Tự Thú Của Ông Bố Tuyệt Vời Nhất Thế Giới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dave Engledow

Deep breath. This book is elegant, extraordinarily insightful, and most of all important. Despite the big words and the complicated science, Mukherjee had me riveted from start to finish. I thought I had a knowledge of cancer before this book, but now I understand it, in all of its feverish complexity and horrifying beauty. In the history of cancer research, there have been bright flashes of brilliance combined with truths that are stupidly rediscovered centuries too late (such as the carcinogenic nature of tobacco, which was delineated by an amateur scientist in a pamphlet in 1761 but that was still, somehow, up for "debate" in the 1960s). What sticks with me most is that no one in cancer research really knows what they're doing, but the strength of truly great doctors lies in knowing that instead of assuming the arrogant position that you've found the only way and other possibilities are laughable. I did not know that this book won the Pullitzer this year when I read it, but it deserves every piece of praise it gets. I will admit it was very hard to read this book with my 29-year-old sister so struck by (and dying of) breast cancer. On every page are patients suffering through cancer and its treatments, losing their battle only a few chapters before the particular solution they needed is found. Cancer is a formidable foe that, for better or worse, is tightly intertwined within our genes. One of the doctors profiled in the book had a favorite aphorism about how death in old age is not something to be beaten, but death before old age is the enemy to fight. That is what I hope for. Not extravagant medical "advances" aiming for immortality — just the opportunity for each of us to fully experience our mortality for a period of time that does not rob of our best years, or the chance to have children, or the chance to find love and find ourselves. Sigh.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Genuinely creepy and scary in some parts, which seems hard for some authors to pull off in a book. I like the premise of the book: if various evil beasties were real, there would be someone professional to handle them, right? Makes sense to me.

Con Thích Nhất Bento Mẹ Làm! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phan Sắc Cẩm Ly

Beloved is not easily accessible- the text makes you work to extract every bit of meaning and if you're not feeling up to that kind of heavy-going deconstruction, you're probably going to end up resenting it. But that caveat noted, this is probably one of the most rewarding reads I've ever embarked on. I studied it as part of a university literature class that focused on post-colonial and revolutionary literature and I know most of my classmates really disliked it- but I loved it. I thought it was just magic. Beloved is a Southern Gothic novel that tells the story of the outcast Sethe, a freed slave, attempting to reconstruct her life in the aftermath of slavery and a violent, disturbing personal tragedy. The story is told in a disjointed manner through the perspectives of a variety of characters surrounding the protagonist, including the eponymous ghost, Beloved herself. It mixes the supernatural, elements of voodoo culture and horror into a thoroughly researched history of slavery that starts in Africa and finishes in Ohio. The thread that pulls the reader through the story is an unknown sinister event lurking in Sethe's past, involving her deceased daughter, and the increasingly malevolent presence of the ghost haunting her house. It's not difficult to see why some people find the disjointed, non-linear, stream-of-consciousness delivery of the story off-putting. But if you're patient with it you'll find a narrative that not only relays a history of slavery in America, but shows (rather than simply telling) how fractured and psychologically damaged its victims were. The delivery of the narrative is designed to reflect the collective state of mind of those whose voices tell the story. I think there's also an element of Morrison's trying to argue that the story of slavery is one of such horror and violence that it simply cannot be told in ordinary language, that it has it's own vocabulary- one that's different from the words used to describe the mundane. I noticed another reviewer likened the narration to that of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury- a comparison which is spot on. Toni Morrison wrote her masters thesis on Faulkner and the southern gothic genre, so it's not surprising that she's borrowed many of his techniques. Like Faulkner, Morrison also crafts impressionist, poetic prose, which I thought was a delight to read. As with Benjy Compson's mentally handicapped narration in The Sound and the Fury, the difficulty you experience as a reader in decoding Sethe's fractured narrative highlights the plight of the victims of slavery and the difficulty they had in making their voices heard. There's so much to discover in this book, layers upon layers that can be unpacked. If you feel like you're struggling, don't try to analyse every single clause- read on and just try to absorb the over all gist of the words, because this is the kind of book where the meaning will crystallise as you progress. My last piece of advice when reading Beloved would be to pack a box of tissues- the events depicted in the book are not for the faint-hearted. They are both disturbing and very, very sad, as you would expect of any story that attempted to chronicle such an awful part of human history.
