Giles Goat-Boy《羊童子贾尔斯》
Back Cover: John Barth is: "The best writer of fiction we have and one of the best we have ever had... His audience must be that prepared by Joyce, Proust, Mann and Faulkner. . .Barth is a comic genius of the highest order."-- THE NEW YORK TIMES book review "The Rudolf Nureyev of prose. . . Mr. Barth's prose is exquisite. It ripples and rolls across the page like a rockinghorse." -- THE NATIONAL OBSERVER "Clearly a genius. . . Original. . . brilliant. . ." -- THE NEW YORK TIMES "Like Mephistopheles -- or perhaps Batman.Giles Goat-Boy is a gothic funhouse fantasy of theology, sociology, and sex." -- TIME MAGAZINE "The most prodigally gifted comic novelist writing in English today. . .Who else but Barth would dare create a hero who was sired by a computer out of a virgin?. . . No summary can possibly convey the fantastic richness of the novel." -- NEWSWEEK "John Barth is a rarity among American novelists in having a brilliant mind. . . a mind that invents ideas. . . With his fourth novel, John Barth at 36 increases the likelihood that the years since World War II are among the most rewarding in the history of American Fiction." -- BOOK WEEK "Brilliantly conceived. . . In the school of philosophical bawdry. . .Giles Goat-Boy is probably the best American specimen so far." -- CHICAGO DAILY NEWS "Erudite word-wit. . . a fertility of ideas that is almost febrile, a colossal serio-comic point of view, big, bawdy and boisterous." -- VIRGINIA KIRKUS "John Barth must be acclaimed writer of the season. . . He stomps across the cosmos. What he sets out to do he does well. . . the biggest, bawdiest, and one of the best novels of the season." -- KANSAS CITY STAR Contents 4.
