Mark Haddon is a British novelist and poet, best known for his 2003 novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. He was educated at Uppingham School and Merton College, Oxford, where he studied English.
In 2003, Haddon won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and in 2004, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Overall Best First Book for his novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, a book which is written from the perspective of a boy with Aspergers syndrome. Haddon's knowledge of Aspergers syndrome, a type of autism, comes from his work with autistic people as a young man. In an interview at Powells.com, Haddon claimed that this was the first book that he wrote intentionally for an adult audience; he was surprised when his publisher suggested marketing it to both adult and child audiences. His second adult-novel, A Spot of Bother, was published in September 2006.
Mark Haddon is also known for his series of Agent Z books, one of which, Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars, was made into a 1996 Children's BBC sitcom. He also wrote the screenplay for the BBC television adaptation of Raymond Briggs's story Fungus the Bogeyman, screened on BBC1 in 2004. He also wrote the 2007 BBC television drama Coming Down the Mountain.
Haddon is a vegetarian, and enjoys vegetarian cookery. He describes himself as a 'hard-line atheist'. In an interview with The Observer, Haddon said "I am atheist in a very religious mould". His atheism might be inferred from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time in which the main character declares that those who believe in God are stupid.
Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
这本书,如果尚有可取之处,应该是作者老老实实地在用孩子的视角看世界。更显殊为不易的是,用一个自闭症少年数学天才的视角。 成人总是自以为是地为孩子“解说”世界,用自己喜欢的方式“掩饰”真相,有时甚至滥用权威。 慢慢地看,也许会有一些地方让人记起童年某个“神秘...
評分这又是一本难以定论的书,喜欢的人会非常喜欢,不喜欢的人会觉得莫名其妙吧。我是喜欢看的。宣传称此书在销量榜上打败过《哈里波特》,还获得过许多图书奖,虽然可能有夸大的嫌疑,但在我看来还是有理由的。只不过,这样口味特别的书,居然能赢得大众的欢迎,看来大众的口味也...

評分孤单的人都有丰富的内心世界,或许是内在性格使然、或许是沟通技巧欠缺,他们把对别人说的话、要表达的想法都留给了自己,表面上看他们是枯燥、羞涩甚至怪癖的人,而一旦我们走进他们的内心,就会惊讶的发现,其实他们是很有趣的人、有自己丰富的世界。《深夜小狗神秘事件》就...
仿佛心裏最不願意近人情的一部分因為能夠被敘述齣來而得到瞭安慰,而另一些還願意近人情的部分則感到自己應該更具同理心一點
评分真棒。毫不吝嗇5顆星。看到中間我纔想起來,eileen說要給@點點要長肉 推薦這本書看的。很久之前看瞭個開頭,第一章就從2.開始標序,很多段落以And I... And she...And then這種稚嫩的筆法開始,搞得我沒心情看下去。昨天無意中點開,居然捨不得停下來。自閉癥這個平行世界裏的思維,又加上小孩子好玩的點子拍成電影一定比《亞當》或《自閉曆程》好看。
