TIRED OF WINNING: A CHRONICLE OF AMERICAN DECLINE
Book ID/图书代码： 01899519C00002
English Summary/英文概要： Polarised, enraged and spiritually bereft, America under Donald Trump seems to be on the brink of failure.
In this dazzling debut, award-winning Australian writer Richard Cooke takes a close-up look at the state of the United States. From the theology of opioids to the aftermath of a mass shooting, from #MeToo to the paintings of George W. Bush, Cooke’s reporting takes him from an East Coast ravaged by climate change to the dangerous world of the US–Mexico border.
This is not another diner-hopping week in Trump country: it’s a radical effort to capture dissonant and varied Americas, across more than twenty states. In brilliantly rendered accounts of poets, politicians and poisoned cities, Cooke finds a nation splintering under the weight of alienation – but showing resilience and hope in the most unexpected ways.
Entertaining and terrifying in equal measure, TIRED OF WINNING reveals the schisms and the clamour of contemporary America.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在唐纳德•特朗普的领导下，两极分化、愤怒和精神丧失的美国似乎正处于失败的边缘。
在这部令人眼花缭乱的处女作中，获奖的澳大利亚作家理查德•库克近距离观察了美国。从阿片类药物的神学到大规模枪击事件的后果，从二手研究到乔治•布什的画作，库克的报道把他从气候变化肆虐的东海岸带到了美墨边境的危险世界。
在特朗普的国家，这不是又一个频繁就餐的星期:这是一项激进的努力，目的是捕捉跨越20多个州的不和谐和多样的美国人。在对诗人、政治家和有毒城市的精彩描述中，库克发现一个国家在疏离的重压下分崩离析——但却以最意想不到的方式展现出了韧性和希望。
《厌倦了胜利》既有趣又恐怖，揭示了当代美国的分裂和喧嚣。（WYL）
