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.
很早曾承诺为这本书写代序来着,很囧地拖到了写书评的时间,又拖着不肯写,突然发现文档里这几行字,就贴出来吧。 ------------ 后现代侦探的命运 侦探小说看多了,可以总结出几大套路来。疑凶必然不是真凶,逼真描写的必然不是真实,...
評分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...
評分不得不说妥瑞氏症是本书唯一的亮点。如果要给这本书分类的话,那么这肯定是一本医学科普书,让读者深刻的了解了妥瑞氏症的症状。不论这本书的销量如何,我还是坚持自己的观点,给这本书打上大大的差评。 无情节,无语言,唯一塑造了一个怪胎的主人公。已经很少看到这样受到美国...
評分孤儿。兄弟。黑帮。侦探。妥瑞氏症。抽动。 乔纳森·勒瑟姆的小说《布鲁克林孤儿》讲述了这样几个关键词。当然,如果用不同人的不同语言习惯和语言逻辑将以上词汇整理成句段的话,我想会有不同的侧重和结果。对这本小说的解读,也同样如此。 而我,则尝试着这样去整理:...

作者的寫作風格很特彆,或者是因為他描寫的主人公有疾病的關係吧。一開始很難進入,堅持聽到一半後,節奏加快,就好讀很多瞭。
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.
