书籍介绍
"In me are the memories of a boy's life, spent in that realm of enchantments. These are the things I want to tell you...."Robert McCammon delivers "a tour de force of storytelling" ("BookPage") in his award-winning masterpiece, a novel of Southern boyhood, growing up in the 1960s, that reaches far beyond that evocative landscape to touch readers universally."Boy's Life" is a richly imagined, spellbinding portrait of the magical worldview of the young -- and of innocence lost.Zephyr, Alabama, is an idyllic hometown for eleven-year-old Cory Mackenson -- a place where monsters swim the river deep and friends are forever. Then, one cold spring morning, Cory and his father witness a car plunge into a lake -- and a desperate rescue attempt brings his father face-to-face with a terrible, haunting vision of death. As Cory struggles to understand his father's pain, his eyes are slowly opened to the forces of good and evil that surround him. From an ancient mystic who can hear the dead and bewitch the living, to a violent clan of moonshiners, Cory must confront the secrets that hide in the shadows of his hometown -- for his father's sanity and his own life hang in the balance....

喜欢这本书的中文译名 “奇风岁月”
This is the life that every boy must have been through. Fantastic, fascinating, captivating, enthralling and appalling.
《追风少年》
Beneath the cloak of suspense lies a wonderful journey of a young boy, brimming with innocent amusement and profound life insights. I believe that everyone will recall their own treasured recollections while reading.
A magical childhood accompanied my Christmas holiday 2022. There were joyous events; there were regrets; there were people one might miss very much. But his life moved on. I like the Lady’s quote about one must know where one has been to look forward to the future. Precise.
奇妙的悬疑故事
Just a shadow
"But life is just as much pain and mess as it is joy and order. Probably a lot more mess than order, too."
4.5分，虽然是少年读物，但是写的太好了。与译名《奇风岁月》相比，原题目boy's life非常朴实无华。60年代美国南方小镇风情画，加上一桩离奇的命案，二者被从一个男孩视角的魔幻现实主义手法和谐统一。文学理论课讲过，魔幻现实主义是放弃现实的逻辑换取情感逻辑的真实，所以如果觉得有些情节令人迷惑，不妨想一想，有魔力的黑人女巫、坏人掏子弹却掏出满把绿色小蛇、以及从马戏团逃进森林的三角恐龙，这些在一个男孩的头脑中，不是再自然不过的事情吗？最后一章——36年后回访衰败的故乡——是对这首童谣的当头一瓢冷水，但是作者加了一个生机勃勃的孤儿院，作为最后的亮色。
