《七次谋杀简史》A Brief History of Seven Killings

作者：Marlon James

A failed assassination of Bob Marley becomes a prism through which to see Jamaica's history from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. Violent, lurid, scabrous, hilarious and beautiful, this novel teems with life, death and narrators.

对Bob Marley一次失败的谋杀成为七十年代出初到九十年代初牙买加历史的镜子。暴力、夸张、猥琐、放浪却又美丽，这部小说洋溢着生与死，有众多讲述者。

作者：Chigozie Obioma
