- 1. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a novel by Mark Haddon that brilliantly explores the life and mind of a 15-year-old boy named Christopher Boone, who describes himself as 'not a very good at understanding human beings.' Living in Swindon, England, Christopher is a mathematician with a keen knack for logic, yet he grapples with the complexities of social interactions, primarily due to his condition, which is indicative of autism spectrum disorder. The story begins with Christopher discovering the lifeless body of his neighbor's dog, Wellington, which sets off a series of events that lead him to investigate the mystery of the dog's death. As he embarks on this quest, Christopher not only seeks to uncover the truth behind Wellington's demise but also uncovers deeper family secrets, ultimately revealing the strained relationship with his parents. The novel is painstakingly detailed, providing readers with insights into Christopher’s thought processes and unique worldview, marked by his love for prime numbers and his distaste for metaphorical language. Through its innovative narrative style and emotional depth, Haddon's work invites readers to empathize with Christopher, presenting a poignant exploration of independence, trust, and the search for understanding in a world that often feels chaotic and unfathomable.
