Lionel Essrog is Brooklyn’s very own self-appointed Human Freakshow, an orphan whose Tourettic impulses drive him to bark, count, and rip apart our language in the most startling and original ways. Together with three veterans of the St. Vincent’s Home for Boys, he works for small-time mobster Frank Minna’s limo service cum detective agency. Life without Frank Minna, the charismatic King of Brooklyn, would be unimaginable, so who cares if the tasks he sets them are, well, not exactly legal. But when Frank is fatally stabbed, one of Lionel’s colleagues lands in jail, the other two vie for his position, and the victim’s widow skips town. Lionel’s world is suddenly topsy-turvy, and this outcast who has trouble even conversing attempts to untangle the threads of the case while trying to keep the words straight in his head. Motherless Brooklyn is a brilliantly original homage to the classic detective novel by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.

Very enjoyable and well-written (if somewhat light) new take on old-fashioned potboiler fiction. The narrator's Tourette's outbursts of free association are the high point, or at least were for me. I don't envy any Chinese translator who takes this one on -- it'll be a tough gig.

评分作者的写作风格很特别,或者是因为他描写的主人公有疾病的关系吧。一开始很难进入,坚持听到一半后,节奏加快,就好读很多了。
说实话,我没太读懂这本书。书中的压抑气氛有点像《红》,但是又不够悬疑。 他是蕴含着一种宗教还有隐晦的政治在其中,以一个人的视角来讲述发生在纽约布鲁克林的故事。 生命很迷茫,而周围的人似乎又很精明。那你的位置又在哪里呢?
评分妥瑞氏症,这个词已经不是我第一次看到了。之前,看电影《叫我第一名》中的主角也换有这种疾病。除了都遭受这种困扰外,他们都有不服输,想要证明自己的决心,或者说 他们只是想过上平凡的生活。 上帝并不是公平的,有些人天生丽质,而有些人从出生就疾病缠身。...

评分By Lily “在抽搐中,寻找宁静,这是生存的真相,但这真相需要透过一个病态的人受折磨的翻译给我们听,才听进去了。”这是一段对《布鲁克林的孤儿》的推荐语。当读完全书,回头再看这句话时,更多的,是对自身的唏嘘和感慨。 《Motherless Brooklyn》,是1999年National Book...
