FISH OUT OF AGUA: MY LIFE ON NEITHER SIDE OF THE (SUBWAY) TRACKS
Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B36608
English Summary/英文概要： A voice from the loudspeaker blared, “Will the family who brought the little redheaded white girl to the Puerto Rican Day parade please come to the bandstand to pick her up.” I looked around. Wait a minute. I am at the bandstand. I am that lost girl!
Michele Carlo, a redheaded, freckle-faced Puerto Rican raised in the Polish section of the Bronx, grew up as a permanent outsider. Too white for her proud, Spanish-speaking relatives and a mystery to her schoolmates, Michele braved a search for identity that was a long, rough and tumble ride…
By turns heartbreaking and humorous, she recalls the family calamities, fumblings of first love, and all the people and events that shaped her. From her “playground battlefield” in the not-so-wholesome summer of ’69 to many adrenaline-fueled, graffiti-filled afternoons and her emergence as an artist with a unique and alluring voice, Michele’s story is an homage to a New York City gone by…and an iconically American, unforgettable portrait of growing up.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个从扬声器传来的声音，“请在游行中走失的红发白肤小女孩的家人速到乐队摊位前领人。”我环顾四周。等了一会儿。我站在乐队摊位前。我就是那个走失的女孩。
米歇尔•卡罗（Michele Carlo）长着一头红发，脸上有些许雀斑，她在波兰某个地方长大，一直与所处的世界格格不入。跟她的同学相比，米歇尔太白，还有操着西班牙语的亲戚，对同学来说是一个谜，因而使得米歇尔开始调查身世的艰难道路。
她用心碎而幽默的口吻回忆了家庭灾难、第一次失恋以及那些改变她性格的人和事。米歇尔的故事是对逝去的纽约城的敬畏，讲了她1969年夏在“操场战地”的午后以及她后来成为艺术家的影响。这是一个美国偶像成长难忘的经历。(XJJ)
