Hội Họa Nhập Môn - Bé Học Vẽ: Đồ Dùng Sinh Hoạt Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lý Lệ Hà

If you don't hate Brandon Tietz's protagonist, Aidin, within the first ten pages of this novel I seriously question the software of your moral GPS. If you don't desperately want to be Aidin by the last ten pages you and I didn't read the same book. Out of Touch is a novel about bizarre changes. As if caught by an atomic powered puberty, our anti-hero finds himself the victim of an unknown medical condition which leaves him entirely devoid of feeling. A cumbersome and metaphorical position for the holder of a limitless AmEx, plenty of uncut coke, a marshmallow cereal stash of pharmaceuticals and the women who er...ehm "love" him for it. As the standard accouterments of the asshole playboy becoming fleeting reveries of feeling, Out of Touch shapes into a fantastic parable for growing up. Tietz writes like a mid-westerner. His voice is distinct and direct. Being a thoroughly modern novel Tietz breaks all the right rules when it comes to writing. Less like a novel, less even than a speech, Out of Touch is like he's telling you his own story over a bottle of Cristal at a velvet roped club. Conversational, ignoring grammar where necessary for the sake of sounding spoken rather than read; this work is closer to poetry in that way. The novel has its bumps. I caught spelling and other non-helpful (see above) grammatical errors. The middle of the book hiccuped somewhat. The action gets lost, the voices of all the characters lose their distinction and began to sound like ventriloquists of each other. In the end it all works out alright though. Literally. Trying to stay on the safe side of spoiling I'll just say that it's a whiplash ending. Not a "my lawyer will hear about this" twisted-metal whiplash, more the long lines for admission, zero to sixty in 3 or less and "is it over already?" kind. A roller coaster you will have to ride more than once. What's more, the ending was as thick a story as the entire preceding novel and twice as ballsy. Quite a feat and quite a save. Read this book. A must for Palahniuk and Easton-Ellis fans, Tietz successfully pays homage to some literary heavy weights and is easily elbowing his way to their stack on the shelf.

This book has an interesting premise, zookeepers who assist Polish Jews escape the Warsaw ghetto, but is lacking in historical background information. Ackerman, a naturalist, tosses in lots of lyrical descriptions and often meanders away from what I considered the main story, namely the Polish people and their response to the devastation wreaked first by the Germans and then by the Soviets. She obviously did meticulous research, it shows when she seeks to recreate physical sensations (smells, touch) that the Zabinski family would have experienced. I expected and would have preferred a more linear presentation that included additional political and historical insight. I learned that the German were not only preoccupied with racial purity but also with “back-breeding” three extinct “Aryan” animals—aurochen, tarpans, and Europeam bison—that had historically thrived in an eastern section of Poland called Bialowieza. They looted the Warsaw Zoo and others for animals to use in the eugenic experiments and the descendants of these animals now live protected in the Bialowieza preserve near the Belorussian border. It is a World Heritage site. I liked biologist Lecomte du Nouy’s quote on page 92: “Germany’s crime is the greatest crime the world has ever known, because it is not on the scale of History: it is on the scale of evolution. Perhaps these are the types of insights that a naturalist is better able than a historian to relate.
