Endless stream of consciousness.
评分“A page, turning, is a wing lifted with no twin, and therefore no flight. And yet we are moved.”
评分整本书里最喜欢的是那几页诗(想起了anne carson的autobiography of red
评分Some sparkling vivid prose, some overwrought pronouncements "just on the right side of vague to seem meaningful" (Irishtimes review). Frustratingly precious, sometime hypnotic, sometimes empty. A semi-fictional memoir exploring intergenerational trauma. Haunting passages on the nail salon and young gay sex.
评分写法还是非虚构和诗的写法,出版社强扭成小说推销,读起来反倒有违和感。我对用美的语言描述暴力仍然持一定保留态度,就像阿多诺说,奥斯维辛之后,写诗是野蛮的。
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.
