VELOCITY 英文原版

作者：  Dean

出版社：Random House US 2006年04月

简介：

　　Book De*ion
Dean Koontz’s uniquetalent for writing terrifying thrillers with a heart and soul isnowhere more evident than in this latest suspense masterpiece thatpits one man against the ultimate deadline. If there were speedlimits for the sheer pulse-racing excitement allowed in one novel,Velocity would break them all. Get ready for the ride of yourlife.
　　From Publishers Weekly
　　Starred Review. A diabolic killer plays a harrowing game of catand mouse with a reclusive bartender in Koontz's latest grippingsuspense thriller. Billy Wiles, a 30-something bartender and formerwriter, is content with his solitary Napa County existencelistening to "beer-based psychoanalysis" from tavern regulars;visiting his hospitalized, comatose fiancée, Barbara; and carvingwood sculptures. But the simple life gets mighty complicated whenhe finds a note with a deadly, time-sensitive ultimatum: he mustchoose between the death of a young schoolteacher or an elderlyhumanitarian in six hours. Reluctant local sheriff Lanny Olsendismisses it as a joke until a comely teacher is found strangledand another threatening note appears—offering even less time forBilly to decide the fate of two more people. Who would have guessedthat one of those people would be Olsen? After his friend's murder,Billy finds that the cunning killer has gained access to everyaspect of his life as the ultimatums grow increasingly morepersonal. Suppressing horrific childhood memories, Billy scramblesto bury grisly incriminating evidence the murderer has deviouslyplanted. More gruesome deaths and shaky suspicions trap Billy rightin the demented killer's lair for just the beginning of Koontz'sserpentine showdown. Graphic, fast-paced action, well-developedcharacters and relentless, nail-biting scenes show Koontz at thetop of his game. (May 24)
　　From Booklist
　　Billy Wiles tends bar in a tavern in his small Californiahometown, from which he has never moved despite the horrific nightwhen he became an orphan at 14 and its equally horrific aftermath.Some 15 years later, he published a well-received book of storiesand met Barbara. They were about to be married when botulism incanned vichyssoise put her in a coma, and Billy more or less onhold, living on the hope that she will revive some day. Some fiveyears further on, Billy finds, under the windshield wiper of hiscar, a note offering him a hideous decision. If he doesn't go tothe police, "a lovely blond schoolteacher" will be killed; if hedoes, "an elderly woman" will be murdered. Billy doesn't exactly gothe police. He shows the note to a cop who is probably his onlyreal friend and who seconds his conjecture that the note is just anexceedingly tasteless prank. Of course, it isn't, and for the restof an exceedingly tightly wound thriller stubbornly focused on him,Billy struggles to discover the identity of the soon-serial killer,who plants evidence incriminating Billy on his (her? their?)victims. Eventually and all too soon, Barbara is threatened, andBilly's subsequent suicide predicted, in the murderer's ostensiblyfinal note. Not as moving as Odd Thomas (2003), as creepy as TheTaking(2004), as darkly funny as Life Expectancy (2004), or asthought-provoking as any of them, Velocity is, however, moresuspenseful and more grueling--genuinely terrific.
　　Ray Olson
　　From School Library Journal
　　Adult/High School–Bartender Billy Wiles's life spirals out ofcontrol after he finds a note on his windshield telling him that hehas a choice: involve the police, and a lovely blonde schoolteacherdies. Do nothing, and an elderly woman active in charity work dies.His options only become harder once the killer targets people whomBilly knows and plants circumstantial evidence tying him to thecrimes. His greatest fear is for his comatose fiancée, and he worksfrantically to find the murderer before Barbara is hurt. Koontzkeeps the plot moving at an accelerating pace, and there are enoughtwists and turns to keep the story from being predictable. Billyisn't a hero in the traditional sense, but he is a sympatheticprotagonist, an average man pushed to his limits by an implacablefoe. Although there is a great deal of violence and an impressivebody count, the worst of it occurs off-screen. The themes aren'tsubtle, but they are worth considering--the importance ofconnection and community, the enduring power of love, and thevalidity of modern art. Velocity is a fast, entertainingread.
　　–Susan Salpini, TASIS–The American School in England
　　From AudioFile
　　Billy Wiles has been forced into a game of moral jeopardy by alurid serial killer who forces him to choose the next victim. Thegame accelerates, the deadlines grow tighter, the killer becomesbolder and crueler with every communication, the mutilations evermore grotesque, the decisions intensely personal . . . until theyfinally involve Barbara, Billy's fiancée, who is helpless in abotulism-induced coma. Michael Hayden is masterful at creating thevibrato of beer-based psychoanalysis, the garbled quality oftalking around a toothbrush, and the exquisite timing of a winchline turning on a drum, a sound that pulls the listener further andfurther into this impossible-to-wake-up-from nightmare. Prepareyourself for a Machiavellian extravaganza. K.A.T.

