Awards/获奖情况：书评

语言会以各种形式发生，但最奇怪的莫过于以剥夺睡眠，从而导致大规模的精神紊乱这样一种形式进行，这样的情况正出现在阿德里安•巴纳斯的这部大胆的创新式小说《瞌睡》之中。 (Bluemoose, £7.99). 保罗是一名愤世嫉俗的写手，目前正创作着一部有关于虚幻文字的非小说类作品，当世界饱受摧残，当绝大多数公民开始出现自我主义现实的幻象，保罗作为一名梦游者和一名语言艺术大师，他所能做的恰恰是影响他人。巴纳斯巧妙地运用这一构想去探索感知、救赎的本性，以及有关于个人和社会的浩劫。十分杰出的一部作品。 --《卫报》 --本文仅适用于本书的纸质版。 Review
The apocalypse comes in many forms, but none stranger than that of the chronic sleep deprivation that leads to mass psychosis in Adrian Barnes’s audacious novel Nod (Bluemoose, £7.99). Paul is a misanthropic hack writing a non-fiction book about obscure words when the world is afflicted and the majority of citizens begin to hallucinate solipsistic realities that Paul, as a Sleeper and a wordsmith, can influence. Barnes employs this brilliant idea to explore the nature of perception, redemption, and personal and social catastrophe. Outstanding. --The Guardian --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
