Roberto Arlt (1900-1942), celebrated in Argentina for his tragicomic, punch-in-the-jaw writing during the 1920s and 1930s, was a forerunner of Latin American "boom" and "postboom" novelists such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende. "Mad Toy", Arlt's most acclaimed novel, is set against the chaotic background of Buenos Aires in the early twentieth century. Set in the badlands of adolescence, where acts of theft and betrayal become metaphors for creativity, "Mad Toy" is equal parts pulp fiction, realism, detective story, expressionist drama, and creative memoir. An immigrant son of a German father and an Italian mother, Arlt as a youth was poor, often hungry, and dropped out of school in the third grade. In "Mad Toy" he brings his personal experience to bear on the lives of his characters.Published in 1926 as El Juguete Rabioso, the novel follows the adventures of Silvio Astier, a poverty-stricken and frustrated youth who is drawn to gangs and a life of petty crime. As Silvio struggles to bridge the gap between exuberant imagination and the sordid reality around him, he becomes fascinated with weapons, explosives, vandalism, and thievery, despite a desperate desire to rise above his origins. Flavoured with a dash of romance, a hint of allegory, and a healthy dose of irony, the novel's language varies from the cultured idiom of the narrator to the dialects and street slang of the novel's many colourful characters. "Mad Toy" has appeared in numerous Spanish editions and has been adapted for the stage and for film. It is the second of his novels to be translated into English.

看到《愤怒的玩偶》这本书的封面就被“阿根廷的陀思妥耶夫斯基”这个标签和那句“以自我毁灭式的邪恶文笔,凝望被侮辱被损害的众生”吸引了。笔者很喜欢陀思妥耶夫斯基,但一定要说清喜欢的理由,好像也很难,只觉得读他的书的时候,我好像也精神错乱,也在发疯发狂,在呓语。... (展开)> 更多书评 13篇
