"There's a caste system--even in murder" From the author of the international bestseller "Slumdog Millionaire" comes a richly-textured tale of murder, corruption, and opportunity. Seven years ago, Vivek "Vicky" Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered bartender Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi, simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai has been killed at the party he was throwing to celebrate his acquittal. The police recover six guests with guns in their possession: a corrupt bureaucrat who claims to have become Mahatma Gandhi overnight; an American tourist infatuated with an Indian actress; a stone-age tribesman on a quest to recover a sacred stone; a Bollywood sex-symbol with a guilty secret; a mobile-phone thief who dreams big; and an ambitious politician prepared to stoop low. Swarup unravels the lives and motives of the six suspects, offering both a riveting page-turner and an insightful peek into the heart of contemporary India. Audaciously and astutely plotted, with a panoramic imaginative sweep, "Six Suspects" is the work of a master storyteller.
Vikas Swarup is a member of the Indian Foreign Service. Originally published as Q&A, Slumdog Millionaire was an international bestseller. It has been translated into thirty-seven languages so far and was made into an award-wining Radio Four dramatization in 2006. His new novel, Six Suspects, has also been optioned for film. It is currently available as a Doubleday hardback and is due to be published as a Black Swan paperback in February 2009. Find out more about the author by visiting his website: www.vikasswarup.ne
《六个嫌疑人》讲述的是印度六个可能永远没有交集的不同阶层在卷入同一张社会利益关系网之后的奇遇经历。作者以包括引述、电话通话、日记等不同的叙述手法,直接刻画了当今印度社会赤裸裸的权钱关系和沦丧的道德观念。虽然艾可提(嫌疑人之一)的死让人有一种“善良引发...
评分如果没看《两杆大烟枪》、《11:14》、《疯狂的石头》等电影,会觉得本书作者这种平行叙事、多视角交汇重合的方法是一种创举,但第一次读到以这样结构编排的文学作品仍倍感欣慰,尤其是作者写六个嫌疑人的笔法都不相雷同又各尽其妙,比如对女星的描述以日记的形式,对...
评分读到艾可提死去的,我觉得太伤心了。他和昌比活在社会的最底层,但却拥有了世界上最真挚的爱情,而现实社会却总让最底层的人蒙受不白之冤,成为有钱人的替死鬼……
评分IT革命导致资讯过度膨胀,带来的一个后果是:无论你乐不乐意,都再没法闭上眼睛。无论你乐不乐意,必然会接受大量信息。无论你乐不乐意,就会了解其实未必想要知道的事情——有时是事实。 所以我在使用“恒河沙数”这个词时会皱起眉头,想到河中漂浮的、肚皮鼓胀的尸首。 小时...
