Mark Haddon specialises in innovative storylines in his work as an author, screenwriter and illustrator allied to his remarkable ability to demonstrate what it is to be autistic without sentimentality or exaggeration allied to a creative use of puzzles, facts and photographs in the text mark him out as a real talent drawing on a range of abilities. As Christopher investigates Wellington's death, he makes some remarkably brave decisions and when he eventually faces his fears and moves beyond his immediate neighborhood, the magnitude of his challenge and the joy in his achievement are overwhelming. Haddon creates a fascinating main character and allows the reader to share in his world, experiencing his ups and downs and his trials and successes. In providing a vivid world in which the reader participates vicariously, Haddon fulfills the most important requirements of fiction, entertaining at the same time that he broadens the reader's perspective and allows him to gain knowledge. This fascinating book should attract legions of enthusiastic readers. The imaginative leap of writing a novel -- the genre that began as an exercise in sentiment -- without overt emotion is a daring one, and Haddon pulls it off beautifully. Christopher's story is full of paradoxes: naive yet knowing, detached but poignant, often wryly funny despite his absolute humorlessness. Haddon's book illuminates the way one mind works so precisely, so humanely, that it reads like both an acutely observed case study and an artful exploration of a different ''mystery'': the thoughts and feelings we share even with those very different from us. Mark Haddon's stark, funny and original first novel, ''The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,'' is presented as a detective story. But it eschews most of the furnishings of high-literary enterprise as well as the conventions of genre, disorienting and reorienting the reader to devastating effect.

Elogiada amb entusiasme per milions de lectors arreu del món, El curiós incident del gos a mitjanit és una novel·la que no s'assembla a cap altra. El narrador, Christopher Boone, té quinze anys i pateix una forma lleu d'autisme. És tot un expert en matemàtiques, però sap molt poques coses sobre els els éssers humans. Li agraden les llistes, els sistemes, la veritat... Odia el groc, el marró i que el toquin. Mai ha anat sol més enllà de la botiga de lacantonada, però quan descobreix que algú ha matat el gos d'una veïna decideix iniciar una investigació. Lluny de fracassar, la recerca d'en Christopher, que emula el seu admirat Sherlock Holmes -el model de detectiu obsessionat amb el distanciament i l'anàlisi dels fets-, qüestionarà ben aviat el sentit comú i el comportament dels adults que l'envolten. En pocs anys, El curiós incident del gos a mitjanit ha esdevingut tot un clàssic.
