I WAS DOUGLAS ADAMS’S FLATMATE: AND OTHER ENCOUNTERS WITH LEGENDS
Book ID/图书代码： 04560010B39626
English Summary/英文概要： Based on his Radio 4 series, Andrew McGibbon brings his sharp and witty attention to a group of people who spent time with legendary figures. Each interview gives the individual’s unique account of their association and offers an intimate portrait that humanises the artist. Relieved of the burden of a biographer, these glimpses, full of anecdote and detail, show the subjects in a different light, close-up and often very personal. Because while the legends encountered may be or have been extraordinary people they still suffered ailments, drank to excess occasionally, bumped their heads and fell in love. Featuring Ernest Hemingway’s "La Secretaria," Johnny Cash’s "Tailor," Moazzem Begg’s "Lawyer," Tina Turner’s "Only White Dancer," "Les Dawson’s Gag" Writer and a host of significant others, "I Was Douglas Adams’ Flatmate" finishes with the author’s own account, full of glorious and lurid detail, of his time as "Morrissey’s Drummer."
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 基于Andrew McGibbon的第四电台系列，他将敏锐机智的眼光投向与那些历史上的传奇人物共度过时光的人们。每次访谈都会揭秘名人艺术家的独特往事，并提供一张私房照。不像写传记那么正式，这种作品充满逸闻趣事和生活细节，展现了伟人的不同方面，而且经常是不为人知的秘事。虽然这类传奇描写的是杰出人物，但他们仍然会遭受疾病折磨，偶尔过量酗酒，和坠入爱河等。《我是道格拉斯亚当斯的室友》 描写了Ernest Hemingway 的秘书，Johnny Cash 的裁缝 ， Moazzem Begg 的律师和Tina Turner 唯一的白人舞伴以及其他知名人物。这本书以作者自己的解说收尾，兼有辉煌的和令人惊讶的细节。(兼职翻译-CDD)
