CAR TROUBLE: A CHILDHOOD ON FOUR WHEELS
Book ID/图书代码： 08430010B36376
English Summary/英文概要： Wensley Clarkson’s mum and dad lived on a different planet from most parents as he grew up in post-war London in the late 1950s and ’60s. His mother spent much of her time nursing a tumbler of whisky and a bottle of pills, while his father edited one of Britain’s bestselling weekly newspapers.
Most children were taken to playgrounds and parks to play, but Wensley was left sitting in the front seat of the family saloon car outside pubs for hours with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps. As a result, he got a taste for driving at a dangerously early age and created his own strange motoring netherworld away from the boozy, irresponsible, childish adults he was supposed to look up to.
Car Trouble presents a portrait of a middle-class boy virtually left to run his own life in one of the world’s biggest cities. Yet through that neglect emerged a quick-witted survivor whose life was uniquely shaped by his childhood obsession with cars.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 温斯利•克拉克森（Wensley Clarkson）成长于20世纪五六十年代末期战后的伦敦，他的父母与常人不同。他的母亲一天到晚喝酒吃药，他的父亲那时要编辑英国畅销周报。
大多数孩子都去操场、公园玩耍，温斯利常常被丢在家里外出参加派对坐的车子前面几个小时，和一些零食。结果，他很早就开始飙车，创出了让同龄人艳羡的驾车技术。
本书描绘的是一个真实的中产阶级男孩身处世界上最大的城市之一，自我经营人生的故事。他人生的独特在于对车子的痴迷。(XJJ)
