In New York's Long Island, in the unpredictable decade of the 1960s, a young boy laments the approaching close of summer and the advent of sixth grade. Growing up in a household with an overworked father whom he rarely sees, an alcoholic mother who paints wonderful canvases that are never displayed, an older brother who serves as both tormentor and protector, and a younger sister who inhabits her own secret world, the boy takes his amusements where he can find them. Some of his free time is spent in the basement of the family's modest home, where he and his brother, Jim, have created Botch Town, a detailed cardboard replica of their community, complete with clay figurines representing friends and neighbors. And so the time passes with a not-always-reassuring sameness—until the night a prowler is reported stalking the neighborhood.
Appointing themselves ad hoc investigators, the brothers set out to aid the police—while their little sister, Mary, smokes cigarettes, speaks in other voices, inhabits alternate personas . . . and, unbeknownst to her older siblings, moves around the inanimate residents of Botch Town. But ensuing events add a shadowy cast to the boys' night games: disappearances, deaths, and spectral sightings capped off by the arrival of a sinister man in a long white car trawling the neighborhood after dark. Strangest of all is the inescapable fact that every one of these troubling occurrences seems to correspond directly to the changes little Mary has made to the miniature town in the basement.

评分看的科幻世界译文版,辨识度很高的美式小镇阴郁童年,有种挥之不去的梦魇气氛~
评分201804;4-4.5,有半颗星是为了拉高一下评分的(以及大概有一整年没有略微能看的奇幻小说了)虽然作者有些地方故意隐去太多导致阅读障碍(尤其废镇的设置),但只有以(尝试)这样的方式来写奇幻文学才不至于沦为地摊读物吧。酗酒的母亲、人格分裂的妹妹、压抑的学校生活、游荡在小镇的连环杀手,这种童年幻想与阴影的交织始终都是我的菜。最后里面提到的Herman's Hermits;我曾经淘到过的打口碟啊!帝国主义时代的时空混乱。
评分2018.04,旧年最后一天看这本“童年伴随黑暗往事结束”青少年小说(?还挺应景的,开头可算上佳,中间实在太冗了,临到结局才看出来一点JF的味道……
评分写得一般,翻译得也不行,自传意味很强,充满老朽与感伤气息的美国60年代童年,到处洒落着生活的碎片,导致流畅性有点差,但整体的结构又非常统一。美国人看或许能看出更多门道。
