NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "Part horror tale, part mystery, part romance ... utterly fantastic.”—O, The Oprah Magazine • The bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad brilliantly conjures a world from which escape is impossible and where the keep—the tower, the last stand—is both everything worth protecting and the very thing that must be surrendered in order to survive.

Mexican WhiteBoy
Author: Matt de la Peña
Publisher: Delacorte Press
ISBN: 0375891188
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Newbery Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Matt de la Peña's Mexican WhiteBoy is a story of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of definitions. Danny's tall and skinny. Even though he’s not built, his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five mile an hour fastball, but the boy’s not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound he loses it. But at his private school, they don’t expect much else from him. Danny’ s brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the border means everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he can’t speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they’ve got him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Danny’s convinced it’s his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico. That’s why he’s spending the summer with his dad’s family. Only, to find himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to see--the demons that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming. Matt de la Peña's critically acclaimed novel is an intimate and moving story that offers hope to those who least expect it. "[A] first-rate exploration of self-identity."-SLJ "Unique in its gritty realism and honest portrayal of the complexities of life for inner-city teens...De la Peña poignantly conveys the message that, despite obstacles, you must believe in yourself and shape your own future."-The Horn Book Magazine "The baseball scenes...sizzle like Danny's fastball...Danny's struggle to find his place will speak strongly to all teens, but especially to those of mixed race."-Booklist "De la Peña blends sports and street together in a satisfying search for personal identity."-Kirkus Reviews "Mexican WhiteBoy...shows that no matter what obstacles you face, you can still reach your dreams with a positive attitude. This is more than a book about a baseball player--this is a book about life."-Curtis Granderson, New York Mets outfielder An ALA-YALSA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults A Junior Library Guild Selection

台灣文學英譯叢刊(No. 40)

Publisher: 國立臺灣大學出版中心
ISBN: 9863502405
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
白先勇,可以說是當代華文作家中,不論是在台灣、在中國、在東南亞、在其他各地的華人世界中,最負盛名、最受肯定的作家。他的文學活動、創作成就和作家地位,與台灣文學的關係,是一個值得探討的現象,也是本叢刊這一專輯譯介他的作品的主要原因和探討的主題。 這一專輯,由白先勇提供尚未翻譯成英文的小說,共五篇。其中收錄在《紐約客》中的有四篇:〈謫仙怨〉、〈骨灰〉、〈Danny Boy〉、〈Tea for Two〉。加上1971年作者與夏志清合譯的〈謫仙記〉,以及1980年作者與尹佩霞合譯的〈夜曲〉,《紐約客》一書中的六篇,以此完結。此外另有一篇近作,〈Silent Night〉,該是屬於《紐約客》系列,最初發表於《聯合報》「當代小說特區」(2015年12月24-25日)。 除了五篇小說之外,我們另外選譯了四篇散文,代表四個不同的題材,呈現在評論方面的不同面向:對《現代文學》當初創刊的回顧、五四以來中國小說缺乏藝術經營的問題、小說與電影的關係,以及一篇對新詩的評論—白先勇知道台灣詩壇壁壘分明,向來不涉及新詩的評論,這篇〈望帝春心的哀歌—讀杜國清的《心雲集》〉,也可以看出小說家與詩人對人生愛與哀的情感書寫,自有一份戚戚然的知音共鳴。 It could be said that Pai Hsien-yung is the most renowned and broadly recognized contemporary Chinese writer, whether in Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, or any other region of the Chinese world. His literary activities, achievements, and status as an eminent writer within the context of Taiwan literature is a phenomenon worthy of study. Therefore, we dedicate an entire issue to exploring it.
