★榮獲2016年美國指標性傳記寫作獎項「斯珀伯圖書獎」（Sperber prize）★2015年《舊金山紀事報》（San Francisco Chronicle）及《出版者周刊》（Publishers Weekly）年度最佳圖書名單★阿潑（文字工作者）、盧郁佳（作家）、謝佩霓（藝評人／策展人）、顏擇雅（作家）齊聲推薦遊走與書寫紐約邊緣的編年史家：約瑟夫．米契爾他的前半生，是美國報導文學史的一頁傳奇；晚年卻陷入了長達三十餘年隻字未曾發表的寫作障礙。約瑟夫．米契爾（Joseph Mitchel）是知名文學雜誌《紐約客》（The New Yorker）早期的重要資產，幾乎可以說他一人扛起了三〇年代晚期的《紐約客》人物側寫專欄，並在四零、五零年代用他多產且高品質的作品，以及領先時代的寫作方法，成為該雜誌名聲最為響亮的作家之一，並深深影響其後的記者與寫作者，如新新聞之父湯姆・沃爾夫和《奇想之年》（The Year of Magical Thinking）的作者瓊・蒂蒂安等後起的優秀文人，卻再沒人能複製其風格。他從報紙起家，聲名鵲起後輾轉落腳於剛起步的《紐約客》。從二十世紀三〇年代到六〇年代，他宛如紐約的代言人，他走遍城市每一個角落，記錄下這座偉大的城市裡形形色色的人——從莫霍克（Mohawk）的鋼鐵工人到史泰登島（Staten Island）的牡蠣採集工人，從流落街頭、號稱在撰寫百萬字口述史的「海鷗教授」喬・古爾德到創辦紐約首屈一指的沙龍的老約翰・麥克索利（Old John McSorley）。然而，曾寫出《我洗耳恭聽》（My Ears Are Bent）、《喬・古爾德的秘密》（Joe Gould’s Secret）等佳作的才子，為何在帶給世人如此美妙的書寫後，卻突然消匿於文學史，再無新作整整三十年？當米契爾於一九九六年去世時，他最廣為人知的，不是優雅獨特的寫作風格，而是像沙林傑（J.D. Salinger）那般於巔峰之際神隱的事蹟。曾撰寫《紐約客》創辦人哈羅德．羅斯（Harold Ross）傳記的湯瑪斯．康克爾（Thomas Kunkel），所撰寫的《米契爾先生為何不寫了？》（Man in Profile），是第一部完整追索米契爾的傳記。這位傳奇作家如何思考？如何寫作？此外，亦嘗試回答困擾讀者和評論家數十年的大哉問：米契爾為何停筆三十年？無論戰前抑或戰後，米契爾耗費數十年於
