ROUTE 66 STILL KICKS: DRIVING AMERICA’S MAIN STREET
Book ID/图书代码： 04003012B53903
English Summary/英文概要： Route 66 Still Kicks is an exhilarating, heartbreaking drive down a forgotten road through unknown America. Author Rick Antonson and his travel nemesis, the inscrutable Peter, patiently journey 2,400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles through eight states seeking — and finding — all the old parts that remain of Route 66. This travelogue blends surprising vignettes with obscure stories about Route 66–related personalities, among them Al Capone, the Harvey Girls, Salvador Dalí, Mickey Mantle, 1930s photojournalist Dorothea Lange, Cyrus Avery (the Father of Route 66), and songster Bobby Troup "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66."
Antonson’s fresh perspective on the route’s harsh history, its ebb and flow of popularity and viability along with America’s economic and social upheavals underpaints a canvas of stories about the road’s rise to fame, its segmenting by superhighways, and its fall from grace with the gazetteers — and Route 66’s entrenchment in legend.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《依然活跃的66号公路》讲述了一段令人振奋且心碎的未知美国之旅。作者Rick Antonson和他的旅行克星，高深莫测的Peter，从芝加哥到洛杉矶，穿越了2400公里，只为了寻找66号公路的残余部分。 这篇有关66号公路的游记在晦涩难懂的故事中融合了令人惊喜的一些小插曲，故事中还有些其他有趣的配角，包括哈维女孩Al Capone，Salvador Dalí, 1930年代的摄影记者Mickey Mantle, ，Cyrus Avery (66号公路之父),还有歌手Bobby Troup。
Antonson对于公路的艰辛历史有着自己独特且创新的见解，包括它的低潮，其与人口的增加息息相关，美国的经济也决定其实用性，以及社会的动荡起伏也决定着公路的兴衰，它被高速公路分割，因为公报记者的报道而一蹶不振，以及66号公路的防卫工作。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况：我们也穿越了66号公路的部分路段，哪怕是梦中也好。在什么都可能，什么又不确定的懵懂年纪，66号公路旅程似乎是大多数年轻人的成年礼。Rick Antonson在其后几年驾驶着他的福特野马穿越了66号公路，这段经验可谓毫无规章，无拘无束。他年近中年，原来是伍德斯托克乐队的一个成员，后来到美国。在旅程中，他与Woody Guthrie，John Steinbeck在旅程中边唱边行，欣赏了各种地标性建筑。当然，在途中遇到的伙伴使旅程变得更加欢乐。在这段旅程完美结束后，Antonson证实了66号公路依然活跃，一如美国。(Keith Bellows)
