为什么值得读
- 由麦克默多站废品清理工写就的亲身经历
- 真实还原美国南极项目的运作氛围
- 文笔趣味十足且毫无说教套话
“欢迎来到 Big Dead Place，这里以一名基层人员的视角审视美国南极项目，彻底打破了极地文学中陈旧老套的说辞。在这里，英勇的袍泽情谊与浪漫的荒凉孤寂让位于冰冷死板的建筑，取而代之的是各色怪诞人物：把防冻液灌进靴子里的疯狂经理、醉鬼小丑 Boozy、在食品冷冻库出没的幽灵，以及在雪之礼拜堂祭坛上偷得罕见私密温存的躁动员工。本书还附有南极行话与官僚套话词汇表，以及16页彩色照片。”——封底文案。

如果你喜欢这个，我推荐麦克默多站的一位清洁工尼古拉斯·约翰逊写的《Big Dead Place》（https://www.amazon.com/Big-Dead-Place-Menacing-Antarctica/dp...）。
If you like this, I recommend "Big Dead Place" (https://www.amazon.com/Big-Dead-Place-Menacing-Antarctica/dp...) by Nicholas Johnson, a garbageman at McMurdo.
如果你真的好奇南极那边到底在发生些什么，你应该去读读尼克·约翰逊的作品，他是“Big Dead Place”博客以及后来同名书的作者。http://feralhouse.com/big-dead-place/ 博客已经下线了（archive.org 上可能还能找到），令人痛心的是，约翰逊在 2012 年自杀了。http://feralhouse.com/nick-johnson-rip/
If you're really curious about what goes on down there, you should read the works of Nick Johnson, author of the "Big Dead Place" blog and a subsequent book. http://feralhouse.com/big-dead-place/ The blog is off line (might be on archive.org), and Johnson sadly took his own life in 2012. http://feralhouse.com/nick-johnson-rip/
这些是我最喜欢的几本：尼尔·汤普森——《Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR》；迪·布朗——《Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee》（魂断伤膝谷）；尼古拉斯·约翰逊——《Big Dead Place》，写南极生活的；马克·诺尔——《The Civil War as a Theological Crisis》；大卫·哈伯斯塔姆——《The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War》（最寒冷的冬天：美国人眼中的朝鲜战争）；斯坦利·卡诺——《In Our Image: America's Empire…
These are the ones I've liked best Neal Thompson - "Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR" Dee Brown - "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" Nicholas Johnson - "Big Dead Place" - about living in Antartica Mark Noll - "The Civil War as a Theological Crisis" David Halberstam - "The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War" Stanley Karnnow - "In Our Image: America's Empire…
早些年还有一个 ABigDeadPlace.com 网站，后来因为作者不幸离世而关停了。万幸的是它出版成书了，也就是尼古拉斯·约翰逊写的《Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange and Menacing World of Antarctica》。如果你对 brr.fyi 感兴趣，我敢打赌你也会喜欢这本书的。https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/40919
In years past there was also ABigDeadPlace.com, which has since lapsed due to the author's unfortunate death. Thankfully it was published as a book, _Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange and Menacing World of Antarctica_ by Nicholas Johnson. If brr.fyi strikes your fancy, I bet that book would as well. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/40919
针对这个话题，还有一个有趣得多、而且没那么迎合 SEO/油腔滑调的视角，那就是尼古拉斯·约翰逊的《Big Dead Place》，它最初是个博客，后来出成了书。它把在美国南极考察项目中工作的那种真实滋味展现得淋漓尽致，无人能及。
A much more fun and less SEO/smarmy take on this topic is Nicholas Johnson's "Big Dead Place", originally a blog and later a book. It gives the flavor of working in the U.S. Antarctic program like nothing else does.
……如果你想看更多的话，有位马上就要结束为期一年驻留的人写得比我好得多得多。《Antarctica: A Year on Ice》是一部大约 10 年前拍得很棒的纪录片。尼古拉斯·约翰逊在 2000 年代初写的《A Big Dead Place》也非常值得一读。
…nearing the end of a year long deployment who writes much more eloquently than I ever could if you want to read more. Antarctica: A Year on Ice is an enjoyable film documentary from ~10 years ago. A Big Dead Place by Nicholas Johnson is also worth a read from the early 2000s.
