五顆星完全不夠。值得反復讀的書。
評分很係統的反思,看到人性的許多麵嚮。
評分整部書的問題有三個,一是作者本人的左傾(那是相當的liberal),二是敘事謬誤(每個人在木已成舟時敘述當年都不靠譜),三是抽樣誤差(願意接受采訪的人本身就有特點)。雖然有這些問題,但不得不說看此書能夠拓寬視野和珍愛生活
評分長是真長,畢竟300個案例、曆經10年調查,但還是很好讀的。Far from the tree 是本書所有案例的前提,這些因生理、心理疾病或社會原因而擁有特彆身份的孩子,每一個都偏離瞭其傢庭的親緣。其中有一些有幸可以因特殊的身份(如聽障、侏儒癥、跨性彆等等)嚮傢庭以外延伸,獲得水平的身份認同。這樣的身份認同,進一步甚至可以推動社會進步,激起社會上對該身份包容、適配的討論與改革;退一步至少也可以給這些傢庭和孩子一些歸屬感,聊以安慰成長中不可避免的痛苦。如若孩子背離親緣,像蘋果落在瞭很遠的地方,父母之愛能做些什麼呢?Solomon在最後一章說,the tree doesn’t grow far from the apple.
評分第一章 極精彩 第二章 嗯 還蠻重複上一章的 第三章 嗯 依然重複 第四章 放棄
Andrew Solomon writes about politics, culture, and health. He lives in New York and London. He has written for many publications--such as the New York Times, The New Yorker and Artforum--on topics including depression, Soviet artists, the cultural rebirth of Afghanistan, Libyan politics, and deaf culture. He is also a Contributing Writer for Travel and Leisure. In 2008, he was awarded the Humanitarian Award of the Society of Biological Psychiatry for his contributions to the field of mental health. He has a staff appointment as a Lecturer in Psychiatry at Cornell Medical School (Weill-Cornell Medical College).
From the National Book Award–winning author of The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression comes a monumental new work, a decade in the writing, about family. In Far from the Tree, Andrew Solomon tells the stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children but also find profound meaning in doing so.
Solomon’s startling proposition is that diversity is what unites us all. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, multiple severe disabilities, with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, as are the triumphs of love Solomon documents in every chapter.
All parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent parents should accept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help them become their best selves. Drawing on forty thousand pages of interview transcripts with more than three hundred families, Solomon mines the eloquence of ordinary people facing extreme challenges. Whether considering prenatal screening for genetic disorders, cochlear implants for the deaf, or gender reassignment surgery for transgender people, Solomon narrates a universal struggle toward compassion. Many families grow closer through caring for a challenging child; most discover supportive communities of others similarly affected; some are inspired to become advocates and activists, celebrating the very conditions they once feared. Woven into their courageous and affirming stories is Solomon’s journey to accepting his own identity, which culminated in his midlife decision, influenced by this research, to become a parent.
Elegantly reported by a spectacularly original thinker, Far from the Tree explores themes of generosity, acceptance, and tolerance—all rooted in the insight that love can transcend every prejudice. This crucial and revelatory book expands our definition of what it is to be human.
很久之前,我看到过一个fun fact,大意是跟很多长期的聋哑人讨论一个能够恢复听力的机会,出乎意料的是,大部分的长期聋哑人都对这样的机会不以为然,很多甚至还表示,自己不回去选择恢复自己的听力。当时的我震惊之余,也觉得大概只是他们只是习惯了这种无声的状态。就像我的...

評分如果你十几岁的孩子是个侏儒,而他/她却非常渴望开始约会,身为母亲,你的感觉会是怎样的呢?如果你被强奸后怀上你的女儿,虽然你很爱她,但却不能忍受她碰你,你又该怎么办呢?如果你的儿子非常快乐,但却完全失聪,他已经忘记了听见声音的感觉是怎样的了,回忆起你们一起演奏...
評分第一章像漫长的序,洋洋洒洒58页但不知道想说什么,没有论点也没有条理。其中44-58页居然是名为注释的bibliography!第一次见把这东西放文中的。 第二章听障。个人故事堆砌得再多也只是故事,没有递进没有转折,众生平等,全都一样:耳蜗不好口语不好手语好,父母给幼儿安人工...
