SUGAR MAN: THE LIFE, DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF SIXTO RODRIGUEZ

Book ID/图书代码： 13160015B83136

English Summary/英文概要： In the summer of 1972, during a compulsory stint in the South African military, Stephen ’Sugar’ Segerman heard the music that would forever change his life. A decade later, on yet another military base, Craig Bartholomew Strydom heard the same music. It would have a profound effect. Who was this folk singer who resonated with South Africa’s youth? No one could say. All that anyone knew was his name - Rodriguez - and the fact that he had killed himself on stage after reading his own epitaph.

After many years of searching in a pre-internet age, Strydom with support from Segerman found the musician not dead but alive and living in seclusion in Detroit. Even more remarkable was the fact that Rodriguez, no longer working as a musician and struggling to eke out a blue-collar existence, had no idea that he had been famous for over 25 years in a remote part of the world...

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1972年的夏天，在南非军队的义务服役途中，老糖史蒂芬•塞格曼偶然间听到了一段改变其一生的音乐。十年后，在另一个军事基地里，克雷格•巴斯罗姆•斯特莱顿也听到了同样的音乐。这音乐声无疑有着极为深沉而巨大的影响力。这名让非洲青年们共鸣不已的民谣乐手究竟是谁？谁也无从知晓。人们所知道的只有他的名字---罗德里格兹---以及他在台上朗诵完自己的墓志铭便随即自杀的传闻。

在塞格曼的帮助下，斯特莱登在那个网络尚未诞生的年代里苦苦追寻多年，并最终发现这名音乐家并没有离开人世，而是在底特律市过着离群索居的生活。更令人难以相信的是不再是音乐人，而是作为一名普通工薪阶层苦苦挣扎的罗德里格兹竟然完全不知晓自己在世界遥远的另一边已经红了了二十五余年。。。。。。(DC)
