” –Beth Macy, author of Dopesick “May be the best novel of 2022.

Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this is the story of an irrepressible boy nobody wants, but readers will love.
” (Ron Charles, Washington Post) From the acclaimed author of The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees, a brilliant novel that enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival.
Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.
Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.
Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society.
Those problems have yet to be solved in ours.
Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration.
In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story.
Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.

纽约时报“2022 年十佳图书” 奥普拉读书俱乐部精选 * 纽约时报即时畅销书 * 华尔街日报即时畅销书 * 华盛顿邮报畅销书第一名 “恶魔是千古之声——类似于哈克Finn 或 Holden Caulfield——只会更有弹性。
” ——贝丝·梅西,《多普西克》的作者 “可能是 2022 年最好的小说……既搞笑又令人心碎,这是一个没有人想要但读者会喜欢的无法抑制的男孩的故事。
” (Ron Charles,华盛顿邮报)出自《毒木圣经》和《豆树》的著名作者,这是一部引人入胜、引人入胜并俘获人心的精彩小说,它唤起了一位年轻英雄在阿巴拉契亚南部山区的难忘成长之旅, Demon Copperhead 讲述了一个十几岁的单身母亲在一辆单人宽拖车中所生的男孩的故事,除了他死去的父亲的美貌和铜色头发之外,他一无所有,刻薄的机智和强大的生存天赋。
恶魔以他自己毫不留情的声音转述,勇敢地面对寄养、童工、荒废学校、运动成功、成瘾、灾难性的爱情和毁灭性的损失等现代危险。
通过这一切,他意识到自己在流行文化中的隐身性,在这种流行文化中,即使是超级英雄也抛弃了农村人,转而支持城市。
许多代以前,查尔斯狄更斯根据他作为制度贫困幸存者的经历及其对社会中儿童的损害写下了大卫科波菲尔。
这些问题在我们这里还没有解决。
狄更斯并不是这部小说的读者的先决条件,但他提供了它的灵感。
在将维多利亚时代的史诗小说移植到当代美国南部时,芭芭拉·金索尔弗 (Barbara Kingsolver) 激发了狄更斯的愤怒和同情心,最重要的是,他相信好故事具有变革性的力量。
Demon Copperhead 代表新一代迷路的男孩,以及所有出生在他们无法想象离开的美丽、被诅咒的地方的人。
