ONE WAY OR ANOTHER: THE STORY OF A GIRL WHO LOVED ROCK STARS
Book ID/图书代码： 01899512B51905
English Summary/英文概要： I looked down at this man who adorned the bedroom walls of girls all over the world. His eyes were spinning, his makeup was melting and he had the goofiest grin on his handsome face. This was what the Vulture Club was about. This was fun. This was as rock and roll as it got. I was bedding this rock god on behalf of every teenage girl who had ever imagined doing exactly this – and it felt fantastic.
In 1981, fifteen-year-old Nikki McWatters is living in a Gold Coast suburb, dragging herself through humdrum schooldays and dreaming of losing her virginity to a rock star. With three friends she starts the Vulture Club for aspiring groupies – and so begins a festival of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll. By day Nikki is a dutiful student; by night she collects rock stars, crawling out her bedroom window and sneaking backstage to meet the band.
As Nikki gets older, her conquests get bigger and the stakes get higher. Soon she finds herself in Sydney, chasing an acting career and carousing with her idols. From Australian Crawl to INXS, Pseudo Echo to Duran Duran, she is living her teenage dream – but is the groupie life all it’s cracked up to be?
One Way or Another is a rollicking ride through a world of pub rock, big hair, wild nights and mornings after. With irrepressible humour and a bulging little black book, Nikki McWatters recalls an age when everything seemed possible – even if everything wasn’t such a good idea.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他的卧室墙上满是来自世界各地女孩子的照片，我当时就这样低头看着他。他的眼神闪烁着，脸上的妆也全都化了，俊朗的脸上露出尴尬的笑容。这就是秃鹰俱乐部的生活，这就是乐趣，这就是摇滚乐。如同所有少女曾经幻想过的那样，我爱这位摇滚乐之王，而且这种感觉棒极了。 1981年，15岁的Nikki McWatters住在黄金海岸的市区，每天她过着枯燥的校园生活，一边幻想着向一个摇滚明星献初夜。和其他三个朋友一起，她成立了追星族秃鹰俱乐部，沉迷于性交，毒品和摇滚乐中。白天Nikki是学校的乖乖女，晚上她便从卧室的窗户爬出去，溜到后台去看那些乐队。
当Nikki慢慢长大，她的欲望更强大了，于是她冒的险也更大了。她来到悉尼，追寻着自己的演艺事业，与自己的偶像寻欢作乐。从《澳大利亚之旅》到《伊克斯》，从《Pseudo Echo》到《Duran Duran》，她慢慢实现了自己的少年梦想，但是她的追星生活是不是就此结束了呢？
《无论如何》令读者领略了这个充满了酒吧摇滚，狂欢的早晨与夜晚的世界。全书带点讽刺性的幽默，Nikki McWatters让我们回忆起了那个疯狂的年纪，似乎什么都可能发生，虽然并不是每件事都是个好主意。(兼职翻译-XAT)
