“Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn’t commit.”
Who are the victims here? To hear liberals tell it, you’d think they do nothing but suffer at the hands of ruthless entities like the “Republican Attack Machine” and Fox News.
Really?
It’s just another instance of the Big Lie, of course, told so often that some people have actually started to believe it. In Guilty , Ann Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly vicious, Coulter dissects these so-called victims who are invariably the oppressors. For instance:
•Single mothers: Getting pregnant isn’t like catching the flu. There are volitional acts involved–someone else explain it to Dennis Kucinich. By this purposeful act, single mothers cause irreparable harm to other human beings–their own children–as countless studies on the subject make clear.
•The myth of the Republican Attack Machine: The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It’s so mad, it’s brilliant. It’s one kind of lie to say the Holocaust occurred when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it’s another kind of lie entirely to say the Holocaust occurred when the Jews killed the Nazis.
•“Brave” liberals: In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they’re always telling me how brave they are. Why, five nights a week, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann courageously books guests who completely agree with him. It doesn’t get much braver than that.
•Obambi’s luck: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates’ families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois.
•The offenders are offended!: Republican senator George Allen’s career was destroyed when he made a joking remark to a privileged Indian American harassing him at campaign stops. When did rich kids become a new protected category that must be shielded from words that are insulting in other languages? How did Sidarth become a specially anointed victim? What did we ever do to India? And why didn’t we ever hear about the far more offensive anti-Semitic flyers of Allen’s opponent Jim Webb?
One essential and recurring truth about self-righteous liberals, says Coulter, is that “they viciously attack all while wailing that they are the true victims.” With Guilty –a mordantly witty and shockingly specific catalog of offenses that liberals would rather we ignore and forget–Ann Coulter presents exhibits A through Z.

这本书的文学质感和语言风格,简直是一次对英语(或译文)表现力的极致挖掘。它不是那种一目了然、直白叙述的文字,而更像是一件精心打磨的艺术品。句子的长度、词汇的选择,都透露出一种深思熟虑的韵味。作者似乎对每一个词语的“重量”都有着精确的把握,即便是描述最寻常的场景,也能通过独特的措辞赋予其一种异样的氛围感。比如,对光影的描绘,总是带着一种病态的美感,灰色的调子占据了大部分篇幅,即便出现亮色,也很快会被某种阴影所吞噬。这种高度风格化的文字,初读时可能会让人感到有些费力,需要放慢速度,细细咀嚼每一个短语。但一旦适应了这种语境,就会被其强大的感染力所俘获。它成功地营造了一种永恒的、宿命般的悲剧氛围,让读者在阅读的同时,也仿佛被吸入了一种特有的美学滤镜之中,对世界的感知都变得更加锐利和内省。
评分我必须承认,在阅读这本书的过程中,我有好几次停下来,合上书本,花了很长时间来消化某些段落带来的冲击力。它触及的议题非常沉重,涉及到信任的崩塌、社会结构中的隐形压力,以及个人在面对巨大、无形力量时的无力感。这本书的厉害之处在于,它将这些宏大而抽象的议题,通过极其私人化、近乎窥私欲的视角展现出来,使得那些冰冷的哲学思辨瞬间获得了血肉和温度。它迫使我跳出自己舒适的道德圈子,去审视那些生活在边缘、或者做出过“错误选择”的人。它没有进行说教,但其展示的复杂人性本身就比任何说教都更具力量。我尤其欣赏作者处理边缘群体的细腻手法,他们不是扁平化的符号,而是有着完整而痛苦的内在世界的个体。读完后,你会发现,那些看似坚固的社会界限,其实是多么脆弱和模糊不清。
评分这本名为《罪愆》的书,带给我的震撼是多层次的,它远远超出了我预期的那种简单、线性的叙事。首先,作者对人物心理的刻画达到了令人咋舌的精细度。我仿佛不是在阅读,而是直接潜入了角色那错综复杂、充满矛盾的内心深处。每一个决定、每一个犹豫,背后都有一团盘根错节的动机和阴影在搅动。比如,书中那位总是在道德边缘徘徊的主角,他的每一次“善举”背后,都潜藏着一种近乎病态的自我辩护机制,那种将自身行为合理化的能力,既令人恐惧又深陷其中,让人忍不住想去剖析,究竟是环境塑造了人性,还是人性本身就具有这种自我欺骗的倾向。书籍在探讨“罪”这个宏大命题时,没有给出任何廉价的答案或明确的指控,反而将聚光灯打在了“愧疚”这个更具磨蚀性的概念上。读完后劲很大,常常在夜深人静时,那些细微的场景和人物的对白会像幽灵一样在我脑海中盘旋,迫使我重新审视自己生活中那些被忽略的、细小的、但可能同样具有腐蚀性的“小错误”。这种阅读体验,与其说是消遣,不如说是一种深刻的自我审视和精神上的高强度训练。
评分关于这本书的配乐(如果非要用音乐来类比的话),它绝对不是一首欢快的进行曲,而更像是一部慢节奏、充满张力的室内乐。它很少有爆发性的高潮,情绪的起伏都处理得非常克制和内敛,但正是这种克制,才让每一次微小的波动都充满了巨大的暗示性。这本书的情节推进速度,在我看来,是故意被作者放慢的,这使得读者有足够的时间去察觉那些潜藏在对话和场景描述之下的暗流。它要求耐心,它奖励那些愿意等待真相浮现的读者。我特别喜欢它对环境的描绘,那些城市景观、封闭的房间,都仿佛成为了人物心理的延伸和投射,而不是简单的背景板。它们是沉默的见证者,是承载着秘密的容器。总而言之,这不是一本适合在匆忙中翻阅的书,它需要你投入心神,像对待一位老友的私密倾诉那样,去倾听和体味,而最终的回报,是远超预期的精神共鸣。
评分从结构上看,作者的叙事手法简直是一场高明的迷宫设计。他巧妙地运用了非线性叙事,时间线索仿佛被揉碎了又重新拼贴,但令人惊叹的是,这种碎片化处理非但没有让故事变得晦涩难懂,反而增强了悬念和张力。信息总是以一种恰到好处的、缓慢释放的方式呈现出来,就像一层层剥开洋葱,你以为已经看到了核心,结果下一页又揭示了更深层的真相。尤其是书中几次关键的场景转换,那种节奏的掌控力,简直像是顶级的交响乐指挥家在驾驭情绪的潮起潮落。最让我印象深刻的是,作者似乎非常擅长使用留白,他从不把话说得太满,很多关键的情感转折点,他只是轻描淡写地带过,把解读的权力完全交给了读者。这要求读者必须全神贯注,不能有丝毫的走神,因为遗漏一个眼神、一句无心之言,都可能让你错过理解整个情节走向的钥匙。这种主动参与叙事建构的过程,让阅读的体验变得无比充实和有成就感。
