[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

因为屡受网络书店的“满减”诱惑,陈列在我家书架上的书经常遭到新书的排挤、碾压甚至“撤柜”处理,但读书人都知道,这种更新换代并不是简单叠加和替换,一旦某种属于书和书之间的微妙平衡被打破,你就需要花费五倍的时间去寻找新的平衡。但是某些作家的书就好比连体婴,就算...
评分 评分我真的尽力了吧。我懒得尽力了。
评分很棒的自传,和中文版配合着看得,中文版翻译得很好
评分不推荐的原因是,你看了它,对接下来发生什么会一无所知。
评分I read this book not only because one of my closest friends recommend it to me,but because when I glanced at the first pages,expecially when I read out loud,I burst into tears,which I myself find incredible.Finally,I finished it in two days.I am really impressed and it is really touching.While I was reading the novel,I was full of tears.
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。
