Những Phương Sách Để Đạt Việc Lớn - Khó Trong Khó Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ân Hàm

This book is quite similar to Beautiful Boy, where the parent details his experience with his child’s unhinging, so to speak. Most “mental illness memoirs” tend to come from the ill person’s point of view, so it is interesting to read about the experience from the outside. That being said Sally’s explanation of her experience may be the most instructive (and poignant) one I’ve ever read—she makes it clearer than anywhere else I’ve read the real confusion that comes when someone post-mania struggles to understand that every insight and paranoia she’s had is completely, utterly, thoroughly wrong, a product of her mind, not reality. Her brief description of her struggle to rebuild a correct perception of the world, to learn to analyze her perceptions for accuracy, is illuminating. On the negative side, another similarity of this book to Beautiful Boy is in the amazing liberty the parents seem to feel to reveal their utter narcissism. In Beautiful Boy, the father is maddeningly ignorant of his child’s real needs and the chaos and insecurity his actions brought to his young son’s world. In Hurry Down Sunshine, I smacked my head in frustration as the father reveals that—oops!—he forgot to get HEALTH INSURANCE FOR HIS CHILD. He seems to find this a merely a quirk of his artistic temperament, a temperament that also sees nothing wrong in having his teen daughter live in what can generously be called a sublet (it’s more like they’re squatting) where they are literally not allowed to possess any personal items other than what can basically be carried away in a grocery bag. Both parents (in each book) are the type who say, “Oh, I NEVER let my child watch television” but they drag their 9-year-old children to midnight screenings of foreign films, or laugh that they may make grilled cheese sandwiches for their child, but, heh heh, they make them with artisanal bread and imported gruyere cheese, because they’re artists, you know. All of Sally’s adult caretakers seem much more invested in their own lives and careers than in nurturing the healthy growth of their child. I’m not blaming them for Sally’s illness, because another positive aspect of Hurry Down Sunshine is that it makes clear that mental illness can happen to anyone, any time, of any class, age, or upbringing. It’s chemical, it’s biological, and possibly though not necessarily hereditary. But I was still kind of disgusted at the adults in Sally’s world.
