Patricia Lockwood was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and raised in all the worst cities of the Midwest. She is the author of a memoir, Priestdaddy, and two poetry collections, Balloon Pop Outlaw Black and Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals, a New York Times Notable Book. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New Republic, and The London Review of Books. She lives in Savannah, Georgia.
The childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed "The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas" by The New York Times, was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange koans and warnings of impending danger. Above all, there was her gun-toting, guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine and discovered a loophole which saw him approved for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI - despite already having a wife and children.
When the expense of a medical procedure forces the 30-year-old Patricia to move back in with her parents, husband in tow, she must learn to live again with her family's simmering madness, and to reckon with the dark side of a childhood spent in the bosom of the Catholic Church. Told with the comic sensibility of a brasher, bluer Waugh or Wodehouse, this is at the same time a lyrical and affecting story of how, having ventured into the underworld, we can emerge with our levity and our sense of justice intact.

路上读书解读 一个家就像是一首温馨的田园诗。当你和家人待在一起的时候,你永远不会意识到它是一首田园诗。直到你经历了离别的痛苦,经历了生活的磨难。当你再一次走进家门的时候,你会发现你的家人就在这里。当他们看见你回家的时候,他们的脸上会浮现温暖的笑容,就像是太阳一样温暖。 父亲是日常的,喜欢打赤膊,喜欢弹很难听的吉他;父亲是严厉的,教游泳的时候会把孩子直接扔到水池里;爸爸是慈爱的,他对妻子和孩子的关怀是生硬而真诚的;爸爸也是深沉的,他勇敢地承担死亡的挑战,给予别人勇气和力量。 帕特丽夏呢?在短短九个月和家人的相处中,不断回忆起童年的点点滴滴,不断地面对曾经的痛苦和创伤,重新认识父亲与母亲对自己的爱,重新融入家庭的生活,获得生活的信念和勇气,与过去的自己和解,然后开始新生活。
