注:在二十世纪二三十年代的美国文坛,菲茨杰拉德(F.Scott Fitzgerald)占着一个重要的位置。他是“迷惘的一代”(Lost Generation)的代表作家,也是“爵士乐时代”(Jazz Age)的桂冠诗人。《漂亮冤家》(The Beautiful and Damned)是他三部长篇小说之一,其他两部是《了不起的盖茨比》(The Great Gatsby)及《夜色温柔》(Tender is the Night)。
The "Sex and the City" columnist for the New York Observer documents the social scene of modern-day Manhattan. The reader gets an introduction to "Modelizers," the men who only have eyes for models, as well as a more common species, the "Toxic Bachelor." Reading like a society novel gone downtown and askew, Sex and the City is a comically sordid look at status and ambition and the many characters consumed by the sexual politics of the '90s.
