Marisha Pessl graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University.
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.

評分中文版有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...
評分阅读这本书的过程就如同它的情节一般曲折。 首先是老婆大人从图书馆的书架上始终被我无视的角落里抽出了这本书递到我面前 —— “看名字像是你会喜欢的书。”看名字的确如此。虽然封面上那句“让我想起我逝去的叛逆少女时代”让我疑虑丛生,我还是把它带回了家。 接着,开始...
