On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.
還挺滿足老外對東南亞的想象的
評分"Sometimes you are erased before you are given the choice of stating who you are." "Because the sunset, like survival, exists only on the verge of its own disappearing. To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted." 真實得宛如切膚之痛。
評分讀不下去。too sentimental。Andras Schiff在Royal College of Music的一堂Master class上講到舒伯特即興麯時說道:always (play with) sentiments, but never sentimental. James Baldwin looked through and beyond his pain, as a black man, as a gay man, as a foreigner. But this writer can't seem to think beyond his pain. It's a dump of inflictions, offering no catharsis.
評分有很多特彆喜歡的瞬間,但覺得過於匠氣,設計感太強。跟Sam聊的時候他說這是小說不止是漂亮的詞句的組閤的好例證[Sam推薦]
評分Maybe we look into mirrors not merely to seek beauty, regardless how illusive, but to make sure, despite the facts, that we are still here. That the hunted body we move in has not yet been annihilated, scraped out. To see yourself still yourself is a refuge men who have not been denied cannot know.
