Jeannette Walls's father always called her "Mountain Goat" and there's perhaps no more apt nickname for a girl who navigated a sheer and towering cliff of childhood both daily and stoically. In The Glass Castle, Walls chronicles her upbringing at the hands of eccentric, nomadic parents--Rose Mary, her frustrated-artist mother, and Rex, her brilliant, alcoholic father. To call the elder Walls's childrearing style laissez faire would be putting it mildly. As Rose Mary and Rex, motivated by whims and paranoia, uprooted their kids time and again, the youngsters (Walls, her brother and two sisters) were left largely to their own devices. But while Rex and Rose Mary firmly believed children learned best from their own mistakes, they themselves never seemed to do so, repeating the same disastrous patterns that eventually landed them on the streets. Walls describes in fascinating detail what it was to be a child in this family, from the embarrassing (wearing shoes held together with safety pins; using markers to color her skin in an effort to camouflage holes in her pants) to the horrific (being told, after a creepy uncle pleasured himself in close proximity, that sexual assault is a crime of perception; and being pimped by her father at a bar). Though Walls has well earned the right to complain, at no point does she play the victim. In fact, Walls' removed, nonjudgmental stance is initially startling, since many of the circumstances she describes could be categorized as abusive (and unquestioningly neglectful). But on the contrary, Walls respects her parents' knack for making hardships feel like adventures, and her love for them--despite their overwhelming self-absorption--resonates from cover to cover. --Brangien Davis --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

对于这本书来说,真的是每一个人的感受都会不一样;我深刻的觉得,父母一开始的教育模式---放任自流,教导孩子爱好自然,去幻想,去大胆---有时候会觉得一些观念是很正确的,也是值得学习的,可是后来看到孩子们生活艰苦,衣食不足,很觉得父母其实最后也并没有完全尽到父母的...

上个月在纽约一家书店的禁书区里见到这本书赫然立在最前面。后面摆着一本《哈利波特》。再后面有《查特莱夫人的情人》等著名禁书。 当即很晕。The Glass Castie 也许。太离经叛道?可是《哈利波特》招谁惹谁了?! 问了店员才知道原来这个禁书区集中的是美国各州中小学目前和...

I guess by far, this is the most captivating book that I have ever covered this year. It's not easy to live a childhood like that.

一个作者如果不能完全的隐藏在自己的作品后面,便应该完全真诚地站在读者面前。而《Glass Castle》就是一本完全坦白,不编造也不美化的书,一部比小说更情节曲折的回忆录。读完我觉得,上帝永远比任何故事的创造者更幽默,公平,讽刺,更有爱世人却也更多的试炼他们。而书就应该留给有经历的人来写。

还会再温习的书。波折困难又精彩的人生。我们无法按照我们的意愿重塑父母。我们身上比他们多的,是他们没有得到过的,但通过他们的认知和生活感悟而带给我们的。一本让人为之眼神矍铄,为之莞尔,为之焦虑,为之落泪,为之振奋...的好书。
