52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER
Book ID/图书代码: 02330010B42631
English Summary/英文概要: My father is going to kill me. Actually, on second thought, he probably doesn’t have time to kill me. But he is going to send someone to do it for him. He’s really good at that. Sending people. He’s done it for every major event in my life. First day of school, first date, sweet sixteen party, birthdays, dance recitals, even my high school graduation last week. All of them faithfully attended and video documented by one of my father’s minions. He’s got loads of them. So many I can hardly remember any of their names anymore. But without fail, anytime something significant happens, one of them always manages to show up in my father’s place to perform the requisite “parental duty.” In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he sent someone to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. Although I’m sure his publicity team would never allow him to miss out on such a great opportunity for positive media exposure.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 父亲想要杀害我。
但是细想一下,他似乎并没有时间采取行动,但是他一定会找人做到。派遣人,是他一贯的强项,我生命中每一个重要的时刻,他都是这么做的。上学的第一天,第一次约会,甜蜜的十六岁生日,舞蹈演出,甚至是上周举行的高中毕业典礼。父亲的那些小喽啰们,像狗仔队一样出席了所有这些活动,并把全程活动录成视频。父亲身边这样的人太多了,我几乎记不起他们的名字。但是无一例外,只要是在重要的时刻,其中总会有一个人冒出来,站在我父亲应该会出现的位置,履行作为家长的“神圣使命”。如果在我结婚的当天,父亲也会派人陪我走在神圣的走道上,我想我一点都不会感到惊奇,虽然我确定,他的团队一定不允许他错过这个在媒体面前正面曝光的绝佳机会。(FSF)

Jessica Brody is the author of THE FIDELITY FILES, which Ebury Press will publish in November 2008. At twenty-eight years old, Jessica is living out her childhood fantasy of becoming a writer. Jessica was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Franktown, Colorado during her adolescence. She received her higher education from Massachusetts’ elite women’s school, Smith College, where she double majored in Economics and French. Prior to becoming published, Jessica worked in the field of strategic analysis for MGM Studio’s Home Entertainment group in Los Angeles.
Confined by the lack of creative freedom in her secure, strategic analyst job and inspired by her passionate childhood memories of writing, Jessica gave up her job with MGM in May 2005 and began working on the story idea that would later develop into THE FIDELITY FILES. After a one-month stint living in Paris to focus on her writing and an extensive re-write of her manuscript upon her return to the States, Jessica Brody landed a contract at The Levine Greenberg Agency and sold her debut novel to St. Martin’s Press in November 2006 (only 18 months after leaving her job).
Brody now works as a freelance writer and producer. Her first feature-length film production, entitled Orgies and the Meaning of Life, will be screened at film festivals in 2008 including the London Independent Film Festival in May. She currently writes for "Primetime in No Time," a hit TV recap show on Yahoo (http://primetime.tv.yahoo.com) and is working on her next novel, a sequel to THE FIDELITY FILES. Her first young adult novel, entitled The Karma Club, was just sold to Farrar Straus Giroux for US publication in Spring of 2010 and Jessica has also recently optioned a TV Movie script that she co-wrote with her father to producer Jeff Hayes (The Starter Wife, Nightmares and Dreamscapes) Jessica Brody lives in Los Angeles, California.
