Stuart:A Life Backwards

Stuart: A Life Backwards是英國作家亞歷山大·馬斯特斯於2007年出版的傳記作品,由Bantam Dell出版集團發行。作者基於在劍橋無家可歸者收容所工作和運營街頭報紙的經歷,通過逆向追溯流浪漢斯圖爾特·肖特的生命軌跡,揭示其從暴力犯罪到童年創傷的破碎人生。

本書打破傳統傳記的線性結構,以倒敘手法呈現主人公從33歲潦倒街頭、經歷司法系統困境,回溯至童年受虐的轉折歷程。通過斯圖爾特的黑幽默自述與作者深度對話,交織藥物濫用、肌肉萎縮症等身體困境,探討社會邊緣群體在官僚制度壓抑下的生存困境。書中穿插法律援助者對抗市政機構等支線,實驗性敘事重構被忽視者的精神創傷與社會性壓抑的共生關係。

內容簡介

This is a book about Stuart Shorter, who led a very controversial and unpleasant life.
"By turns shocking, inspiring, and hilarious, Stuart: A Life Backwards is a writer's quest to give voice to a man who, beneath his forbidding exterior, has a message for us all: that every life -- even the most chaotic, crippled, and doomed -- is a story worthy of being told."

作者簡介

Born in NY in 1965 and studied physics and mathematics in London and Cambridge. For five years he worked in hostels for the homeless and ran a street newspaper.
