Essex Man

精靈之城：德里一年 City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi


這本書的譯者相當優秀 不過 還是有些小缺點 
譬如說
p.9  Essex Man 沒注解 
這是近代1980s 英國社會的一重要概念語
現在Wikipedia可以找出這字的說明 新的平均人 工人階段 嚮往中產者
(這在十年前可能沒網路工具可利用)


Essex man and Mondeo man are stereotypical figures which were popularised in 1990s England. "Essex man" as a political figure is an example of a type of median voter and was used to help explain the electoral successes of Margaret Thatcher in the previous decade. The closely related "Mondeo man" was identified as the sort of voter the Labour Party needed to attract to win the 1997 election.^[1]
