内容简介 Book Description
January, 1982. Thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor - covert stammerer and reluctant poet - anticipates a stultifying year in his backwater English village. But he hasn't reckoned with bullies, simmering family discord, the Falklands War, a threatened gypsy invasion and those mysterious entities known as girls. Charting thirteen months in the black hole between childhood and adolescence, this is a captivating novel, wry, painful and vibrant with the stuff of life.

媒体推荐 Reviews
1. "David Mitchell is dizzyingly, dazzlingly good.... The everyday details of Jason's life are lyrically transformed by the power of his prose, which is beguiling, funny, beautifully poetic and always keenly observed."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Eithne Farry, Daily Mail

2. "Black Swan Green's 'I love 1982' nostalgia is a glassy, pitch-perfect, mock-innocent surface through which something rotten might appear"
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Ali Smith, Sunday Telegraph

3. "All the drama and inadvertent comedy of the onset of adolescence are brilliantly laid bare...a deceptively easy read, at times uproariously funny."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Joel Rickett, Evening Standard

4. "It is the best kind of contemporary fiction."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　M.John Harrison, Times Literary Supplement

5. "Mitchell is just about the best writer operating in Britain today...a novel that, like each of its predecessors, sticks in the back of your head for weeks after you've finished it."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Mat Smith, Arena
