商品描述
A downtown New York classic about heroin and art, reissued for the first time. Linda Yablonsky's classic novel The Story of Junk is a gripping tour through downtown New York's art and music world of the 1980s, with detours to Naples, Bangkok, and more. We follow the narrator from her start working at a bar until she falls deeper and deeper into the world of heroin along with her rock musician girlfriend, using and then selling, with all the easy money and hard consequences that entails. Taut and gripping, but also a slyly funny, The Story of Junk is a ground-level look into another world, one that has passed into legend in the years since. But while the mythology of 1980s NYC may be reaching a peak, Yablonsky shows that beneath that gritty glamour, aspiring artists were working the same gritty jobs, chasing the same dreams and pleasures, with the same no-way-out conundrums as ever.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部以海洛因與藝術為主題的紐約市中心經典小說，首度再版。
Linda Yablonsky 的經典小說《The Story of Junk》帶領讀者深入 1980 年代紐約市中心的藝術與音樂圈，途中還繞道那不勒斯、曼谷等地。我們跟隨敘事者的腳步，看著她從在酒吧工作開始，逐漸與身為搖滾音樂家的女友一同深陷海洛因世界：先是吸食，接著販售，並承受隨之而來的輕鬆暴利與慘痛代價。
《The Story of Junk》節奏緊湊、扣人心弦，同時又帶著狡黠的幽默感；它從最貼近地面的角度，窺探一個如今已在歲月中成為傳奇的世界。儘管 1980 年代 NYC 的神話或許正逐漸攀至高峰，Yablonsky 卻揭示了那粗獷魅惑的表象之下：懷抱抱負的藝術家依然做著同樣艱苦的工作，追逐著同樣的夢想與快樂，也面對著一如往昔、看似無路可逃的困境。
