This mesmerizing debut, uncannily uniting the trials of a postmodern upbringing with a murder mystery, heralds the arrival of a vibrant new voice in literary fiction
Special Topics in Calamity Physics is a darkly hilarious coming-of-age novel and a richly plotted suspense tale told through the distinctive voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer. After a childhood moving from one academic outpost to another with her father (a man prone to aphorisms and meteoric affairs), Blue is clever, deadpan, and possessed of a vast lexicon of literary, political, philosophical, and scientific knowledge—and is quite the cineaste to boot. In her final year of high school at the elite (and unusual) St. Gallway School in Stockton, North Carolina, Blue falls in with a charismatic group of friends and their captivating teacher, Hannah Schneider. But when the drowning of one of Hannah's friends and the shocking death of Hannah herself lead to a confluence of mysteries, Blue is left to make sense of it all with only her gimlet-eyed instincts and cultural references to guide—or misguide—her.
Structured around a syllabus for a Great Works of Literature class and containing ironic visual aids (drawn by the author), Pessl's debut novel is complex yet compelling, erudite yet accessible. It combines the suspense of Hitchcock, the self-parody of Dave Eggers, and the storytelling gifts of Donna Tartt with a dazzling intelligence and wit entirely Pessl's own.

评分 评分中文版有534页，还是大开本，英文平装本有736页。 关于翻译，吹毛求疵地叨叨一下： 1 书中有个女生叫Jade，商务印书馆出的《英语姓名译名手册》中还真把它翻译成“杰德”。但是，如果把女主人公Blue翻译成“蓝蓝”而不是译名手册中的“布卢”，又何妨把Jade翻译成小翠呢？ 2...
评分我把它当作一个美丽的故事来阅读。美国盛行阴谋论——这其实是勇气的十足表现形式。很难在其他地方找到这种不折不扣的生命力，这是年轻化的、聪明的质地，不是海明威的历尽沧桑。 怀念学院的气息，写一篇与论文结合的小说，那就用一系列注释做形容词。正在想念相隔遥远时空的学...