　　Ten of his novels have risen to number one on the New York Timeshardcover best-seller list (The Husband, One Door Away From Heaven,From The Corner Of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, Hideaway, DragonTears, The Bad Place, Intensity, and Sole Survivor). Thirteen ofhis books have risen to the number one position in paperback.
　　Several of his books have been adapted into feature films and TVminiseries, including the highly rated “Intensity” on the FoxNetwork. The Husband is currently in development as a major motionpicture by Focus Features/Random House Films.
　　The New York Times has called his writing "psychologicallycomplex, masterly and satisfying." The New Orleans Times-Picayunesaid Koontz is "lyrical without ever being naive or romantic. [Hecreates] a grotesque world, much like that of Flannery O'Connor orWalker Percy ... scary, worthwhile reading." The London Timescalled him "a literary juggler," and Publishers Weekly recentlystated in a starred review that Koontz "gives readers bright hopein a dark world. He is a true original."
　　Dean Koontz was born and raised in Pennsylvania.

The following year wasfilled with challenge but also tension, and Koontz was more highlymotivated than ever to build a career as a writer. He wrote nightsand weekends, which he continued to do after leaving the povertyprogram and going to work as an English teacher in a suburbanschool district outside Harrisburg. After he had been a year and ahalf in that position, his wife, Gerda, made him an offer hecouldn't refuse: "I'll support you for five years," she said, "andif you can't make it as a writer in that time, you'll never makeit." By the end of those five years, Gerda had quit her job to runthe business end of her husband's writing career. Dean and GerdaKoontz live in southern California with their golden retriever,Trixie, who herself has written two successful books—Life Is Goodand Christmas Is Good.

