书籍简介

《迈阿密》不仅是一幅城市肖像，更是一部关于移民与流亡、激情、虚伪和政治暴力的杰作，出自畅销书作家、获奖作家、《奇想之年》和《让我告诉你我的意思》的作者之手。

菲德尔·卡斯特罗曾在此筹款推翻巴蒂斯塔政权，而卡斯特罗的两代敌人也曾在此集结军队试图推翻他，但至今仍未成功。古巴流亡的苦涩歌剧与美国外交政策的犬儒主义在此交织。这座城市的谋杀率飙升，其根源在于dp交易、种族不满以及一场发生在南部90英里岛屿上的未宣之战。

狄迪恩在追踪迈阿密如何滑向第三世界中心的同时，也将其置于冷战的隐秘历史之中，从猪湾事件到里根主义，从肯尼迪遇刺到水门事件，无所不包。

Miami is not just a portrait of a city, but a masterly study of immigration and exile, passion, hypocrisy, and political violence, from the bestselling, award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Let Me Tell You What I Mean.

It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy. It is a city whose skyrocketing murder rate is fueled by the cocaine trade, racial discontent, and an undeclared war on the island ninety miles to the south.

As Didion follows Miami's drift into a Third World capital, she also locates its position in the secret history of the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs to the Reagan doctrine and from the Kennedy assassination to the Watergate break-in.

A portion of National Book Foundation citation read: "An incisive observer of American politics and culture for more than forty-five years, Didion's distinctive blend of spare, elegant prose and fierce intelligence has earned her books a place in the canon of American literature as well as the admiration of generations of writers and journalists."

Didion said of her writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." She died in December 2021.
