THE BIG NEW YORKER BOOK OF DOGS[qh]
《大紐約客們的狗之書》[qh]
The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs (public library) is a remarkable collection of canine-themed treats — fiction, poetry, feature articles, humor, cartoons, cover art, manuscript drafts — by a slew of titans culled from the magazine’s archive, including E. B. White, Maira Kalman, John Updike, Jonathan Lethem, and Roald Dahl. Divided into four sections — Good Dogs, Bad Dogs, Top Dogs, and Underdogs — and spanning such subjects as evolution, domesticity, love, family, obedience, bereavement, language, and more, this lavish tome embodies what Malcolm Gladwell eloquently observes in the introduction: “Dogs are not about something else. Dogs are about dogs[qh]
《大紐約客們的狗之書》是一本引人入勝的以犬類為主題的書——里面收錄了從雜志檔案中挑選出的一些知名人物創(chuàng)作的關(guān)于狗的小說、詩歌、特色文章、幽默語錄、卡通畫、封面藝術(shù)和作品草稿，包括E·B·懷特，麥拉.卡爾曼，約翰·厄普代克，約翰遜·萊西和羅爾德·達爾。書本分為四個部分——好狗，壞狗，貴族狗和平民狗——文章主題涵蓋了進化、家庭生活、愛、家庭、服從、喪親之痛、語言和其他內(nèi)容，此外這本大部頭在引言中收錄了馬爾科姆·格拉德威爾富于表現(xiàn)力的觀察描寫：“狗不是其他別的什么。狗就是狗。”[qh]
