4:34 PM - The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

小說


一本頗為容易閱讀的小說,因為文字比較簡單和暢順,題材也很特別。有一段很長的時間沒有看小說了,因為懼怕艱深的文字,又怕悶。亦有幾本買了回家後,沒看得上幾個chapter便放下,也是因為覺得沉悶。

Curious Incident以一宗狗的謀殺案作開始,由一位類似rainman的15歲主角敘述整個故事。主人翁就讀特殊教育學校,天賦對數字演算,解決邏輯問題等天份,但對解決日常的生活,待人接物等卻是弄得一團糟。感覺上有點像catcher in the rye的特殊版。內容有很多小故事說明主角的思路,譬如The Monty Hall problem,福爾麼斯故事內的線索,或人腦的結構等,富邏輯性,亦很有趣味。故事由特殊小孩的觀點出發,角度新鮮,也帶出他身邊的父母、老師等和他相處所產生的問題和苦惱。這是英國作家Mark Haddon第一本小說,這本書的成功,應該在日後看到他更多的作品。
