This mesmerizing debut, uncannily uniting the trials of a postmodern upbringing with a murder mystery, heralds the arrival of a vibrant new voice in literary fiction
Special Topics in Calamity Physics is a darkly hilarious coming-of-age novel and a richly plotted suspense tale told through the distinctive voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer. After a childhood moving from one academic outpost to another with her father (a man prone to aphorisms and meteoric affairs), Blue is clever, deadpan, and possessed of a vast lexicon of literary, political, philosophical, and scientific knowledge—and is quite the cineaste to boot. In her final year of high school at the elite (and unusual) St. Gallway School in Stockton, North Carolina, Blue falls in with a charismatic group of friends and their captivating teacher, Hannah Schneider. But when the drowning of one of Hannah's friends and the shocking death of Hannah herself lead to a confluence of mysteries, Blue is left to make sense of it all with only her gimlet-eyed instincts and cultural references to guide—or misguide—her.
Structured around a syllabus for a Great Works of Literature class and containing ironic visual aids (drawn by the author), Pessl's debut novel is complex yet compelling, erudite yet accessible. It combines the suspense of Hitchcock, the self-parody of Dave Eggers, and the storytelling gifts of Donna Tartt with a dazzling intelligence and wit entirely Pessl's own.
Marisha Pessl graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University.

耐着性子看了三分之一,500多页的书,读完的话我恐怕也是看不懂什么,浪费时间。对于我来说这本书是在不是合适我,最大的收获大概就是目录,30多个章节的名字都是30多部世界名著,很多我都没看过。也许这提醒我看那些曾经听说过的名字。还有,就是小说中出现的大量的文学作品的...
评分很好的一本解密小说,只是翻译太垃圾了:不符合中国人的语法,前后人名不一致,很多生硬的“金山词霸”式翻译……全靠自己悟性了 前面两章一定要坚持住,如果看不下去的话就会觉得这本书很无聊 最后一章进入高潮和解密阶段,重头戏就在这里啦,但是需要有前两章的情节作铺垫 ...
评分阅读这本书的过程就如同它的情节一般曲折。 首先是老婆大人从图书馆的书架上始终被我无视的角落里抽出了这本书递到我面前 —— “看名字像是你会喜欢的书。”看名字的确如此。虽然封面上那句“让我想起我逝去的叛逆少女时代”让我疑虑丛生,我还是把它带回了家。 接着,开始...

评分我把它当作一个美丽的故事来阅读。美国盛行阴谋论——这其实是勇气的十足表现形式。很难在其他地方找到这种不折不扣的生命力,这是年轻化的、聪明的质地,不是海明威的历尽沧桑。 怀念学院的气息,写一篇与论文结合的小说,那就用一系列注释做形容词。正在想念相隔遥远时空的学...
