多采多姿、熱鬧喧囂的人生故事,都發生在這家咖啡裡頭
安拉莫特的這本小說《喬瓊斯》,故事敘述發生在潔西咖啡屋那熱鬧喧囂的生活景致,宛如史坦貝克筆下那經營不善的濱海潛水中心;現年七十有九,痀僂消瘦卻惹人喜愛的潔西,多年前繼承了這間咖啡廳,如今儼然成了一個多采多姿的大家庭。廚子路易,餐廳不可或缺的人物、虔誠卻不忠的喬;以及潔西的同性戀孫子威利,以及那位猶如太后卻不曾開口說話的貴婦喬治亞,還有數十位形形色色的顧客,一同生活在咖啡廳這個幸福大家庭之中。
Anne Lamott's raucous novel of lives gathered around Jessie's Café.
Joe Jones is Anne Lamott's raucous novel of lives gathered around Jessie's Café, "the sort of broken-down waterfront dive one might expect to find in Steinbeck." Jessie, "thin, stooped and gorgeous at seventy-nine," inherited the café years before and it has become home to a remarkable family of characters: Louise, the cook and vortex, Joe, devoted and unfaithful; Willie, Jessies gay grandson; Georgia, an empress dowager who never speaks; and a dozen others all living together in the sweet everyday.
