[来自 Jon Courtenay Grimwood 的评语]:Light 是那种会让其他作家读罢心想“我干脆放弃回家算了”的小说。读到书中将冷冽完美的散文与引人入胜的扭曲疯狂熔于一炉时,那确实是我的第一反应。这也是唯一一本让我如此令人不适地接近并同情一个连环杀手的书。但这就是 M John Harrison 的手笔:反英雄 Michael Kearney 是一位数学造诣惊人、投掷骰子、改变现实且智商超群的连环杀手,心中始终受着一只马骨骷髅恶魔的困扰。Harrison 的天才之处在于将 Kearney 的叙事

……新浪潮(以及对整体风格化手法的侧重)在重振科幻小说地位方面起到了很大作用。就我个人而言,我认为吉恩·沃尔夫(Gene Wolfe)和 M·约翰·哈里森(M John Harrison)推动了这一类型的演进,理应获得高度赞扬。哈里森的《光》(Light)[2]就是一部现代新浪潮小说的代表作,同时还保持了硬核扎实的科学底色。1: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/11289765/The-Hobbit-... 2: http://www.amazon.com/Light-M-John-Harrison/dp/0553382950
…wave (and an emphasis on stylism in general) has done a lot to rehabilitate sci-fi. Personally, I think Gene Wolfe and M John Harrison deserve a lot of praise for pushing the genre along. Harrison's "Light"[2] comes to mind as a modern incarnation of a new wave novel that still manages to earn its sciency stripes. 1: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/11289765/The-Hobbit-... 2: http://www.amazon.com/Light-M-John-Harrison/dp/0553382950
查尔斯·斯特罗斯(Charles Stross)居然没进榜单,我真的挺意外的。依我看,他是当下最出色的未来主义作家之一。另外我也极力推荐 M·约翰·哈里森的《光》(Light)http://www.amazon.com/Light-M-John-Harrison/dp/0553382950。
I'm really surprised Charles Stross didn't get into the list. One of the best futurists currently writing, IMHO. I also highly recommend M. John Harrison's 'Light' http://www.amazon.com/Light-M-John-Harrison/dp/0553382950.
虽然有点跳出文本谈文本,但哈里森的《光》(Light)读起来确实如拂面海风般令人神清气爽,而《新星摇摆》(Nova Swing)我却觉得几乎让人难以忍受,感觉像是把赋予《光》惊艳魅力的那些无时间性概念草率地胡乱套用了一番。它……
Getting a little meta, but while Harrison's "Light" was indeed a refreshing blast of sea air, "Nova Swing" I found almost intolerable in what felt like a haphazard reapplication of some of the time-independent concepts that made Light so wonderful. It…

去读读 M·约翰·哈里森(M. John Harrison)的书吧——他对文字的驾驭力不相上下。他的开法奇道三部曲(Kefahuchi Tract trilogy:《光》、《新星摇摆》、《虚空》)。
try M. John Harrison - he has similar command of the word. His Kefahuchi Tract trilogy (Light, Nova Swing, Empty Space).
……比如你可以试试《丹尼尔之书》(The Book of Daniel)、《拉格泰姆时代》(Ragtime)、《比利·巴思盖特》(Billy Bathgate)、《潜鸟湖》(Loon Lake)。在科幻领域(抛开已经提到过的 Shikasta 系列不谈),M·约翰·哈里森很值得一看。他著作等身,但《光》(Light)是个不错的切入点。翁贝托·埃科:《玫瑰的名字》、《傅科摆》。厄休拉·勒古恩的一些更严肃的作品也很契合,比如《被剥夺者》或《黑暗的左手》。……
…example. Try The Book of Daniel, Ragtime, Billy Bathgate, Loon Lake. In the scifi genre (aside from the Shikasta series already mentioned), M. John Harrison is worth a look. He’s got a long bibliography but Light might be a good starting point. Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum. Some of Ursula Le Guin’s more serious books might fit the bill, like The Dispossessed or The Left Hand of Darkness.…
