Book Description

The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.

The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.

The Glass Castle is truely astonishing - a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. Jeannette Walls has a story to tell, and tells it brilliantly, without an ounce of self-pity.

这个奇特的家庭,在这样的世俗看来有点不靠谱的父母的抚养下,每个孩子倒是把握住了自己的人生。有时候看到作者的描述,真的对这个父亲和母亲连连摇头,看到她描写上学没东西吃,只能去垃圾箱检别的小孩扔掉的食物。可是家庭永远是你割不掉的那部分,作者对父母的爱还是大过她对他们的无奈和经常的失望。

评分

不停地修正自己的观点的书。一会儿觉得特别温情,尤其是父女之间的感情。一会儿又觉得,不,这对父母不可原谅。很多时候做出来的事情远远超出了“不想长大”的范畴,说dysfunctional都算是夸奖了,充满了自以为是、自私和不负责任。好在孩子们自己找到了出路。有一段作者的大学老师质问她凭什么认为有人愿意露宿街头的情节,想起来真讽刺啊。这是一个所谓精英无法理解的世界,感谢作者仍然不忘了写出来留下记录。听的是作者自己朗读的版本,她学她的父亲的口音很生动;父亲每次说出“mountain goat”的时候都能感受到浓浓的亲情。

我却觉得是向往的童话

评分

Walls夫妇属于那种半调子:有能力,但经常掉链子。这种人最让人头痛,因为你会相信他们,然后他们有时给你惊喜,却也总时常地让你后悔自己的信任。

评分

3.5星。真的是所有文学作品中最不靠谱儿的父母了。颠沛流离的生活,有露天看星星的有趣浪漫,更多是没钱买饭吃的饥肠辘辘。也算是对homeless 的理想主义情怀的一点点窥视吧。
