LITTLE BOY BLUES(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　For Malcolm Jones, his parents’ disintegrating marriage was at
the center of life in North Carolina in the 1950s and 60s. His
father, charming but careless, was often drunk and away from home;
his mother, a schoolteacher and faded Southern belle, clung to the
past and hungered for respectability. In Little Boy Lost,
Jones—one of our most admired cultural observers—recalls a
childhood in which this relationship played out against the larger
cracks of society: the convulsions of desegregation and a popular
culture that threatens the church-centered life of his family. He
richly evokes a time and place with rare depth and candor, giving
us the fundamental stories of a life—where he comes from, who he
was, who he has become.

　　Malcolm Jones has written features, reviews, and essays
for Newsweek’s culture section since 1989. Prior to that he
was a newspaper reporter in North Carolina and Florida. He lives
with his family in the Hudson River Valley.
