《紐約客》漫畫(huà)家、《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)作家羅茲·查斯特(Roz Chast)是土生土長(zhǎng)的布魯克林人，后來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)行到郊區(qū)通勤，被認(rèn)為是典型的紐約人。他一直對(duì)曼哈頓的輝煌景象充滿(mǎn)熱情——每天在人行道上飆車(chē)的人和閑逛的人之間的沖突，各種迷人的著裝要求，以及來(lái)自社會(huì)各界的靈魂無(wú)價(jià)的瘋狂爆發(fā)。
New Yorker cartoonist and NYT bestselling author Roz Chast, native Brooklynite-turned-suburban commuter deemed the quintessential New Yorker, has always been intensely alive to the glorious spectacle that is Manhattan--the daily clash of sidewalk racers and dawdlers, the fascinating range of dress codes, and the priceless, nutty outbursts of souls from all walks of life.
對(duì)查斯特來(lái)說(shuō)，適應(yīng)城市之外的生活是超現(xiàn)實(shí)的(你可以擁有樹(shù)木!?)你必須開(kāi)車(chē)!?)，但她意識(shí)到，孩子們的情況正好相反。在進(jìn)城的路上，他們會(huì)驚嘆于曼哈頓奇特的視覺(jué)世界——被熏黑的人行道口香糖團(tuán)，“那些西區(qū)故事里的東西”(防火梯)——瘋狂的蜂窩狀系統(tǒng)和網(wǎng)格。
For Chast, adjusting to life outside the city was surreal (you can own trees!? you have to drive!?), but she recognized that the reverse was true for her kids. On trips into town, they would marvel at the strange visual world of Manhattan--its blackened sidewalk gum wads, "those West Side Story-things" (fire escapes)--its crazily honeycombed systems and grids.
通過(guò)查斯特古怪的滑稽、大笑、感人和真實(shí)的漫畫(huà)，《進(jìn)城》部分是紐約故事(這個(gè)島國(guó)的“偷聽(tīng)和監(jiān)督”)，部分是步行、交談、租房和發(fā)泄的個(gè)人和實(shí)用指南——這是一封不可抗拒的、獨(dú)一無(wú)二的寫(xiě)給城市的情書(shū)。
Told through Chast's singularly zany, laugh-out-loud, touching, and true cartoons, Going into Town is part New York stories (the "overheard and overseen" of the island borough), part personal and practical guide to walking, talking, renting, and venting--an irresistible, one-of-a-kind love letter to the city.
