Tenth anniversary edition • With a new Introduction by the author
In the near future, disease will be a condition of the past. Most genetic defects will be removed at birth; the remaining during infancy. Lou Arrendale, a high-functioning autistic adult, is a member of the lost generation, born at the wrong time to reap the rewards of medical science. He lives a low-key, independent life. But then he is offered a chance to try a brand-new experimental “cure” for his condition. With this treatment Lou would think and act and be just like everyone else. But if he was suddenly free of autism, would he still be himself? Would he still love the same classical music—with its complications and resolutions? Would he still see the same colors and patterns in the world—shades and hues that others cannot see? Most important, would he still love Marjory, a woman who may never be able to reciprocate his feelings? Now Lou must decide if he should submit to a surgery that might completely change the way he views the world . . . and the very essence of who he is.
Thoughtful, provocative, poignant, unforgettable, The Speed of Dark is a gripping journey into the mind of an autistic person as he struggles with profound questions of humanity and matters of the heart.

看到一个自闭症患者反复纠结,千辛万苦,放弃过去的自己,放弃朋友和心爱的人就是为了变成正常人去读夜校学天文,我深深的感到自己生活的来之不易!
评分1.lou的内心 有很多共鸣的地方 后面作者问答里也有讲到这点 2.我也说不准到底希望lou做怎样的选择 私心里更喜欢原来的lou 可那是他的选择 其实结局也好 就是老觉得失去了lou 3.书后面竟然有给读书会提供的题目哈哈 这个做法可以有 plus书把作者问答写在最后 也是非常好 这件事我同意lou 一本书 要前言干嘛!!
评分这本书让我不断反思“正常”的定义,同时也让我质疑自己正在学习的东西究竟是不是有意义的
评分看到最后太难受,还以为作者要毁了Lou,最后一转居然是happy ending……没有作者这么乐观,感觉手术干预造出来的共情迟早会演变为人格分裂的怪物。。。