Wise Blood

作者：  (美)弗兰纳里·奥康纳(Flannery O’Connor)著;周欣译

出版社：译林出版社,2001

简介：美国田纳西州埃斯特罗德地方的黑兹尔·莫茨二十二岁从部队退伍后来到一个南方城市，他立刻便同一个叫阿萨·霍克斯的街头传教士较上了劲。黑兹尔极力想在布道和心智上胜出霍克斯一筹，在这种努力中他创立了自己“没有基督的教派”。但最后他弄瞎了自己的眼睛，死在一条排水沟里。 [前言]　　精神荒漠中的希望之光——代序(弗兰纳里·奥康纳)（一九二五—一九六四）是美国二战后重要的南方女作家，长篇小说《智血》是她的处女作。自一九五二年出版之后，这篇小说曾先后被翻译成多种文字，并于一九七二年在美国本土拍摄成同名电影。《智血》是一部具有喜剧风格的怪诞小说。该书出版时，其古怪的情节与荒诞的人物使得许多评论家都感到难以接受。半个世纪之后的今天，其哥特式恐怖、阴冷的风格仍不免使得初读此书的读者感到震惊，认为该书晦涩难懂。为了更好地把握全书的主题与风格，有必要对奥康纳创作的地域与时代背景作一回顾。奥康纳是一名土生土长的南方作家。历史上，奴隶制以及种植园经济给美国南方带来了繁荣的经济与舒适优雅的生活。人们醉心于田园风光，喜爱聆听风趣的故事与美妙的音乐，并热衷于举行各式隆重的庆典。正如美国当代文论家本·弗克纳所说，美国的南方文学以及整个南方文化成长于一个特殊的环境，在这里，“人们把各州的自主权看得比联邦政府的权威更重要；人们朗诵、记忆并珍视《圣经》中的每一个词句；人们更多的是以传统的农业方式维系家庭的和睦关系；每个人都崇尚尊严，并将温文尔雅的待人方式作为生活的准则”。然而，内战之后，南方被笼罩在战争失败的阴影之下，人们开始体会到战争的创伤、失败的耻辱以及历史的重负，传统的生活方式日趋式微，而昔日的自豪亦被自卑心理所代替。此后，资本主义工业化又对带有封建色彩的旧农业制度造成巨大的冲击，新旧秩序的交替更使得南方社会动荡不安，传统的道德与价值观分崩离析。在这种时代背景下，十九世纪末期乃至二十世纪初期的南方作家不可避免地在他们的文学作品流露出对辉煌过往的缅怀之情，南方文学整体上呈现出一种多愁善感的基调。现代南方文学的最杰出代表福克纳即在他的小说中描写了虚构的约克那帕塔法县两大家族新旧交替的兴衰史，描绘出一幅鸿篇巨制的南方社会与历史的全景画卷。一九二五年，奥康纳出生于美国南方佐治亚州的萨瓦那镇的一个天主教家庭。萨瓦那是该州最古老的文化中心，它有着浓郁的天主教气氛，是南方腹地“圣经地带”的重要组成部分。奥康纳就在福音派教义和预言书的影响下度过了她的少女时期。此时的南方已经逐渐摆脱了福克纳小说中所描写的战争失败的阴影，一度衰退的经济也渐渐复兴。随着商品经济的发展，人们的生活方式有了巨大的改变，一方面，人们的宗教习俗和观念依然根深蒂固，另一方面，由于人们的信仰不断受到拜金主义的冲击，人与人之间的关系逐渐变得冷漠、功利，而人们的心灵也被孤独、迷茫、失落、不满等各种负面情绪所笼罩。由于从小浸淫在天主教文化的氛围之中，奥康纳从小就学会了将关注的目光投向人们的精神世界，剖析动荡的社会环境下人们的复杂的内心与扭曲的灵魂。从圣心教会学校毕业以后，她进入佐治亚州州立女子学院（今佐治亚学院）学习英文和社会科学。就读期间，她的写作才华开始载露头角：她不但发表了数篇短篇小说，还担任了文学杂志编辑，为此她获得了衣阿华大学写作班的奖学金。在修得衣阿华大学的文学硕士学位两年之后，她移居纽约从事小说创作，开始在杂志上连载她的第一部长篇小说《智血》。一九二∧昴，奥康纳被诊断出得了红斑狼疮。正是这种疾病，使得她在十五岁那年遭受丧父之痛；如今，死亡的阴影又降临到了她的头上。在她的余生中，她一直受着这种慢性疾病的折磨：先是关节痛、疲劳，随后心肺和肾脏功能也逐渐衰竭。患病后，她回到了佐治亚州的米利奇维尔市，一个开满鲜花的静谧小城。在最初几年里，她尚有独立行动的能力。凭着对写作事业的热爱，她笔耕不辍，完成了她的第一部小说集《好人难寻》（一九五五）中的大部分作品。后来，奥康纳不得不和母亲一同生活在拥有五百英亩面积的家庭奶牛场上，过起离群索居的隐居生活。写作之余，她在农场上读书、写信，还养了一大群孔雀。除《圣经》之外，她阅读了大量的神学书，如著名神学家奥古斯丁和阿奎那斯的作品等等。由于疾病，她对宗教有了更为深刻的理解。如今，宗教不仅是她感悟世界的方式，更是她的精神支柱，帮助她战胜内心的痛苦和对死亡的恐惧。她在日常的生活中处处看到宗教的神力，孔雀的美赐予她创作的灵感，而它们周期性的繁殖、脱羽与成长在她看来更是不啻于基督复活的启示。奥康纳在短暂的一生中，除创作了《智血》、《暴力得逞》（一九六。┝讲砍て小说之外，还发表了三十二篇短篇小说和多篇文学评论，并获得多种奖项和荣誉，被称为“南方才女”。她的两本短篇小说集《好人难寻》和《上升的一切必然汇合》（一九六五）为她赢得了“短篇小说大师”的称号。其中，短篇小说《火圈》和《绿叶》分别于一九五五年和一九五七年获得欧·亨利短篇小说奖。一九五七年，她受到美国文学艺术院的奖励；一九七二年，她的《短篇小说全集》荣获全美图书奖。在她身后，除《智血》外，还有许多作品被先后搬上了荧屏，如《河流》、《火圈》、《难民》、《善良的乡下人》、《你所拯救的生命》等等。如今，她曾经就读的母校佐治亚学院在图书馆开辟了“奥康纳藏馆”，该校的英语语言和新闻系还建立了“奥康纳电子公告栏”。另外，在奥康纳生后所设立的“弗兰纳里·奥康纳短篇小说奖”也在美国短篇小说奖项中占有至高的地位。这一切无不证明奥康纳在文学上取得的杰出成就。