadpan, and possessed of a vast lexicon of literary, political, philosophical, and scientific knowledge—and is quite the cineaste to boot. In her final year of high school at the elite (and unusual) St. Gallway School in Stockton, North Carolina, Blue falls in with a charismatic group of friends and their captivating teacher, Hannah Schneider. But when the drowning of one of Hannah's friends and the shocking death of Hannah herself lead to a confluence of mysteries, Blue is left to make sense of it all with only her gimlet-eyed instincts and cultural references to guide—or misguide—her.
Structured around a syllabus for a Great Works of Literature class and containing ironic visual aids (drawn by the author), Pessl's debut novel is complex yet compelling, erudite yet accessible. It combines the suspense of Hitchcock, the self-parody of Dave Eggers, and the storytelling gifts of Donna Tartt with a dazzling intelligence and wit entirely Pessl's own.
