REEL PARADISE

Book ID/图书代码： 04B08026

English Summary/英文概要： In 2002, John Pierson, the author of SPIKE, MIKE, SLACKERS AND DYKES and guru of the independent film, persuaded his wife and two teenage children to move to Fiji for one year. Here on an electricity-free tropical island they ran the family business: the world’s most remote movie theater. REEL PARADISE is the Pierson family’s memoir about this extraordinay year. All four Piersons have contributed to this unique memoir: the mother, longing for Manhattan yet wide open to every new experience; 16-year old Georgia, the island’s object of desire; 13-year old Wyatt who takes the island life with nary a misstep; and of course John, admitted wildman in the midst of a midlife crisis. This is a tale of a family "in beautiful cultural dislocation" that is as original and eclectic as the family it portrays. All of this was caught on film by acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams and Stevie) and a tie-in documentary will be released simultaneously with the book. Photo insert. Trade Paperback. MS due November. KP

Chinese Summary/中文概要： John Pierson于2002年(曾写过《女高跟鞋,麦克风,懒鬼, 女同行恋 》，也是独立电影的泰斗)说服其妻和两个十几岁孩子迁居至斐济生活一年。在这座没有电的热带岛屿上，他们一家自主经营家族生意：全世界最偏僻的一家电影院。《电影天堂》记录下了Pierson一家这一年的特殊生活。Pierson一家四口都为这本书出了一份力：母亲Janet渴望去那个每去一次都会有全新感受的曼哈顿；16岁的Georgia是岛上的欲望之源；13岁的Wyatt则在岛上规规矩矩；当然还少不了John，他正陷入中年危机不能自拔，是公认的神经质…..本书讲述了一个“沦陷于”美妙的文化错位中的家庭的故事，原汁原味、观点折中就像它所描述的这个家庭一样。所有这一切都被叫座导演斯蒂夫·詹姆士一一捕捉在了镜头里，同时一部tie-in 版的相关记录片将与本书同期发行。
