博客來 跟最好的朋友們吃個漢堡薯條度過下午，是再熟悉不過的日常了
然而這裡提供的，不是「快樂餐」，而是「單次饗宴大餐」
這個「單次饗宴大餐」的品項呢，專門提供給11歲以上的顧客，一人一生只限點「一次」。而且這個品項還有一行說明標語：不是每個人都能得到這個商品！成功點到餐的人，請至某房間，你將可以觀賞到自己的未來，但記住，這個預知片段只有5分鐘。
作者用繽紛色彩、分明的線條，復古的90年代美學風格，打造出獨特的科幻背景。在這裡有學校那群作威作福的女孩們、熟悉的速食店、一群群閨蜜好友，以及她們的那些混帳哥哥，揉合學校中的霸凌、家裡不可見的暴力、家長的忽視等等青少年世界中常見的情節，描繪出成長的過程。(文/博客來編譯)
The ＂Once Party＂ menu, for ages 11 and up, can only be ordered once (of course). But there’s a catch: not everyone who does gets the special prize. Those who do, go to a room where they can view five minutes of one of three moments in their future. Galvan manages to create a vivid world that is both a recognizable and alien depiction of adolescence. There are mean girls, and fast food, and BFFs with crappy older brothers, as well as familiar hints of 1990s design and fashion. Yet, it’s also rife with futuristic flourishes like little robotic eggs that walk and talk, like anthropomorphic Alexas.
At its heart, however, Afternoon at McBurger’s is a timeless story about friendship and innocence and the discoveries of adolescence (both good and bad), with layers to be revealed only through multiple readings. And Galvan’s visual style, anchored by a mastery of pastel and primary colors, will make you want to do so immediately.
