Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990 and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland, Ohio. Lenore's great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau, and boss, Rick Vigorous, is insanely jealous, and her cockatiel, Vlad the Impaler, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho- babble, Auden, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality.
大卫·福斯特·华莱士无疑是位才子型的作家,他通晓各种风格的文学语言和叙事方式,并具有丰富的想象力、幽默感以及离经叛道的精神。《系统之帚》是作者的游乐场,华莱士充满激情、兴致勃勃地玩弄文字、玩弄语言、玩弄技巧。而且,华莱士写这本书的时候才24岁,真牛。
- an in-your-face kind of spasm/orgasm of intellectual ideas, varying in colors and shapes but invariably brilliant - naughty in a self-consciously serious manner, whatever that means - language WORDS. words are the characters, they are the narrative, the p...
评分好多年没有读过这么厚的小说了,看这本小说不能用我们平时看小说的思维方式去看,过去看小说,无论再长再难读,我都好不在意自己是否在阅读中走神,因为无论如何你只要顺着读下去你总能知道大概的事情梗概,可是这本小说《系统的笤帚》就特别地“乱”,如果你不谨慎小心去阅读...
评分《系统的笤帚》读得很快,断断续续只用了两天半,还从来没这么快地读完一本砖头一样的小说。也许是行间距拉大降低了阅读难度,毕竟在意义不明的情况下,能不停翻动书页也是一种安慰——尽管看完,却仍觉得云里雾里。 但在许多段落细节上与大卫达成了共识,不过这共识之间隔着毛...
评分文/俞耕耘 大卫·福斯特·华莱士的才华与其好友乔纳森·弗兰岑,形成某种相对的类型。他有极强的辩识度:毛线般的长句、造词花样迭出、对话绞绕故事推进、放纵骄奢的想象,夹杂些怪诞谐趣,有种不合时宜的哀伤。这些特质一调和,产生了“化合反应”――天才风格的诞生。只可惜...

妙趣横生
评分I’m off. I hope I did the right thing, coming over. And I’m sorry if this upset you. I just thought you ought to know the story.
评分rewarding every single page, literally
评分Highly recommend audible version of this, performance made this piece even more hilarious. Hard to follow plot at first cuz the jumps and kinda weird divisions of chapters and segments but overall characterization is brilliant. The novel has its own system of language. Could’ve been better if the missing of grandma Lenore plot line was completed.
评分还说别人呢,you are the one who tried too hard; 不过的确聪明。
