    ANOTHER PLANET: A TEENAGER IN SUBURBIA

    Book ID/图书代码: 03635019C00022

    English Summary/英文概要: In a 1970s commuter town, Tracey Thorn’s teenage life was forged from what failed to happen. Her diaries were packed with entries about not buying things, not going to the disco, the school coach not arriving.

    Before she became an acclaimed musician and writer, Tracey Thorn was a typical teenager: bored and cynical, despairing of her aspirational parents. Her only comfort came from house parties, Meaningful Conversations and the female pop icons who hinted at a new kind of living.

    Returning more than three decades later to Brookmans Park, scene of her childhood, Thorn takes us beyond the bus shelters and pub car parks, the utopian cul-de-sacs, the train to Potters Bar and the weekly discos, to the parents who wanted so much for their children, the children who wanted none of it. With endearing wit and great insight, Thorn reconsiders the Green Belt post-war dream so many artists have mocked, and yet so many artists have come from.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在上世纪70年代的一个通勤小镇上,特蕾西·索恩的青少年生活就是从失败中成长起来的。她的日记里写满了不买东西、不去迪斯科、学校教练不来的事情。

    在成为著名的音乐家和作家之前,特蕾西·索恩是一个典型的青少年:厌倦、愤世嫉俗,对有抱负的父母感到绝望。她唯一的安慰来自家庭聚会、有意义的谈话和暗示一种新生活方式的女性流行偶像。

    三十多年后回到布鲁克曼斯公园,现场,她的童年,我们超出了公交候车亭和酒吧停车场、乌托邦式的死路,火车波特斯巴和每周的迪斯科舞厅,父母想要那么多的孩子,孩子想要的。带着可爱的智慧和伟大的洞察力,索恩重新思考了许多艺术家曾经嘲笑过的绿化带的战后梦想,然而也有许多艺术家来自绿化带。(WYL)

    Awards/获奖情况:“一个美丽的作家…例外……让我屏住呼吸…她的语言直截了当,健谈,易读。索恩告诉了我们尖锐的事实,但我们还是狼吞虎咽,因为她用一种令人迷惑的、美丽的、令人心酸的方式传达了这些事实”(米兰达·索耶金融时报)

    “当索恩深入挖掘她的青春期时,书中迸发出智慧和辛酸的火花,这得益于她的青少年日记,她巧妙地利用其中的幽默和浮华。”(《泰晤士报》)

    "A beautiful writer . . . Exceptional . . . Made me catch my breath . . . Her language is straightforward, chatty, easy-to-read. Musical. Though Thorn tells us sharp truths, we gobble them up because she delivers them in such a deceptively pretty, poignant way" (Miranda Sawyer Financial Times)

    "When Thorn digs into her adolescence, the book sparks with wit and poignancy, helped by extracts from her teenage diaries that she smartly exploits for comedy and bathos" (The Times)
