by Jeffrey Steingarten
本書收集38篇作者在世界各地的美食探險 包括帶著昂貴的釣魚器材捕捉罕有的藍鰭鮪魚
或煮肋排給愛狗吃及追求咖啡的極致美味 (作者家中有一十四種最先進沖泡義式濃縮咖啡的機器). 作者的筆幽默慧黠 融合記者的深入報導及旅遊的異種風情
引導讀者進入終極美食的饗宴...
Summary
Vogue
magazine food writer Steingarten picks up where The Man Who Ate
Everything left off, offering foodies a mouthwatering collection
of nearly 40 obsessive essays. "Sometimes, I feel like a giant
bluefin, my powerful musculature propelling me around the world
in search of food," he explains in an essay about toro, the
tender tuna belly used in Japanese cuisine. Equal parts travelogue
and investigative reporting, Steingarten's writing is funny, fast-paced
and clever. Whether re-creating a perfect plate of coq au vin using
rooster procured from a live poultry market, braising ribs for his
dog or taste-testing espresso in his Manhattan loft cum laboratory
("Right now there are 14 brand new, state-of-the-art, home
espresso makers in my house...."), Steingarten proves himself
a true gastronome. Of course, his interest in food goes beyond haute
cuisine-freeze-dried foods, hot dog buns, even his beloved Milky
Way bars do not escape scrutiny. A few essays aren't even about
food. One follows the author's south-of-the-border search for phen-fen;
another contemplates New York City's "reservation rat race."
Recipes-and only Steingarten could add humor to the form-appear
throughout. Devoted readers will savor this collection (many of
the essays have won awards from the James Beard Foundation and the
International Association of Culinary Professionals); those unfamiliar
with the author will be clamoring for more.

美國星星監獄內幕報導 (暫譯)

by Ted Conover
平裝 331頁 一般開本
極富盛名的新聞從業人士 Ted Conover 為美國的監獄生活寫下大膽而有深度的報導Ted
Conover 在申請紐約州立糾正官學院被拒後 決定改申請監獄巡官的工作. 繼而展開他在星星監獄, 這家曾經是全美模範, 但現在是麻煩最多監獄
的探險歷程. 一年的經歷讓他孕育出這本傑出的作品. 作者檢視在這所全美最危險的監獄裡 所發生的各種罪惡. 販毒, 幫派, 性,
四處橫行, 加害者與被害者之間的界線常常是模糊不清的. 作者下筆沉穩且具懸疑性 不僅對美國的獄政及司法制度提出針砭之言 同時也是一本有趣的書...
Summary
In
books like Rolling Nowhere (about hoboes) and Coyotes (about illegal
aliens), Conover distinguished himself with brave, empathetic reporting.
This riveting book goes further. Stymied by both the union and prison
brass in his effort to report on correctional officers, Conover
instead applied for a job, and spent nearly a year in the system,
mostly at Sing Sing, the storied prison in the New York City suburbs.
Fascinated and fearful, the author in training grasps some troubling
truths: "we rule with the inmates' consent," says one
instructor, while another acknowledges that "rehabilitation
is not our job." As a Sing Sing "newjack" (or new
guard), Conover learns the folly of going by the book; the best
officers recognize "the inevitability of a kind of relationship"
with inmates. Whether working the gallery, the mess hall or transportation
detail, the job is both a personal and moral challenge: at the isolation
unit ("the Box"), Conover begins to write up his first
"use of force" incident when a fellow officer waves him
away. He steps back to offer a history of the prison, the "hopelessly
compromised" work of prison staff and the unspoken idealism
he senses in fellow guards. Stressed by his double life and the
demands of the job, caught between the warring impulses of anthropological
inquiry and "the incuriosity that made the job easier,"
Conover struggles but nevertheless captures scenes of horror and
grace. With its nuanced portraits of officers and inmates, the book
never preaches, yet it conveys that we ignore our prisons--an explosive
(and expensive) microcosm of race and class tensions--at our collective
peril. Agent, Kathy Robbins. First serial to the New Yorker. (May)

