乔布斯女儿出书谈与父亲的恩怨

据报道，史蒂夫·乔布斯的女儿正在撰写一本回忆录，这部作品预计将于今年9月出版，书中将详细描写她和父亲之间的爱恨情仇。

本书作者丽莎·布伦南·乔布斯今年39岁，她将这本书取名《小人物》（Small Fry）。本书将由格罗夫出版社发行。

据亚马逊网的书籍描述称，丽莎的母亲克里丝安·布伦南是一个艺术家。在丽莎小的时候，她母亲与父亲极少联系。起初乔布斯不认丽莎是自己的女儿，不过后来他道了歉，并且让她进入了自己的“豪宅、度假和私人学校”的世界。乔布斯还用她的名字命名了一台苹果早期型号的电脑——Apple Lisa。

乔布斯是一个杰出的商人和营销家，但在亲友和同事眼中，他也是个脾气乖戾的人。而这本书则为我们了解一个真实的乔布斯提供了新的视角。

《小人物》是继2011年沃尔特·艾萨克森的《乔布斯传》后，第二本披露乔布斯与其妻女之间的秘闻的纪实作品。与克里丝安·布伦南分手后，乔布斯与劳伦·鲍威尔结了婚，二人后生育有三个子女。

下面是亚马逊网站对丽莎·布伦南·乔布斯的这本《小人物》的全部描述：

乔布斯与艺术家克里丝安·布伦南的孩子丽莎出生在一个农场里，她的童年是在快速变革的硅谷中度过的。丽莎小的时候，她父亲是一个很少出现在她生活中的神秘人物。等到她年纪稍大，父亲才重新关注了她，带领她进入了一个有豪宅、有假期和私人学校的新世界。但他有时也很冷酷，爱批评人，脾气阴晴不定。上高中时，丽莎有一阵子与母亲关系紧张，便决定搬到父亲家住，希望他能成为自己一直想要的那种父亲。

《小人物》描写了丽莎·布伦南·乔布斯童年时辗转于两个不完美却又卓越的家庭之间的辛酸故事。活力十足、聪明幽默的小丽莎为我们展示了她的父母迷人而又迥异的两个世界。本书既描写了一个复杂的家庭，也缅怀了七八十年代的加州旧事，是一本引人入胜的新文学作品。（财富中文网）

The daughter of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs is writing a memoir to be published in September that will detail her complicated relationship with her father.

The book, by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 39, is to be titled Small Fry, from publisher Grove Press.

Lisa Brennan-Jobs, whose mother is artist Chrisann Brennan, had little contact her father during her early years. Initially, Steve Jobs questioned his paternity, but later apologized and became more involved by inviting her into his world of “mansions, vacations, and private schools,” according to a description of the book on Amazon, and also naming one of Apple’s early computers, the Apple Lisa, after her.

The book promises to give new insight into Steve Jobs, who while a brilliant businessman and marketer, was also known for being mercurial with friends, family, and colleagues.

Small Fry will follow a biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson in 2011 that covered Steve Jobs’ relationship with Lisa Brennan-Jobs and her mother. Jobs later married Laurene Powell, with whom he had three children.

Here’s the full description on Amazon of the upcoming book by Lisa Brennan-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, vacations, 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.
