HEARTBREAKER: A MEMOIR OF JUDY GARLAND

Book ID/图书代码： 14780006B04507

English Summary/英文概要： This is the true story of an incredible romance, a penetrating memoir of two months in the last year of Judy Garland’s life, told by her unlikely lover - a man who found himself suddenly in a relationship with his idol. "Will you marry me? I never asked anyone before...but...will you marry me?" The voice belonged to songwriter John Meyer: the woman asked, his idol; a tarnished icon flickering weakly in the shadows of self-destructive abuse. The answer? "Why, yes...if you want me." And so Judy Garland joined her life with John Meyer, a songwriter with an entertainment slot in a piano bar on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. To many, she was the wistful girl dancing down the yellow brick road; the wondrous young woman singing on the St. Louis trolley or, smeared in tears, on the apron of a darkened stage. Meyer tells how he and Garland fell for each other: how he valiantly tried to save her from pills, alcohol and her own erratic behaviour. And, how he grappled with something he was totally unprepared for: romance with his idol - a near mythic, tragic figure who had become flesh and blood.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一本感人至深的回忆录，真实记述了Judy Garland生命中最后两个月的生命轨迹。本书出自作曲家John Meyer之手，对于他来说，能够与自己的偶像走到一起，这简直就是一段爱情的奇迹。“嫁给我好吗？我从未向任何人求过婚…不过今天…你愿意嫁给我吗?”面对着Judy Garland，这个饱受生活阴影折磨的巨星，John表达出了爱意。回答？“我？好的… 如果你愿意娶我的话.”就这样，一名曼哈顿并不起眼的作曲家，和一名娱乐巨星走到了一起。对于大多数人来说，Judy还是那个于黄砖路上翩翩起舞的小女孩；那个在圣路易斯放声高歌的女歌手。但本书中，Meyer将告诉读者他们彼此间的牵绊：面对深陷药品酒精及怪异嗜好的Judy，John曾勇敢地试图将她从中拯救出来；如何最终与自己眷恋的偶像喜结连理 – 那个貌似遥不可及、却又充满悲情的巨星，最终却走进了自己的生活，令得一切梦想成真。(AW)
