WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2003 WINNER OF THE 2003 WHITBREAD FIRST NOVEL PRIZE Named as one of the 100 Best Things in the World by GQ magazine in 2003, the riotous adventures of Vernon Gregory Little in small town Texas and beachfront Mexico mark one of the most spectacular, irreverent and bizarre debuts of the 21st century so far. Its depiction of innocence and simple humanity (all seasoned with a dash of dysfunctional profanity) in an evil world is never less than astonishing. The only novel to be set in the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas, Vernon God Little suggests that desperate times throw up the most unlikely of heroes. 'A showpiece of superb comic writing ...Out of the detritus of a morally bankrupt society, Pierre has fashioned a work of comic art.' Sunday Telegraph 'In a just world, this ridiculously funny first novel would come free with every television set ...Not since reading John Kennedy O'Toole's masterpiece, A Confederacy of Dunces ...have I laughed so much or felt such sheer delight at the discovery of a wholly fresh comic voice ...this novel reads like a modern day fairytale.' Mail on Sunday
DBC Pierre lives in County Leitrim, Ireland. Vernon God Little, his debut novel, won the MAN Booker Prize and the Whitbread First Novel Award. Ludmila's Broken English, his second, was published in 2006.
DBC means dirty but clean. 这是获得2003年布克奖的英国“绅士”皮埃尔为自己唯一的一本书取的笔名。这位仁兄把dirty 和clean这一对差之千里,谬之毫厘的词汇用一个简单的but 纠结在一起,不论书写与读音都不象想像起来那么拧巴,甚至还弥漫着一种意味深长的欢愉。 《弗农小...
評分虽是作者的处女作,但也是2003年布克奖得主。这次写作很任性,但连珠炮一般出现的绝妙比喻已经表露出作者非同一般的黑色幽默,让你无法不联想到《猜火车》或《两杆大烟枪》之类的意象。或者说,是关于黑色青春期的。 故事非常有针砭性。发生在校园里的一场枪击案中,墨西哥...
評分弗农小上帝 另一个美国人写的另一本《麦田里的守望者》,这听起来并不是一个好主意。当年,J.D.塞林格写完那本使他名扬世界的书之后,凭借着巨额版税销声匿迹,用铁丝网和狼狗来对付记者,并且逐渐由一个“青春小说写手”变成了短篇小说大师——《九故事》的优秀,使纳博...
評分 評分一幅当代美国风情画? 孙仲旭 近年来在中国,外国文学奖在知名度上,英国的布克奖可能仅次于瑞典的诺贝尔奖,于是我们不仅能及时得知布克奖的颁奖消息,迟一点,我们也能读到获奖作品的中译本。新出版的《弗农小上帝》便是2003年布克奖获奖图书。 此书当年的获奖就引起了很...
