In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines masterful storytelling with his unrivaled skill at characterization and his meticulous eye for detail to forge a novel of dazzling ambition and scope. On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven unnamed gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but rumors abounded regarding the assassins’ fates. A Brief History of Seven Killings is James’s fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. Deftly spanning decades and continents and peopled with a wide range of characters—assassins, drug dealers, journalists, and even ghosts—James brings to life the people who walked the streets of 1970s Kingston, who dominated the crack houses of 1980s New York, and who reemerged into a radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Brilliantly inventive, A Brief History of Seven Killings is an “exhilarating” (The New York Times) epic that’s been called “a tour de force” (The Wall Street Journal).

读后感
本篇不含剧透，没看过书的也可以放心看。 因为深受美国文化影响，牙买加的黑道教父们也被称为唐。不同于《教父》中冷酷优雅的暴力，贫民窟的暴力是最原始的，也是最野蛮的。 《七杀简史》讲述的就是那么一段原始野蛮的暴力。 虽然它自称讲述了七次杀戮，但其实死的人不计取...
评分说实话，这本书并不是那么好读。 一切都很陌生，陌生的国度、陌生的历史背景、陌生的语言环境，完全没有代入感，甚至很多词都闻所未闻，不得不边读边百度，补足背景知识的缺失。 当初想读这本书是因为这是2015年布克奖的获奖作品，在我印象中，入选布克奖就意味着这本书有很强...
评分每一部文学作品都是作者和读者之间的隔空斗智，作者开出题目，由读者进行解答。如果作者的谜题很容易被猜中，那么他会遭到读者的耻笑。相反，如果作者的题目构思巧妙，令人拍案叫绝，那么读者也会给予作者以极高的评价。这本《七杀简史》显然属于后一种情况。 打开这本厚如词典...
评分读《七杀简史》的过程，是一种感觉随时可能“失控”的过程，是的，你随时感觉快要跟不上故事的节奏和线索了，读这本小说，你要么不读，要读就不能间断太多，得快些读完，否则就会再捧起读了一半的书时，有种千头万绪不知从何处开始的感觉。同时，这也是一本品味上独特的小说，...
