尼尔·盖曼 Neil Gaiman,广受赞誉的小说、漫画作者,曾赢得无数奖项。
因主题宏大、辽阔疆域、堪称史诗级的巨作《美国众神》而家喻户晓,而《蛛神男孩》则是一本会让人微笑的书,有幽默、有诡计、有智慧,还充满了冒险的趣味。
尼尔·盖曼将自己的这本书描述为“一本魔幻恐怖惊悚鬼魅浪漫喜剧家庭史诗”,不仅如此,他还机智地将喜剧的本质、快节奏的恐怖小说和犯罪小说的情节融合起来,使这个有关善恶的故事从表面上看起来并没有深邃的道理,却在本质上直击了寻常小人物的心灵和他们所经历着的浪漫传奇的残酷。
One of fiction's most audaciously original talents, Neil Gaiman now gives us a mythology for a modern age -- complete with dark prophecy, family dysfunction, mystical deceptions, and killer birds. Not to mention a lime. Anansi Boys God is dead. Meet the kids. When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts" his father bestowed -- before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life. Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall, good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is from day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun ... just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie. Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. Some said he could cheat even Death himself. Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times bestseller, American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny -- a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure-house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

评分这本书的一个中文书名是《蜘蛛男孩》,个人觉得不妥。Anansi是非洲的一个神祗,以蜘蛛的模样著称,狡猾多智,直接翻成“蜘蛛”,略去了很多内涵。至于boys,书中的两个主角都是30岁,不能叫做男孩了。故此,翻成“蜘蛛神之子”或“安纳西之子”,都比“蜘蛛男孩”要好。 这一...
评分 评分书看到一半,我已经严重怀疑蜘蛛不过是胖查理的另一个分身而已,这样的故事设置并不鲜见。 在卡尔维诺的《我们的祖先》中“分成两半的男爵”里,一半至善,一半至恶;蜘蛛和胖查理也是两人有着很明显的偏差,也就是说不完美。 所以他们原来都应该是同一个人,最后被强行分开了...
评分尼尔·盖曼非常擅长在传说、神话的基础上进行再次创作。本就极具传奇色彩的故事变得更加有趣了。语言幽默,情节曲折完整,真的很适合做剧本。希望能看到这部小说影视化,一定会是很不错的观影体验。尼尔·盖曼的小说读起来有着和看漫威电影一样的快感,很有画面感。 属于自己的...
