Anthony Burgess: Kellopeli appelsiini

(A clockwork orange, 1962)

(Suom. Moog Konttinen, 1991)

 

Kustantajan kuvaus:

”Nuori Alex johtaa väkivaltaista jengiään futuristista valvontayhteiskuntaa vastaan. Alex jää kiinni rikoksistaan, ja hänet passitetaan suoraan systeemin mätään ytimeen. Kulttikirja on paitsi äärimmäisen väkivaltainen ja kriittinen teos myös kasvutarina pojasta mieheksi ja mehevä kielellinen herkkupala.
Kirjaa pidettiin pitkään suomentamiskelvottomana hengästyttävän slanginsa ja anarkistisen kielioppinsa takia, mutta Moog Konttinen osoitti epäilyt vääriksi.”

Lux Humana – Book of the Week 15 / 2012 : Vernon God Little

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DBC Pierre: Vernon God Little : a 21st century comedy in the presence of death , (2003)

 

Publisher’s description:

“Vernon Gregory Little has secrets – but none of them, or so he assumes, have anything to do with the recent massacre of sixteen students at his high school. What he cannot see is that the quirky Texan backwater of Martirio is unable to face its role in the tragedy, and has become a deadly crucible as all eyes turn on Vernon. The media, his mother’s social circle, and the increasingly prosperous townsfolk lead Vernon a merry dance of self-incrimination, as he flees to Mexico and is captured and put on trial as Texas’ most notorious serial killer. Then on the afternoon of his execution, Vernon conceives a wholly modern solution to his dilemma – one that calls for the greatest crime of all.

DBC Pierre was born in 1961 in Australia, brought up in Mexico, and has lived on both sides of the border. He has worked as a designer and is internationally published as a cartoonist. Since winning The Man Booker Prize in 2003 for Vernon God Little, he has also written Ludmila’s Broken English (2006).”
