Neuroscientist and debut novelist Genova mines years of experience in her field to craft a realistic portrait of early onset Alzheimer's disease. Alice Howland has a career not unlike Genova's—she's an esteemed psychology professor at Harvard, living a comfortable life in Cambridge with her husband, John, arguing about the usual (making quality time together, their daughter's move to L.A.) when the first symptoms of Alzheimer's begin to emerge. First, Alice can't find her Blackberry, then she becomes hopelessly disoriented in her own town. Alice is shocked to be diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's (she had suspected a brain tumor or menopause), after which her life begins steadily to unravel. She loses track of rooms in her home, resigns from Harvard and eventually cannot recognize her own children. The brutal facts of Alzheimer's are heartbreaking, and it's impossible not to feel for Alice and her loved ones, but Genova's prose style is clumsy and her dialogue heavy-handed. This novel will appeal to those dealing with the disease and may prove helpful, but beyond the heartbreaking record of illness there's little here to remember.
这是一本关于阿尔茨海默病(我国原称老年痴呆症)的小说。 虽然它是小说,但又极其真实,对现实中的阿尔茨海默病患者和家属有很重要的借鉴意义。原因在于,作者Lisa Genova自己就是哈佛大学的神经学博士,她在奶奶身患此病后产生了写书的念头,为了写作此书采访了大量阿尔茨海...
评分整部小说实在是太令人心碎,读的过程中真是无数次眼眶湿润。首先这是一本关于阿兹海默症的书,它给我们展示了一位阿兹海默症患者的内心独白,让我们近距离的了解患者的心灵,小说对阿兹海默症的普及,诊断,及治疗方面的作用是毋庸置疑的。但更重要的是,它是一本关于生...
评分以下段落选自《我想念我自己》(中信出版社2017年8月),作为喜爱这部电影的影迷,很开心看到原著在中国的出版。 和电影中爱丽丝在失智症关爱大会上的演讲不尽相同,电影里的演讲词更影视化,是电影的一个高潮,爱丽丝边画边读的样子让人印象深刻,而原书的演讲更有力...
评分 评分Read the paper book in metro, it give me a complex feeling of Alice who diagnosed as early Alzheimer's. The confession of her iner mind and the reaction between her family is so detailed. It also let me ask myself how can I live a life with the Alzheimer's....
What if one day I don't remember you, and the feelings of loving you? This is a great book, and the author had done a good research in her academic field. I cried several times while reading this, and I hardly found out this is just a novel until I saw the back cover. Definitely is a book that everyone should read for their families' sake.
评分14.片段式叙述 越到后面越催泪 尤其最后在阿兹海默大会上的发言就完全绷不住了 What if one day I don't remember you, and the feelings of loving you?
