ANOTHER FINE MESS: ACROSS TRUMPLAND IN A FORD MODEL T
Book ID/图书代码: 11701218C00120
English Summary/英文概要: Lacking even the most basic mechanical knowhow, Tim Moore sets out to cross Trumpland USA in an original Model T Ford. Armed only with a fan belt made of cotton, wooden wheels and a trunkload of ‘wise-ass Limey liberal gumption’, his route takes him exclusively through Donald-voting counties, meeting the everyday folks who voted red along the way.
He meets a people defined by extraordinary generosity, willing to shift heaven and earth to keep him on the road. And yet, this is clearly a nation in conflict with itself: citizens ‘tooling up’ in reaction to ever-increasing security fears; a healthcare system creaking to support sugar-loaded soda lovers; a disintegrating rust belt all but forgotten by the warring media and political classes.
With his trademark blend of slapstick humour, affable insight and butt-clenching peril, Tim Moore invites us on an unforgettable road trip through Trump’s America. Buckle up!
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 蒂姆•摩尔甚至连最基本的机械技术都不具备,于是他开着一辆福特T型车穿越美国特朗普。他只带了一条棉质的风扇带、木制的轮子和一大车“聪明的、英国佬的、自由主义的进取心”,这条路线只带他穿过投票给唐纳德的县,沿途会见那些投票支持共和党的普通民众。
他遇到了一个特别慷慨的民族,愿意改变天地,让他继续前行。然而,这显然是一个自相矛盾的国家:公民们为了应对日益增长的安全担忧而“装备起来”;支持含糖汽水爱好者的医疗体系正在崩溃;一个分崩离析的铁锈地带几乎被敌对的媒体和政治阶层所遗忘。
蒂姆•摩尔以其招牌式的幽默、和蔼可亲的洞察力和扣人心弦的危险,邀请我们在特朗普的美国进行一次难忘的公路旅行。请系好安全带!(WYL)
Awards/获奖情况:对《又是一团糟》的早期赞扬:
《经典福特杂志》写道:“这本书读起来轻松愉快,讲述的是一辆老爷车的公路之旅,同时也观察了美国当前的政治气候。”
《先驱报》阿利斯泰尔•马博特表示:“摩尔……非常善于吸收美国的奇异之处,并以一种随和的观察式幽默将其与读者联系在一起,这种幽默只有在他思考现任政府的过度行为时,才有可能被抛弃。
Early praise for ANOTHER FINE MESS:
"An easy and enjoyable read, it’s as much about the roadtrip in a vintage car as it is observations on the current political climate in America"
Classic Ford Magazie
"Moore… [is] very good at soaking up the strangeness of America and relating it to readers with an easy-going observational humour that only threatens to desert him when he contemplates the excesses of the current administration"
Alistair Mabbott, The Herald
