THE BIG NEW YORKER BOOK OF DOGS[qh]
《大纽约客们的狗之书》[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]
《大纽约客们的狗之书》是一本引人入胜的以犬类为主题的书——里面收录了从杂志档案中挑选出的一些知名人物创作的关于狗的小说、诗歌、特色文章、幽默语录、卡通画、封面艺术和作品草稿，包括E·B·怀特，麦拉.卡尔曼，约翰·厄普代克，约翰逊·莱西和罗尔德·达尔。书本分为四个部分——好狗，坏狗，贵族狗和平民狗——文章主题涵盖了进化、家庭生活、爱、家庭、服从、丧亲之痛、语言和其他内容，此外这本大部头在引言中收录了马尔科姆·格拉德威尔富于表现力的观察描写：“狗不是其他别的什么。狗就是狗。”[qh]
