One of our Thursdays is Missing: Thursday Next Book 6 ペーパーバック – 2011/2/22
英語版
Jasper Fforde
(著)
It is a time of unrest in the BookWorld. Only the diplomatic skills of ace literary detective Thursday Next can avert a devastating genre war. But a week before the peace talks, Thursday vanishes. Has she simply returned home to the RealWorld or is this something more sinister? All is not yet lost. Living at the quiet end of speculative fiction is the written Thursday Next, eager to prove herself worthy of her illustrious namesake. The fictional Thursday is soon hot on the trail of her factual alter-ego, and quickly stumbles upon a plot so fiendish that it threatens the very BookWorld itself.

商品の説明
レビュー
'Fans of the late Douglas Adams or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' * Herald * 'Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted. They have empathetic heroes and heroines who nearly make terribly mistakes and suitably dastardly villains who do. They also have more twists and turns than Christie, and are embellished with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett' * Independent * 'No summaries can do justice to the sheer inventiveness, wit, complexity, erudition, unexpectedness and originality of the works, nor to their vast repertoire of intricate wordplay and puns' * The Times *
著者について
Jasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring out of the window and chewing the end of a pencil. He lives and works in Wales and has a passion for aviation.

Ingeniously funny of course, but also surprisingly moving
2011年4月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
As in the rest of the series, the latest volume in the Thursday Next oeuvre is fast moving, hysterically funny, and amazingly clever, but this time it's also surprisingly moving. The fictional Thursday Next from the previous sequel is the lead, and in her struggles to save the intrepid real world Thursday Next by trying to figure out what her real world self would do, the fictional Thursday Next is oddly more sympathetic than her living, breathing counterpart.
One of Our Thursdays is Missing is set almost completely in Book World--the place where all the books we read are acted out, where Jane Eyre can cavort with Harry Potter or Hamlet or geologist Charles Lyell, where Rubik's Cubes cannot be scrambled, where fan fiction versions of popular characters walk around as thin as paper, and where Mediocre Gatsby, Rupert Bond, and Tracy Capulet resent their more famous siblings. It's a ridiculously fun alternate reality for book lovers.
All of the Thursday Next books are real treats, and so densely ingenious that I never want to read more than a chapter at a time. That means they spend a long time on my night stand, and now that this one is finished I feel bereft. The Thursday Next series is my favorite of Fforde's books. Shades of Grey with its thoroughly imagined culture based on color perception was enticing enough to keep me reading, and the Nursery Crimes series is almost as clever and funny as Thursday Next, but in both cases I missed the literary illusions and of course the quick-witted, resourceful character of the fictional and real world Thursday Next.

Fforde's Continuing Inspired Lunacy Wins Again
2011年3月20日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
"One of Our Thursdays Is Missing" is the sixth novel in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, and unlike many series, it is absolutely essential for the reader to have read the previous five volumes if one hopes to have a glimmer of a clue as to what is going on. That said, anybody who loves literary fiction, absurdism along the lines of Flann O'Brien and jaw-droppingly funny puns, allusions and other forms of written humour will, I hope, have already discovered the mad genius that is Mr. Fforde's written world. It's not really possible to describe what this book is about, other than to say it takes place mostly in BookWorld, the island world located inside a sphere in which all of the characters of written works live and from which they act out their lines whenever someone in the real world is reading their book. BookWorld is only one of many such realms, but we are concerned primarily with Fiction Island and its islets, where a Genre War of epic proportions is about to break out, and only Thursday Next can stop it. But the real Thursday is missing, so it falls to her fictional counterpart to do her best, even knowing that her best is nowhere near good enough....Jasper Fforde is easily one of my top 3 or 4 authors, and while I will never again have the joy of experiencing his fiction for the very first time, every single new volume from him is a cause for celebration. I cannot recommend this series highly enough, but I do caution that you must read the whole series, starting with "The Eyre Affair" and proceeding in order of publication. If you love good writing and inspired creative lunacy, you will be very glad to discover Jasper Fforde.
