THE LAST OF THE LIVE NUDE GIRLS: A MEMOIR
Book ID/图书代码： 12312511B46789
English Summary/英文概要： In the last of Times Square’s peep shows, a man pays $40 to watch a girl strip naked behind glass. These institutions, left over from the days when 42nd Street was the vicious center of vice, will soon disappear completely from a rapidly gentrifying New York City, their stories lost forever. Yet, the story of the peeps is too interesting and too vital to the history of Times Square not to be told. In The Last of the Live Nude Girls, Sheila McClear pulls back the curtain back on the little-documented world of the peep shows and their history. A late bloomer from the Midwest, McClear became a stripper in the peeps after finding herself adrift in New York. But after-dark Times Square seeped into her blood, and she ended up staying much longer than she imagined. The story she tells is not just of her own coming-of-age—nor is it one of sex and vice and salaciousness. Rather, it is a redemptive narrative of modern life on the fringes of society in New York City.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 时代广场偷窥秀的最后一段，一名男子付了40美元观看一个女孩儿在玻璃后面脱光衣服的整个过程。当年42街被认为是邪恶的中心，而这些社会习俗都是从那个时候遗留下来的，随着纽约城市优化的迅速发展，他们将会永久小时，这些故事也将被淹没在历史的尘埃中。但是，偷窥秀曾代表着时代广场很有趣并且很重要的一段历史，也正是本书所有讲述的内容。 在本书中，Sheila McClear将你的目光拉回到那段关于偷窥秀的鲜有记载的历史。Sheila是来自美国中西部一个成熟较晚的女孩儿，漂泊在纽约，后来成为偷窥者镜头里的脱衣舞女。但是时代广场的夜生活已经渗透到她的血液，这样的生活持续之久让她自己都没想象到。这书讲述的不是关于自己的成人礼，也不是关于性和邪恶，而是关于处在纽约社会边缘的现代生活的救赎。(兼职翻译FSF)
Awards/获奖情况：Review
Sheila McClear尖锐、温柔的叙述了一段纽约已销声匿迹的历史并提出了这样的问题，如果这样的一个地方或地方是可耻的，人们在回忆时为什么总能够满心欢喜？十分迷人的作品，很坦诚 —Mark Jacobson, author of The Lampshade and American Gangster。 她把身体和灵魂赤裸着放在了这本书中，却身穿名为“成功”的华丽霓裳步入文坛。--Charles Kipps, author of Hell’s Kitchen Homicide and Crystal Death
本书中有很多心里洞察以及隐喻，对于曾经尝试过采取非常手段渴望逃脱生活痛楚的人来说，都是一部不容错过的好作品。—Matthew Gallaway, author of The Metropolis Case
在读到这本引人入胜的作品之前，我一直以为曼哈顿仅仅是一个关于美食、时尚和购物的圣地。McClear 用她独一无二的声音，让我在万分激动中认识了一段走到尽头的“关于偷窥的历史”。—George Gurley, author of George & Hilly
这本书，没人至少需要有两本。—Gawker
