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.

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...
评分无疑是“灾难物理学”和天才少女的渊博知识让我在网上银行上付了帐。 确实是个很特别的体验,过去我还从来没有读到过哪本书会让我产生厌烦情绪,程度堪比雌性人类每月一次的那种莫名烦躁。真的是一场阅读灾难。 首先,灾难物理学除了在书中最后蓝蓝的父亲提议她为自己写的故...
评分中文版有534页,还是大开本,英文平装本有736页。 关于翻译,吹毛求疵地叨叨一下: 1 书中有个女生叫Jade,商务印书馆出的《英语姓名译名手册》中还真把它翻译成“杰德”。但是,如果把女主人公Blue翻译成“蓝蓝”而不是译名手册中的“布卢”,又何妨把Jade翻译成小翠呢? 2...
评分自己检查了一遍觉得自己没有关键情节剧透或者说……剧透的部分不算关键情节。 嗯,看自己这个评论的标题,我有一种我应该打一星的错觉。 但是事实上我很爱这本书,一口气看完了整本,完全地赞同封面那句话——“让人想起自己逝去的叛逆少女时代。” 先来说说广泛的批评意见吧...
评分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...
