A Brief History of Seven Killings pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
Marlon James is a Jamaican-born writer. He has published three novels: John Crow's Devil (2005), The Book of Night Women (2009) and A Brief History of Seven Killings (2014), winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize. Now living in Minneapolis, James teaches literature at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.
James was born in Kingston, Jamaica, to parents who were both in the Jamaican police: his mother (who gave him his first prose book, a collection of stories by O. Henry) became a detective and his father (from whom James took a love of Shakespeare and Coleridge) a lawyer. James is a 1991 graduate of the University of the West Indies, where he read Language and Literature. He received a master's degree in creative writing from Wilkes University (2006).
James has taught English and creative writing at Macalester College since 2007. His first novel, John Crow's Devil — which was rejected 70 times before being accepted for publication — tells the story of a biblical struggle in a remote Jamaican village in 1957. His second novel, The Book of Night Women, is about a slave woman's revolt in a Jamaican plantation in the early 19th century. His most recent novel, 2014's A Brief History of Seven Killings, explores several decades of Jamaican history and political instability through the perspectives of many narrators. It won the fiction category of the 2015 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature and the 2015 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, having been the first book by a Jamaican author ever to be shortlisted. He is the second Caribbean winner of the prize, following Trinidad-born V. S. Naipaul who won in 1971.

WINNER OF THE 2015 MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION From the acclaimed author of The Book of Night Women comes a masterfully written novel that explores the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in the late 1970s.
On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert, gunmen stormed his house, machine guns blazing. The attack nearly killed the Reggae superstar, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Marley would go on to perform at the free concert on December 5, but he left the country the next day, not to return for two years.
Deftly spanning decades and continents and peopled with a wide range of characters—assassins, journalists, drug dealers, and even ghosts—A Brief History of Seven Killings is the fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time and its bloody aftermath, from the streets and slums of Kingston in the 70s, to the crack wars in 80s New York, to a radically altered Jamaica in the 90s. Brilliantly inventive and stunningly ambitious, this novel is a revealing modern epic that will secure Marlon James’ place among the great literary talents of his generation.

难看。选材难看，用词难看，脏话不是问题，问题是你为什么说脏话，这个动机很难看。 每一句脏话都和女性生殖器密切相关。让我很是怀疑，牙买加男人是不是嘴上不挂女性生殖器没法说话。词语多贫乏，人的精神就有多野蛮。 布克奖的态度严肃吗？并不。至少这一届不是。七杀简史取...
評分首先，我必须明确指出，这篇文章是写给对文学以及写作感兴趣的人，我将试着通过几方面来证明这本书为什么能拿布克奖，以及你可以通过它学到什么。所以，与其说是这是书评，倒不如说这是文学写作教程。当然，以我粗浅的学识是断不配用“教程”这个词的，因而，应该称其为：业余...
評分说实话，这本书并不是那么好读。 一切都很陌生，陌生的国度、陌生的历史背景、陌生的语言环境，完全没有代入感，甚至很多词都闻所未闻，不得不边读边百度，补足背景知识的缺失。 当初想读这本书是因为这是2015年布克奖的获奖作品，在我印象中，入选布克奖就意味着这本书有很强...

評分每一部文学作品都是作者和读者之间的隔空斗智，作者开出题目，由读者进行解答。如果作者的谜题很容易被猜中，那么他会遭到读者的耻笑。相反，如果作者的题目构思巧妙，令人拍案叫绝，那么读者也会给予作者以极高的评价。这本《七杀简史》显然属于后一种情况。 打开这本厚如词典...
用戶評價
這本書剛開始讀/聽的時候很不適應，粗口，暴力，各式人物齣場，一下子都不知道故事在哪裏。後來越聽反而越順瞭。作者講述故事的方式，以及涉及到的三教九流的各式人物。自覺不自覺的，就會有自己比較偏愛的角色。我最喜歡的是齣場叫Nina，後來改名Kim, Dorcas的女生。覺得她很直接，並且還有一絲絲善良。有聲書的幾個朗讀者把幾個角色演繹得惟妙惟肖，加上非常有衝擊力的語言，聽這本書真是一個非常奇妙的體驗。
评分太他媽飛瞭，一不留神就糊你一臉。這兩天我說話都開始I man/bredren/go so瞭。牙買加英語很有趣，髒得可愛，髒得有創意。
评分準備看一下。
