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.

毛姆在《月亮和六便士》中有这样一段论述: 我们每个人生在世界上都是孤独的。每个人都被囚禁在一座铁塔里,只能靠一些符号同别人传达自己的思想;而这些符号并没有共同的价值,因此它们的意义是模糊的、不确定的。我们非常可怜地想把自己心中的财富传送给别人,但是他们却没有...

因为职业的关系,时不时地要和一些别人眼里的“病”人打交道。有时需要一些专门的理论和技术,才能更好地理解这些人的想法。但是学了这么多年,我越发觉得,比起理论和技术,更为重要的一点是态度上的诚实。 我印象非常深刻的一次案例督导,一个中学女生被诊断为精神分裂症,原...

电脑坏了,于是不甘心的浏览房东mm的书架,想要找本有趣的书来读。 她翻出这本,封面简单童稚,有如小朋友读物。 漫不经心,停停走走,将到第10页,我大概确定主角小男生是个自闭症儿童。 可笑的是,豆瓣上某人写这本书的书评,把主角叫成智障。 对自闭症的理解从二宮和也的...

如果克里斯托弗是个在我身边真实存在的孩子,我想我也会像他母亲那样无奈,甚至讨厌他。一个自闭症男孩往往是什么都不解释的,只有当他用自己的语言坦白的解释一切时,读者才可以按照他的逻辑去理解他。读的过程中我时常把他的行为和理论拆解开来,撇去理论,所剩下的行为就可...

这本书其实几年前就看过,那时是很大的开本,书被借走后就再没出现。新书一到,立马入手,精致的小开本拿在手,又是一气读完。我知道老版本的读者中很多把这本书当成了悬疑故事而对其多有恶评。这多少可惜了这本书。其实,神秘的不是小狗,孩子的内心,比一切悬疑故事更...

一開始很喜歡 Christopher, 之後很喜歡爸爸。 "if you have difficult things in your life it is nice to think that they are what is called negligible"

說想看自閉癥兒童的第一人稱作品,然後被推薦瞭這本,前一半真的很喜歡,看完後反而不知道瞭

一個亞斯伯格綜閤癥患者的獨白,從患者視角齣發的語言文本,這本書裏一切修辭手法都是非metaphor而是simile的;在慢慢瞭解這類癥候群患者的同時,也覺得最難過的其實是身邊人,父親的角色最令人心碎——無法感知的痛苦和無法溝通的絕望,兒子做過最美的夢卻是世上所有的人都因中電腦病毒死光,獨自享有整個世界。
