内容摘要
书名：Stuart: A Life Backwards斯图尔特：倒带人生作者：Alexander Masters 出版社名称：Fourth Estate 出版时间：2019 语种：英文 ISBN：9780008329723 商品尺寸：12.9 x 2.2 x 19.8 cm 包装：平装页数：304（以实物为准） ★一段迷乱、疯狂的流浪岁月，一段温情、意外的特殊情谊 ★本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇、汤姆·哈迪主演的同名电影原著 2005年，在浪漫的剑桥，作家亚历山大·马斯特斯却为一个“不浪漫”的社会底层人士撰写了一本非同寻常的传记——Stuart: A Life Backwards《斯图尔特：倒带人生》。传记的主角斯图尔特·肖特是抢劫犯、流浪汉、吸毒者，是以亲生儿子做人质的劫持者，是各个监狱的常客，他的一生中充满暴力、狂怒和迷离，却也时常闪烁着智慧与灵感。本书采用了倒叙手法进行书写，斯图尔特一步一步把自己的人生“倒带”回去，亚历山大负责帮他整理，是什么改变了斯图尔特的一生，把他作为一个正常人的可能性彻底抹杀掉。本书是作者的处女作，该书荣获《卫报》“第1书奖”，并被英国广播公司制作成电影，由汤姆·哈迪和本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰演剧中角色。媒体评论： “一部充满苦涩的滑稽作品。”——《卫报》 “亚历山大·马斯特斯的处女作是一个巨大的成功。该书读起来令人震撼，充满了人间真情，耐人寻味，并且独辟蹊径。”——《星期日电讯报》安妮·奇泽姆 “既滑稽又新颖，真是令人震撼的一部书……读到卷尾我早已泪奔，但是书中的内容也常常让我忍俊不禁。高超的写作手法。”——《时尚杂志》黛茜·加内特 “马斯特斯展示了大师的风范，将人物之间的对话和抖包袱的火候体现得尽善尽美……写得太好了！”——《泰晤士文学增刊》 One of the ten books – novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography – that make up our Matchbook Classics’ series, a stunningly redesigned collection of some of the best loved titles on our backlist. Stuart: A Life Backwards expanded the possibilities of what a biography could be: the stories it could tell, and how it could tell them. It is about a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer (‘a middle-class scum ponce, if you want to be honest about it, Alexander’), and Stuart Shorter, a thief, hostage-taker, psycho and street raconteur. Told backwards – Stuart’s idea – it starts with a deeply troubled thirty-two-year-old stepping out in front of the 11.15 train from London to King’s Lynn, and ends with a ‘happy-go-lucky little boy’ of twelve. Compelling, humane and funny, it is as extraordinary and unexpected as the life it describes. Review “Unique and wonderful.”--Daily Mail “Possibly the best biography I have ever read.”--Mark Haddon “This is a very rare and haunting book… A great first book.”--Andrew O'Hagan “Good books like this appear about once every five years. It's been years since I've been so delighted by a book and so surprised by it … When I'd finished I felt bereft, as if I'd lost an old friend.”--Zadie Smith “Utterly compelling and very funny.”--Daily Telegraph “One of the most remarkable and touching biographies I’ve ever read.”--Minette Marin, Sunday Times 本书主角——一个街头游民，一般人眼里的Loser，却有了一本独属于自己的传记，并重版12次之多；还有了演绎其人生的电影，由演技派汤姆·哈迪扮演其人。谁能说他不是个Winner！他的人生该怎样地与众不同，才有了这非同一般的后续？这段迷乱、疯狂、温情的岁月，Stuart: A Life Backwards《斯图尔特：倒带人生》讲给你听！亚历山大·马斯特斯（Alexander Masters, 1965-），英国传记作家，现居英国剑桥，曾在一家流浪汉收容所工作过。《倒带人生》（2005）是其处女作，该书荣获《卫报》“第1书奖”，并被英国广播公司（BBC）制作成电影，由汤姆·哈迪和本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰演剧中角色。他的第二部书《我地下室里的天才》（2011）是关于住在他所住公寓地下室里的一位天才数学家西蒙·菲利浦斯·诺顿的生平。 Alexander Masterslives in London. His second book, ‘The Genius in My Basement’, was published in 2011. Stuart does not like the manuscript. Through the pale Tesco stripes of his supermarket bag I can see the wedge of my papers. Two years' worth of interviews and literary effort. What's the matter with it?? ' It's bollocks boring.' He fumbles in the lumpy bulges of his pockets, looking for roll-up papers, then drops into my armchair and pushes his face forward, surveying the drab collection of twigs and dead summertime experiments on my balcony. One arm remains, as it landed, squeezed in beside his thigh. Outside, it is getting dark; the trees in the garden have started to grow in size and lose their untended shapes. I don't mean to be rude. I know you put a lot of work in,' Stuart offers. Put briefly, his objection is this: I drone on. He wants jokes, yarns, humour. He doesn't admire 'academic quotes' and background research.' Nah, Alexander, you gotta start again. You gotta do better than this.' He's after a bestseller,' like what Tom Clancy writes'. ‘But you are not an assassin trying to frazzle the president with anthrax bombs,' I point out. You are an ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath, I do not add. Stuart phrases it another way, then:' Something what people will read.' There are numerous types of homeless person: There are those who were doing all right beforehand, but have suffered a temporary setback because their wife has run off with another man(or, surprisingly often, another woman). Their business may have collapsed. Their daughter has been killed in a car crash. Or both. Self-confidence is their main problem and, if the professionals can get hold of them in the first few months, they'll be back at work or at least in settled, long-term accommodation within a year or two. Men outnumber women ten to one on the streets. For women, it is usually sex or battering or madness that has brought them to this condition. They are better at coping with financial failure and betrayal, or their expectations are more self-effacing. 1234567
