Mark Haddon (Great Britain): The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

Translation: Kateřina Novotná, Argo 2003

In the beginning of the story we encounter a dead dog and a fifteen-year-old Christopher, who decides to clarify the murder. The boy, however, is slightly different from his peers - he is autistic. It is his “different perspective“ that makes the story a unique experience combining remarkably funny perceptions with a pedantic sense of accuracy.
