马克斯·苏萨克
1975年出生于悉尼,30岁已成为当代澳洲小说界获奖最多、著作最丰、读者群最广的作家。
《传信人》是苏萨克另一部具有全球影响的得奖力作,出版后获得了美国图书馆协会普林兹奖、《出版家周刊》年度最佳图书等一系列奖项。如果说《偷书贼》是一出让人感动的正剧,那么《传信人》这出活剧则是让人笑中带泪的。

Grade 9 Up - Nineteen-year-old cabbie Ed Kennedy has little in life to be proud of: his dad died of alcoholism, and he and his mom have few prospects for success. He has little to do except share a run-down apartment with his faithful yet smelly dog, drive his taxi, and play cards and drink with his amiable yet similarly washed-up friends. Then, after he stops a bank robbery, Ed begins receiving anonymous messages marked in code on playing cards in the mail, and almost immediately his life begins to swerve off its beaten-down path. Usually the messages instruct him to be at a certain address at a certain time. So with nothing to lose, Ed embarks on a series of missions as random as a toss of dice: sometimes daredevil, sometimes heartwarmingly safe. He rescues a woman from nightly rape by her husband. He brings a congregation to an abandoned parish. The ease with which he achieves results vacillates between facile and dangerous, and Ed's search for meaning drives him to complete every task. But the true driving force behind the novel itself is readers' knowledge that behind every turn looms the unknown presence - either good or evil - of the person or persons sending the messages. Zusak's characters, styling, and conversations are believably unpretentious, well conceived, and appropriately raw. Together, these key elements fuse into an enigmatically dark, almost film-noir atmosphere where unknowingly lost Ed Kennedy stumbles onto a mystery - or series of mysteries - that could very well make or break his life. - Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library

以童话开始 主人公 Ed Kennedy 十九岁,以开出租车为生,一个人租了间小屋子住,室友是一条大狗,名叫 Doorman,嗜好喝咖啡,吃到意大利面条时会焕发出幸福的微笑(读到这里时我眼前不由自主的浮现出了加菲猫的样子)。Ed 是那种长在城市郊区的普通孩子,老妈嘴里不求上进的混...
评分看这本书绝对是因为对于偷书贼的偏爱,所以失望大于期望,然而这仅仅是这个故事的开头。 什么叫煽情?很多文艺爱好者把这个词语列为贬义,我就他妈的喜欢煽情的东西,老子偶尔喜欢一点东西就是要触动自己的,来得越直接越好,消退的越晚越好。 这本书的帮助和救赎,煽了我N次...
评分时隔十年,再看此书。我觉得这书是本佳作。虽然结局神秘人物的解读有点牵强,但是五张牌的十三个故事的确使我着迷。而且,这些事都是很有可能发生在我们身边,乃至发生在我们自己身上的。我觉得这本书给我的震撼点在于教会我们在身边的形形色色的人群中发现爱、传递爱、消除恨...
评分文学PPT准备以这个为题。最初到图书馆是想借《偷书贼》,无奈已经被人借了……不过这本《传信人》也意外的不赖。在读书过程中我一直在猜谁是幕后主导者,弟弟?上帝?爸爸?到最后反而是觉得无论是谁都不重要了。 慢慢地觉得自己与主角艾德相似。无所作为,懒散,被动等等……...
