Denis Johnson meets David Mitchell in this darkly beautiful and daringly creative novel by two-time Booker Prize nominee Jon McGregor. On a cold, quiet day between Christmas and the New Year, a man's body is found in an abandoned apartment. His friends look on, but they're dead, too, their bodies found in remote corners of the city. Victims of heroin overdose, they're in the shadows, a chorus keeping vigil as the hours pass, paying homage as their friend's body is taken away, examined, investigated, and cremated. All of their stories are laid out piece by broken piece through a series of fractured narratives--of lives fallen through the cracks, hopes flaring and dying, love overwhelmed by a stronger need, and the havoc wrought by drugs, distress, and the disregard of the wider world. These invisible people live in a parallel reality, out of reach of basic creature comforts, like food and shelter. In their sudden deaths, it becomes clear, they are treated with more respect than they ever were in their short lives. Intense, exhilarating, and shot through with hope and fury, "Even the Dogs "is an intimate exploration of life at the edges of society--littered with love, loss, despair, and a half-glimpse of redemption.
看的法语版,根本读不下去。。。
评分IMPAC的获奖作印象中读过的都没有失望的,英国新锐作家Jon McGregor的这本亦然。小说的文艺气极重,却又极其down-to-earth,写的是社会底层一群酗酒嗑药的流浪汉,他们的故事里有自暴自弃的堕落,有无可奈何的伤痛,破碎的行文书写破碎的人生,疏离的叙事唤起深厚的悲悯
