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。 【封面繪圖構想】 書名《吞下宇宙的男孩》，緣於奧古斯特與埃利夜裡在街上灑水，看水池中反射的月亮。以這個為出發點設計一個廣場，背景是城市、公園及黑夜。右上是埃利灑完水後坐著休息，靜靜看著奧古斯特雙手揮舞在空中的樣子——這裡我把他跟月亮結合了，有種手語跟影像結合的超現實感。也讓這個安靜的構圖帶來一點衝突感，讓讀者看到封面感到好奇。 胡培菱（外文書書評人）、騷夏（詩人）、丁耕原（臨床心理師）——溫暖推薦 胡培菱（外文書書評人）、騷夏（詩人）、丁耕原（臨床心理師）——溫暖推薦 【得獎與選書紀錄】 ■...
