"I spent five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I've spent fifteen years being treated for nothing other than looking different from everyone else. It was the pain from that, from feeling ugly, that I always viewed as the great tragedy of my life. The fact that I had cancer seemed minor in comparison." At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. In this strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. Vividly portraying the pain of peer rejection and the guilty pleasures of wanting to be special, Grealy captures with unique insight what it is like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.
我很喜歡作者用這種平實但是又完全自私的筆調來描寫自己承受的苦難。雞湯本來就是一個笑話,並不是所有的自我救贖都會成功,即便很多看起來如此。有時候甚至覺得,在苦難麵前失敗纔是終點,所謂的成功自我救贖無非就是墜落得更優雅一些罷瞭。
評分女主角並不把自己寫得可愛值得同情,故事一點不雞湯勵誌,不錯
評分感恩audio book的2倍速強行加快我的眼動速度,得以第一次一天刷完瞭一本書...很美很subjective,隻是告訴你“我”在每個人生階段是怎麼想的,是雞湯還是毒雞湯,留給讀者自己去熬。她的很多想法counter-intuitive但是在細緻的reasoning下變得無比閤理,一方麵讓我理解瞭很多people with facial disfigurement的感覺,另一方麵竟通過她的講解理解瞭一部分自卑的自己。但最終該作者還是死於drug overdose。確實,不是每一次自我救贖都會成功,不是每一個人都活到瞭完全自洽,不是每一份感情都能真正感同身受——也許是悲,又值得慶幸?after all, it is uniqueness that proves our worth...?
評分糾結吧你就。真覺得文化領域的女權主義是自己跟自己不痛快 = =||| 你難道不承認最偉大的作傢們都是男性的麼?即便現在女性有更多職業選擇瞭,真正廣受學術界好評的女作傢其實都是男性化瞭的。。比如安蘭德。。然而有幾個女會選擇像她那樣思考……女人要正視自己風花雪月的本性。。不要徒勞瞭。。
