內容簡介
兄弟情誼、神奇預言與不可思議的友情
男孩埃利.貝爾與哥哥奧古斯特,住在澳洲布里斯本的郊區。那裡聚集波蘭與越南難民;那裡的媽媽經常有黑眼圈,因為爸爸喝酒後會打人;那裡的大人會突然消失;那裡毒品氾濫;那裡沒有埃利嚮往的小巷盡頭……那裡彷彿被全世界遺棄。
埃利最要好的朋友「瘦皮猴」,是謀殺罪的重刑犯,因為越獄而成為傳奇人物。瘦皮猴教埃利如何觀察事物並詳細描述;教埃利運用想像力,來闖過生活中的難關;教埃利成為值得敬重的人。
奧古斯特不說話,他只伸手在空中寫字,用眼神與肢體動作示意,因為不說話可以知道更多事。無眠的夜裡,奧古斯特會帶著埃利在地面灑水,欣賞月亮在水中的倒影。這時候,彷彿月亮被收在「月池」中;而兄弟倆就是能隨著想像力馳騁,吞下宇宙的男孩。
雖然埃利擁有老靈魂和成年人的心智,也學習當個好人,但是生活不斷朝他的人生道路拋擲障礙物:毒梟在某天夜裡侵入他家,帶走他最深愛的萊爾,並串通警察逮捕媽媽;這一夜,埃利還失去一隻手指,兄弟倆今後只能跟酒鬼生父住在一起……
《吞下宇宙的男孩》深刻描寫澳洲中下階層無以為繼的生活困境,將殘酷的現實做了正向的轉化,帶點詩意,帶點幻想。埃利與奧古斯特的成長故事是苦中作樂的生命冒險,他們將經歷的各種創傷轉變成生命的養分,來保持對生命的熱愛。

"The best book I read this decade. " -Sharon Van Etten in Rolling Stone
“Boy Swallows Universe hypnotizes you with wonder, and then hammers you with heartbreak. . . . Eli’s remarkably poetic voice and his astonishingly open heart take the day. They enable him to carve out the best of what’s possible from the worst of what is, which is the miracle that makes this novel marvelous.” -Washington Post
A "thrilling " (New York Times Book Review) novel of love, crime, magic, fate and a boy’s coming of age in 1980s Australia, named one of the best literary fiction titles of 2019 by Library Journal.
Eli Bell’s life is complicated. His father is lost, his mother is in jail, and his stepdad is a heroin dealer. The most steadfast adult in Eli’s life is Slim—a notorious felon and national record-holder for successful prison escapes—who watches over Eli and August, his silent genius of an older brother.
Exiled far from the rest of the world in Darra, a neglected suburb populated by Polish and Vietnamese refugees, this twelve-year-old boy with an old soul and an adult mind is just trying to follow his heart, learn what it takes to be a good man, and train for a glamorous career in journalism. Life, however, insists on throwing obstacles in Eli’s path—most notably Tytus Broz, Brisbane’s legendary drug dealer.
But the real trouble lies ahead. Eli is about to fall in love, face off against truly bad guys, and fight to save his mother from a certain doom—all before starting high school.
A story of brotherhood, true love, family, and the most unlikely of friendships, Boy Swallows Universe is the tale of an adolescent boy on the cusp of discovering the man he will be. Powerful and kinetic, Trent Dalton’s debut is sure to be one of the most heartbreaking, joyous and exhilarating novels you will experience.
