THE JUGHEADS

Book ID/图书代码： 12070014B69343

English Summary/英文概要： East Texas in the nineteen-sixties is not the worst place to have grown up, but for narrator Jake, it was a minefield.

Describing first jobs and first kisses, family vacations and family fights with unusual clarity and courage, Jake takes us through a wild ride of a coming of age, in an Ordinary American Family that is as violent and dysfunctional as they come. Despite his upwardly-mobile, working class father Richard’s draconian rule over the household, Jake manages to grow into his gifts as an artist and an athlete. But when Richard uproots the family to realize out his dream of “living off the land,” the realities of their fragile existence become too obvious to ignore.

By turns hilarious and shocking, The Jugheads is a compelling return to form for a master of the underside of the American psyche

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 20世纪60年代的东德克萨斯或许是人们心目中最糟糕的的成长之地，然而对本书的叙述者杰克而言，却更是他的危险地带。

杰克用非比寻常的清晰描述，为我们讲述了他的第一份工作，第一个吻，家族假期以及家庭争执，讲述了他在一个普通美国家庭里的狂野成年之旅，野蛮而徒劳。尽管杰克正处于上升的态势之中，尽管他工人阶级出身的父亲理查德对于整个家庭都实行着严酷的统治，杰克还是努力的想要往自己兴趣所在的方向发展，即成为一名艺术家和运动员。然而当父亲理查德带领全家举家迁移，只为实现他回归自然，远离文明的梦想时，他们全家脆弱处境的生存现实终于演变到了任谁也无法忽视的地步。

通过向喧闹和震惊的转变，《傻瓜》是一次令人印象深刻的回归，有关于诞生于阴暗的美国精神之中的一位大师。（DC）
