[Amazon] In her new memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Winterson returns to the source, her grim girlhood in a sooty English industrial town in the 1960s, to tell her story more forthrightly than she has before. Aiming for narrative tidiness tends to dilute this memoir's delightfully unorthodox quality. But for the most part, this bullet of a book is charged with risk, dark mirth, and hard-won self-knowledge. —Parul Sehgal
1. 这不是一篇女同的爱情故事,甚至不关乎女同本身。 今年53岁的Jeanette Winterson写这部回忆录,与其说是疗伤,不如更像一个追问。她不像一个第一次审视自己伤口的人,诧异、愤怒、然后再在某种自我催眠的叙述中得着解脱和安慰。她acknowledge那些伤口,把命运的错误或者...

评分“Money becomes the core value, then education drives towards utility or that the life of the mind will not be counted as a good unless it products measurable results. That an alternative life to getting and spending will become very difficult.” 那年代应该还没有日常如此的荒谬和空泛,而当今确是了。
评分原版和中文译版的评价真是天差地别。扒开伤口给人看也是要勇气的,而这正意味着她快要走出来,怎么会被解读为过度卖惨?书名来自作者身边的人对她说的一句话。有多少人纠结自己生活和选择的同时,连这样一句质问都没有?而是You can't! You're on a wrong way! You're making mistakes! Without permissions you cannot do anything you really want to......——Why be happy when you could be normal?庆幸你所有的不平庸吧,为你个性里独特的部分而感到骄傲。这本书再次证明真正擅长写作的人往往能将情感与见解注入最简单的句式和选词里面,看起来朴实无华却充满了哲思意味。
评分不是应该反过来问?!
