MY FRIEND JESUS CHRIST

Book ID/图书代码： 09520010B37578

English Summary/英文概要： When Nick is 13, he loses his parents in a car-crash. His sister, seven years his elder, is left to look after him. As he grows up, she longs to lose this brotherly millstone around her neck, but he cannot bear the thought of losing her protection. So Nick goes to extremes to retain her care and attention, putting himself, his girlfriend and others in harm’s way, striking up with a gang, and administering violence to order. One day he goes so far that suicide attempt breeds suicide attempt. On the other side of tragedy, he returns to his flat to find an intruder on his sofa - a biker who proves immune to Nick’s menace. The biker convinces Nick, first, that he is Jesus Christ, and, second, that he must now take charge of Nick’s life. Nick is moved to return to his home village, where he sets about reconstructing himself, and doing penance for his failures. He even finds love anew. But does he know what to do with it? And has he really learned anything from his sister or from his miraculous new mentor?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 來自丹麥的小說作品。

在尼克13歲的時候，他的父母親因為車禍過世，留下大他7歲的老姐挑起照顧他的重責，而尼克的姐姐也很努力照顧這個老弟。但隨著尼克長大成人，尼克的姐姐開始渴望擺脫這個弟弟，只不過她老弟可不這麼想。
他希望這‧輩‧子都活在姐姐的羽翼下…
為了達到這個目的，尼克開始想盡辦法讓老姊的注意力無法離開他。他讓自己和周圍的人陷入危險、混幫派，甚至還嘗試自殺。
直到有一天，他發現家中闖進一個陌生摩托車騎士，這個人不僅無視於尼克的威脅，反倒還讓尼克相信這位老兄是─Jesus Christ，而且從現在起，他將主宰尼克的生活。
這個基督朋友的出現是否將就此改變尼克荒腔走板的幼齒行徑，好好重整一下自己的人生？
LARS HUSUM這本既滑稽又嚴肅諷刺的小說，融合了各種超乎讀者想像的怪誕情節，但也就是在這樣的巧妙鋪陳下，深刻反射出了一個人決心重整自己荒誕人生的蛻變過程。(Kate Cheng)

“My Friendship with Jesus Christ has been sold to 7 countries (see below), many of them even before publication, and the well known Danish film production company, Nimbus Film, has bought the film rights and is writing the manuscript.”

Press quotes:
Ekstra Bladet: ”A surprise attack of a debut, which pairs dirty realism with incredible elements and a faith in the greater power of love”
Weekendavisen: ” An utterly well-written, thrilling and rather experimental novel with a strong drive, that thrives well on violence, fear, doubt and the will to become a better person.”
Sentura:”Husum writes humorously and sympathetically about his characters and manages at the same time to be effervescent. Like the Norwegian author Erland Loe he has the ability to mix the burlesque and the serious into an explosive cocktail.”

試讀：很好笑 lol…
In the bathtub
I’m fifteen the first time. I do it because I’m in love with Miriam with the red hair. She has large breasts, four freckles on her nose, and what’s more she’s a Jehovah’s Witness. I wish I were brave enough to speak to her, but I don’t utter a single word in all of Year Ten. She knows how I feel about her because I follow her around, even when we’re not at school. In the beginning, I hide behind bushes and trees, throwing myself to the ground whenever she turns to face me. Of course, she notices that I’m stalking her – I’m not really that good at hiding – but I have a reputation for being odd that makes her afraid to do anything about it. She tries to ignore me, but the more she ignores me, the closer I get. One fair May evening I even sneak into her garden and peep through her window. She is lying in bed, reading, while I stand outside in a flowerbed. Then she puts down her book, yawns, and suddenly our eyes meet. She is silent and terrified as she stares at me, and I give her a small, confused wave before I make a run for it. I do know that we’ll never be a couple, but the fact that she doesn’t want me is actually part of why I love her. I wank five or six times a day around this time. Actually, I wank just about everywhere, including in the flowerbed in her garden. Sis is worried because I shut myself in and seem so secretive, but really I am just randy.
