The bestselling, award-winning author of The Radleys is back with his funniest, most devastating dark comedy yet, a “silly, sad, suspenseful, and soulful” (Philadelphia Inquirer) novel that’s “full of heart” (Entertainment Weekly).When an extra-terrestrial visitor arrives on Earth, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University, the visitor is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to his own utopian planet, where everyone is omniscient and immortal.He is disgusted by the way humans look, what they eat, their capacity for murder and war, and is equally baffled by the concepts of love and family. But as time goes on, he starts to realize there may be more to this strange species than he had thought. Disguised as Martin, he drinks wine, reads poetry, develops an ear for rock music, and a taste for peanut butter. Slowly, unexpectedly, he forges bonds w

VERA MAGPIE explores the gap between childhood fantasies of adult life and the stark reality of life in a women's prison. The eponymous narrator, Vera Magpie herself, is serving time for the murder of her three husbands, including Larry, a good man whom she loved, but doomed to die at Vera's hands because she has acquired a taste for murder. In prison, Vera experiences the reality that here are politics and a pecking order, just as in society at large, but here also she finds redemption through literature. Like many women who kill, Vera is a product of her own flawed past. But aspects of this past also count towards her early release from prison, as her new female lawyer successfully argues Battered Women’s Syndrome as a defence.-------------------------------------------------“Vera Magpie depicts pure life, nothing has been included or excluded, only human attitudes, psychology and behaviours have been condensed.”—Muhammad Shanazar “A knockout. This book is a little gem.”—J

★2002年銷售超過百萬冊★楊腓力畢生用心對待的一個主題！────────獻給每個住在這嘆息星球上的人────────一九四三年， 15歲的埃利．維瑟爾，目睹一位無辜男孩死於納粹集中營，內心充斥對信仰的失望，疑惑「上帝到底在哪裡？」。在當年維瑟爾的心裡，上帝已與這位男孩一同死去。一九六七年，棲身某個農場的移工家庭，面對基督信仰無能回應他們的貧窮問題，教會只是空泛要求基督徒不斷為現況讚美感謝、不要埋怨，不禁咆哮，耶穌能否從十字架上下來，親身體會他們所過的日子。身處不同年代，遭遇不同苦難，他們發出相同的吶喊，以及對上帝的質問。當受苦以各種不明白的樣貌出現，被龐大情緒壓得喘不過氣的我們，會很自然想知道「這些事為什麼會發生？」、「為什麼是我？」。甚至，有時原以為基督信仰能提供解答、給予安慰，沒想到給予的回應，竟是滿地的失望，或沉默。然而，對痛苦置若罔聞，是上帝的本意嗎？「痛苦的問題」一直是基督信仰深奧難解之謎。面對苦難的基督徒，就像走在一條鋼索上，就連那些聰穎或曾自認敬虔忠心的人，也不乏仆倒其上。因為這從來不只是信仰知識、神學議題，更是一位信靠上帝之人，期望自己未曾被上帝背叛的椎心之痛。楊腓力初次寫成此書雖年僅二十來歲，但本於追尋苦難意義的初衷，日後仍舊筆耕不輟，走進受苦者的世界。他整理、書寫這些尋獲的線索，歷經前後多次增修、改版，成為我們今日看到的這本著作。楊腓力循線發現，在這些看似無望的苦難現場背後，竟透著上帝的身影。那位無辜的男孩、那戶移工家庭，從來不是獨自一人死去，也不是孤苦無依、浮沉於世。因為上帝同樣經受過如此難以想像的傷痛，祂的兒子來到世上與我們同住，卻也為我們死在這個世上。祂受壓迫的痛苦身軀，是向我們顯明自己一直都在的證據，證明祂對我們不曾離棄過的諾言，述說痛苦終有救贖可能的希望。凡是探討痛苦與邪惡的問題，只要弄得到手，我都讀過。但這書是我讀過最清晰易懂，也最實用的一本。基斯．米勒（Keith Miller）《新酒芬芳》（A Taste of New Wine）的作者這是我讀過最有助於處理邪惡問題的一本書之一⋯⋯並且奠基於真正與人們對話的層次上。如果我需要物色某些物品可以送給正經歷煎熬或困難之人，我會推薦這本書。弗農．葛蘭茲博士（Dr. Vernon Grounds）前任丹佛神學院（Denver Seminary）院長真是本好書！大師之作！鉅細靡遺，令人動容，
