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
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...
评分这是一本不好读的书，内容充满了意识流般的喃喃自语。叙事穿梭在不同的角色的自述中，有一种似曾相识的叙事方式。想了想和帕慕克那本出了名的《我的名字叫做红》。帕慕克是色彩斑斓的炫技，而本书让一个个虚构的角色活着或死去的人们吐槽，从而支撑这个复杂的“简史"。 我缺乏...
评分1976年。雷鬼是世界范围内的新声音。鲍勃·马利成为世界巨星；滚石乐队待在牙买加，试图将 Cherry Oh Baby 的愉快旋律加入他们的新专辑《黑与蓝》（Black and Blue），但有一首与众不同的歌曲讲述了那个时代的故事。 明日之星朱尼尔·马文（Junior Murvin）将自己演唱的歌曲Pol...
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，...
