内容简介
A boy's search for his father becomes a desperate journey to unlock a secret past. But it is a past that must not be remembered...if he is to survive.作者简介
With The Chocolate War, an unsparing story of corruption and brutal vengeance at a Catholic boys school, Robert Cormier turned what had been the sunny world of young adult fiction upside down. The book launched Cormier on a highly successful and often controversial career, in which he tackled the darker issues of adolescence and American suburban life.
Like the anonymously authored Go Ask Alicein 1975, an at times harrowing story of drug abuse for young adult readers, the Chocolate Warand others of the author s books -- ran into trouble with parent groups who found the writer s subject matter inappropriate and his approach too explicit. (According to Herb Fostal s Banned in the USA, The Chocolate Warwas fifth on a list of the most frequently banned books in American public libraries and schools in the 1990s.)
Reviewers, however, praised his writing. A journalist for much of his life, Cormier balanced his characters grim situations with a deft, vivid, lyrical style. Reviewing The Chocolate War, a critic for The New York Times Book Reviewdescribed it as masterfully structured and rich in theme; the action is well crafted, well timed, suspenseful; complex ideas develop and unfold with clarity. When it came to themes, Cormier was unromantic and unflinching. In I Am the Cheese, Cormier evoked the uneasy and elusive world of a boy whose father has testified against organized criminals; in The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, the story pivots around terminally ill teenagers; in TendernessCormier introduced a serial killer and a sexually manipulative teenage girl. Every topic is open, however shocking, he told a reporter for The Guardianin November of 2000, in what would be one of his last interviews. It s the way the topics are handled that s important. In Cormier s world there are no easy answers and few happy endings, but there is extraordinary insight into the world of adolescence: the cruelties, the isolation, and the often-bruising search for identity.
Despite his reputation as a disturber of the literary peace, Cormier was a small-town writer, who spent nearly his entire life working as a journalist for the Fitchburg Sentinelin Massachusetts; he published a memoir of his career in 1991 titled I Have Words to Spend: Reflections of a Small-Town Editor. In addition to four novels for adults, Cormier wrote one last novel for young adults, Frenchtown Summer, the story of a young teenager s arrival in a new town told entirely in the boy s poetry. He died on November 2, 2000.
精彩书评
"A horrifying tale . . . the buildup of suspense is terrific."--School Library Journal, Starred
"AN ABSORBING, EVEN brilliant job. The book is assembled in mosaic fashion: a tiny chip here, a chip there. . . . Everything is related to something else; everything builds and builds to a fearsome climax. . . . Cormier . . . has the knack of making horror out of the ordinary, as the masters of suspense know how to do."
--The New York Times Book Review
