身心俱疲的私家侦探Michael McGill急需为自己的职业生涯注入新动力。然而，他等来的却是一记击中裆部的电牛棒。总统那位染上毒瘾的幕僚长希望McGill去寻找真正的Constitution——即建国先父们为应对最严峻危机而秘密起草的那部真本。如今，伴随着上帝信仰、文明礼序以及老妈亲手烤的苹果派的消亡或行将消逝，那个危机关头已经降临。然而McGill天生善于一头扎进各种能想象到的堕落污垢中——而这桩案子正将他引向美国最黑暗、最潮湿的下层阴暗面，逼近那些连他也叹为观止的丑恶行径。

“我睁开眼，看见老鼠正往我的咖啡杯里撒尿。”——沃伦·埃利斯《扭曲的小矿脉》
"I opened my eyes to see the rat taking a piss in my coffee mug." -- Crooked Little Vein, Warren Ellis
……查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《奇点天空》。奇点题材小说。马克·丹尼尔夫斯基的《叶之屋》。半部故事都在脚注里的超自然元小说。让人联想到电影《死亡幻觉》。沃伦·埃利斯的《扭曲的小矿脉》。私家侦探受白宫委托去追查另一部美国宪法。套用威廉·吉布森的话说，“行了，别说了，你吓到我了。”迈克尔·格林伯格的《匆匆闪耀》……
…Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. Singularity stories. House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. Supernatural meta-fiction with half the story in the footnotes. Reminiscent of the movie Donnie Darko. Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. Private eye gets retained by the White House to track down the other U.S. Constitution. To quote William Gibson, "Stop It. You're frightening me." Hurry Down Sunshine by Michael Greenberg.…
哈！我是埃利斯的粉丝，或者至少是他漫画书（还是叫图像小说？我反正分不清）的粉丝，但我跟《扭曲的小矿脉》真不太合得来。剧情我真是一点都记不得了（读它大概是15年前的事了），但我确实记得当时的感觉是，他的主要目的就是恶心我。有点像加思·恩尼斯……
Hah! I'm an Ellis fan, or at least a fan of his Comic Books (or are they Graphical Novels, I never learn), but I didn't really get along with Crooked Little Vein. I honestly don't remember a single piece of the plot (it's 15-ish years since I read it), but I do remember that I got the feeling that his main objective was to gross me out. A bit like Garth Ennis,…
……另一本老 SF 书。这本不够新鲜，像是两三部不同的小说生拼硬凑在一起的，如果抛开另外那些边角料，某些片段可能还挺不错。沃伦·埃利斯的《扭曲的小矿脉》。如果你熟悉沃伦·埃利斯平时写的那些玩意儿，就不会觉得有多少惊喜。基本上就是一部穿梭于美国各路堕落底层的公路旅行小说。挺好玩，但动不动就来点恶心人的 warrenellis 典型风格……
…Another old SF book. This one wasn't very fresh, seemed like two or three different novels stapled together, with bits and pieces that might work pretty well if it weren't for the other bits and pieces. Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. Not a lot of surprises, if you know what Warren Ellis tends to write. Basically a road trip novel through various degeneracies in America. Fun, but tends to go for gross-out warrenellisisms…
