Bright Lights, Big Ass

內容簡介

內容簡介 Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining. Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.

各界推薦

各界推薦 長到另人驚駭大笑的副書名，已經儼然成為作者的招牌記號之一了。繼暢銷書《Bitter Is the New Black》之後，作者再度以她幽默到讓人有點受不了的妙筆，描寫大都會男女的現實生活。 與其說是小說，本書的形式更像是短篇的評論文章，揭露了城市生活的真實面，其實並不如大家所想像中的那樣五彩光鮮啊。 作者也說，其實她一點也不想打破眾人對城市生活的粉紅色夢想，但她不得不說出實話。我們在電視影集和電影中所看到的，大城市裡的男男女女都是每天打扮得亮麗耀眼，每天到處參加派對；但真實生活中，大家卻更常為了生活而掙扎得披頭散髮、面孔泛油。不過幸好有作者，她永遠有辦法在地獄般的生活中找到無窮樂趣，並且放肆地嘲笑生活。她遇上了惡鄰居，而她居然跑去向國土安全局投訴！？她的樓層管理員實在太惡劣了，所以她要想盡辦法對抗--儘管最後她還是輸了，但我們都會忍不住為她喝采！ 延續作者所擅長的風格，本書在推出後也相同地立即獲得讀者和媒體的共同好評。我們也許不是住在大都會--大多數地我們更不是住在美國，但是有許多對生活的感想都能在作者的筆下找到共鳴。希望讀到和《Sex and the City 慾望城市》不同的都會小說嗎？那你一定不能錯過本書！ ■精采內文試閱【精采書摘】