親親姊妹情

by Rebecca Wells
精裝, 288頁, 2005年3月出版
藉著兩本暢銷書及票房電影Ya Ya 私密日記的推波助瀾, Ya-Ya 姊妹會已成為當代美國文化的一部份 – 女性友誼力量的代名詞.
本書承續此傳奇, 披露更多主人翁Ya-Ya擁抱生命及與朋友分享喜悅的故事...
Summary
For
readers everywhere who are ga-ga for the Ya-Yas and clamoring for
more and for those who are lucky enough to be discovering the Ya-Yas
for the first time, comes a new book about the incomparable Sisterhood,
bursting with life and funnier than ever.... An emotionally charged
addition to Rebecca Wells' award-winning bestseller Little Altars
Everywhere and #1 New York Times bestseller Divine Secrets of the
Ya-Ya Sisterhood, YA-YAS IN BLOOM reveals the roots of the Ya-Yas'
friendship in the 1930s and roars with all the raw power of Vivi
Abbott Walker's 1962 T-Bird through sixty years of marriage, child-raising,
and hair-raising family secrets.
When four-year-old Teensy Whitman prisses one time too many and
stuffs a big old pecan up her nose, she sets off the chain of events
that lead Vivi, Teensy, Caro, and Necie to become true sister-friends.
Told in alternating voices of Vivi and the Petite Ya-Yas, Siddalee
and Baylor Walker, as well as other denizens of Thornton, Louisiana,
YA-YAS IN BLOOM show us the Ya-Yas in love and at war with convention.
Through crises of faith and hilarious lapses of parenting skills,
brushes with alcoholism and glimpses of the dark reality of racial
bigotry, the Ya-Ya values of unconditional loyalty, high style,
and Cajun sass shine through. Necies wise credo, "Just think
pretty pink and blue thoughts," helps too...
But in the Ya-Yas' inimitable way, these four remarkable women also
teach their children about the Mysteries: the wonder of snow in
the deep South, the possibility that humans are made of stars, and
the belief that miracles do happen. And they need a miracle when
old grudges and wounded psyches lead to a heartbreaking crime...and
the dynamic web of sisterhood is the only safety net strong enough
to hold families together and endure.
After two bestsellers and a blockbuster movie, the Ya-Yas have become
part of American culture -- icons for the power of women's friendship.
YA-YAS IN BLOOM continues the saga, giving us more Ya-Ya lore, spun
out in the rich patois of the Louisiana bayou country and brim full
of the Ya-Ya message to embrace life and each other with joy.

Everything
Bad Is Good for You: How
Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter
聰明是”玩”出來的!
-
by Steven
Johnson
相信嗎?電玩可訓練孩子解決問題的能力,讓他們在智力測驗上更勝一籌.
誰說電視有害？讓孩子看個過癮吧! 從神經科學,經濟學與文學理論三個不同的領域來探討,作者認為我們所亟欲擺脫的垃圾文化-如電玩、電視及上網，其實有助智能的發展...
Summary
From
the author of the New York Times bestseller Mind Wide Open comes
a groundbreaking assessment of popular culture as it's never been
considered before: through the lens of intelligence.
The
$10 billion video gaming industry is now the second-largest segment
of the entertainment industry in the United States, outstripping
film and far surpassing books. Reality television shows featuring
silicone-stuffed CEO wannabes and bug-eating adrenaline junkies
dominate the ratings. But prominent social and cultural critic Steven
Johnson argues that our popular culture has never been smarter.
Drawing
from fields as diverse as neuroscience, economics, and literary
theory, Johnson argues that the junk culture we're so eager to dismiss
is in fact making us more intelligent. A video game will never be
a book, Johnson acknowledges, nor should it aspire to be-and, in
fact, video games, from Tetris to The Sims to Grand Theft Auto,
have been shown to raise IQ scores and develop cognitive abilities
that can't be learned from books. Likewise, successful television,
when examined closely and taken seriously, reveals surprising narrative
sophistication and intellectual demands.
Startling,
provocative, and endlessly engaging, Everything Bad Is Good for
You is a hopeful and spirited account of contemporary culture. Elegantly
and convincingly, Johnson demonstrates that our culture is not declining
but changing-in exciting and stimulating ways we'd do well to understand.
You will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen
the same way again.