难怪在她三十九岁去世的时候，美国评论界称她的早逝是“自斯科特·菲茨杰拉尔德去世以来美国文坛最重大的损失”。作为一名土生土长的南方作家，奥康纳的作品充满了“南方性”。首先，她的小说几乎全部以南方生活为背景，描写了南方社会中的普通人，尤其是被压在社会底层的小人物。她的作品一反南方文学中多愁善感的怀旧传统，因而在其中“找不到一丝南方特有的木兰花的香味”（艾丽斯·沃克语），有的只是现实生活中真实的南方男人和女人。其次，在描写人物时，她采用了许多南方文学传统手法，如运用大量生动活泼的南方方言、俚语以及具有南方特色的黑色幽默等。这多少使得她的小说带上了一些喜剧的色彩和漫画的特性。当然，奥康纳最擅长的还是在南方文学中被广泛运用的哥特式手法。由于长期遭受疾病的折磨，她对社会上病态、卑俗的人和事保有特殊的敏感与关注。在她的作品中充斥着形形色色丑陋畸形、智力迟钝、行为怪癖、乃至心理变态的人物。她将神秘的宗教与病态的暴力共冶于一炉，使小说被笼罩在一种奇异怪诞的氛围之中，读来令人感到惊骇、恐怖。从某种意义上来说，奥康纳笔下的南方社会的历史性被大大地削弱了，取而代之的是一个充满着各种精神和道德的混乱、充满血腥与暴力的现代物质社会。由于自小受到天主教文化的巨大影响，奥康纳在描写南方社会时，并没有像福克纳那样用恢弘笔调去描绘整个南方社会的变迁与历史的更替，而是将宗教问题作为剖析南方社会的切入点。她经常在作品中探讨的主题包括原罪、魔鬼的邪恶以及上帝的恩典等。虔诚的宗教信仰以及自幼养成的探索自我灵魂的习惯赋予了她深刻的思想与锐利的目光，使得她能够从一定距离之外、居高临下地审视她所熟悉、热爱的南方。奥康纳的创作生涯集中在二十世纪五六十年代，这正是美国南方经济高速发展的年代。透过灯红酒绿的城市里经济繁荣的表象，她看到的是充满血腥、腐败气息的商业社会，被物质和商品异化了的人群，以及他们的道德沉沦与信仰危机。对那些毫无精神信仰的现代人，她极度鄙视，曾在短篇小说集《好人难寻》中，将他们比喻成树上的猴子，整天忙着“捉自己身上美味可口的跳蚤”，并在小说《启示》（一九七一）中将他们形容成“可鄙的丑陋的猪猡”。她作品中的这类人物的言行往往显得荒唐可笑，他们情感上筋疲力尽，精神上也麻木不仁，显得十分丑陋。然而，对于那些在矛盾与痛苦中苦苦思索、并追寻信仰的人，她却充满同情。奥康纳曾经说过：“我的读者是那些认为上帝已经死了的人，我很清楚自己正是为这些人而写作的。”因此，在刻画这些饱受信仰危机之苦的人物形象时，她非常注重探索他们的内心世界，通过揭示人物内心深处的矛盾冲突，并进行道德探索。在她看来，“对于这个世界，我只重视它与基督赎罪的关系”，“存在的核心便是圣灵”。因此，她作品中的人物身份以及存在往往跟他们的信仰和赎罪有着很大的关系。在她细腻、充满悲剧性的文笔描绘下，形形色色的小人物，以及种种人生奇异而荒诞的现象共同组成了一个充满警世与醒世寓言的隐喻世界。当然，她并没有将小说写成宗教教条，而是用质朴自然的文笔及大量的暗喻、象征将它们转化成一则则《旧约故事》般的宗教寓言。《智血》就是这样一则讨论通过信仰得到救赎的宗教寓言。主人公黑兹尔在一个单纯而又笃信基督教的乡村牧师家庭中长大，他的爷爷是一个巡回传教士。从小，他就希望长大后可以像爷爷那样，成为一名牧师。然而，在当兵出国打仗的几年里，他的信仰发生了动摇。在异国的战场上，他一方面努力远离罪恶，使得自己的灵魂“不受政府或别国的玷污”，另一方面却发现灵魂已不复存在。从军队复员后他便企图摆脱自己的宗教信念。因此，他离开家乡，去往一座名叫托金汉姆的城市。在那里，黑兹尔先后遇到了阿萨·霍克斯，一个装成瞎子来进行布道的伪信徒和他的私生女儿萨巴思·莉莉·霍克斯，以及一个的名叫伊诺克·埃默里的十八岁男孩。在托金汉姆，黑兹尔不但逢人就称亵渎才是达到真理的惟一途径，还公然在街头宣传一个“没有耶稣的新教”。在这个新的教派中，“瞎子看不见，瘸子不走，死者安息”，不存在救世主，也没有“可供浪费的血液”。然而，他惊愕地发现，公众对他有关罪恶信仰的谈论漠不关心，而他所宣扬的这种新教竟被人被一个名叫胡佛·肖茨的人利用，成为骗钱的把戏。在驱车轧死了那个假冒的“先知”之后，黑兹尔弄瞎了自己的眼睛，不久就在一个风雨交加的夜晚掉进排水沟里，最后死在了女房东的床上。

简介：     In an age when mankind's stewardship of the environment is under constant scrutiny, Urban Landscape Design tells the positive side of the story. These carefully researched projects demonstrate high quality solutions to man's urban spatial needs. We see how, for example, China's necessity to maintain food production, inspires hybrid landscape solutions implemented by students of architecture. Stunning images describe how in California a formerly forbidding dark alleyway can be transformed into an inviting, well-lit recreational space.
