圖書描述

Big Sugar marks the emergence as a major voice--

and with a major subject--of Alec wilkinson, al-

writers, author of two aeclaimed books: Midnights: A

Year with the Wellfleet Police and Moonshine: A Life

barracked-little pieces of the Third World in the

United States--and the small islands of pleasure,

from taverns to brothels and enticingly stoeked

stores, that the eane cutters have found there.

Above all, we hear the voices of the cutters them-

selves as they reeount their lives and hardships. "We
