内容介绍

作者Belen Fernandez在2003年离开了她的出生地美国,从此没有回去过(她自我流放的决定在她上一本书Exile里解释得非常清楚,欢迎咨询版权)。她从2003年就在世界各地待过,唯一保持不变的是她不愿意“回家”的信念。当新冠病毒COVID-19发生的时候,她被困在墨西哥海岸的一个小镇里。


这是一个幽默、聪慧的回顾,叙述了她被困在那里的九个月中发生过的所有趣事。這次被限制旅游的时间段同时也给他机会去思考她过去的旅游经历,从北非到亚洲到东欧。她在那里跟一位七旬老翁结为好友,这个人也是个奇葩,让她见识到许多不同人生经历。在一个独特的时期待在一个独特的地方,呈现出一本独一无二的旅游回忆录。

好评:

“I doubt there’s another journalist quite like her… Fernández’s prose is so incisive, pithy, powerful, and often funny.” —Counterpunch


“One of the most poignant, searing, and, at times, deadpan critiques of the United States and its mass media that I have ever read… An extraordinary and unorthodox travelogue.” —The Los Angeles Review of Books on Fernández’s Exile


“This is a travel memoir like no other: incredibly funny, observant, humane, anarchic, politically incisive, sophisticated, and raffish. Belén Fernández is a dangerously enchanting siren." —Francisco Goldman, author of Monkey Boy


“A politically astute, world-wise, and occasionally hilarious gem of a book. Fernández's prose is an antidote to quarantine, an aperture to the anti-humanism of apartheid politics." —John Washington, author of The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexican Border and Beyond


“Written with the author’s trademark wine bottle in hand, between cartwheels on the beach of death, this book skewers politicians and other unworthy foes with a precision inaccessible to more sober writers...” —Adrienne Pine, author of Working Hard, Drinking Hard: On Violence and Survival in Honduras
