史蒂夫賈伯斯長女自傳
作者麗莎‧布倫南-賈伯斯出生在一個農場,父親是鼎鼎大名的Apple公司創辦人,是科技界的傳奇,但就跟所有忙碌商人的小孩一樣,麗莎小時候鮮少和父親互動。
當她漸漸長大,父親開始把注意力投注在她身上,帶她去旅遊、幫她安排學校等等,但她的父親可不是一般人,在父女兩人的互動中,賈伯斯有時會很冷漠、難以預測下一步的行為。
在高中時期和負責照顧自己的母親鬧僵了之後,麗莎投靠父親,希望他可以成為那個心目中完美的家長。
賈伯斯人生是個傳奇,但麗莎的人生可就沒有那麼完美,在這本書中她將自己的人生故事介紹給大眾,將身為一個科技鉅子的小孩的所有開心與矛盾都攤在陽光下。
同時這也是一本寫給她自己的生長環境─七零、八零年代的矽谷的情書,在賈伯斯的光環之外,這本書也代表了一個文學界的新聲音正在崛起。
A frank, smart and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs.
Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents - artist Chrisann Brennan and Steve Jobs - Lisa Brennan-Jobs's childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new world of mansions, holidays and private schools. His attention was thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable. When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school, Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping he'd become the parent she'd always wanted him to be.
Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobs's poignant story of a childhood spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise and funny, young Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is an enthralling book by an insightful new literary voice.
