Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Quang Huy

HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! Grabbed this from my stash Saturday evening and started blazing through it, rapt! Could not put it down. Finished Sunday... Uncompromising portrait of petty slothfulness and violence in grim Brooklyn in the 1950s. The 1989 Jennifer Jason Leigh film was fine and disturbing, but it can't capture the earnest immediacy of this book and the machine-gun style of expression of the colloquialisms and the stream of consciousness. This is masterly, it seems to have flowed off Selby's fingers the way Kerouac's "On the Road" did. No quote marks or identification of speakers, but they're not needed because it makes sense without all that. (Books this good sometimes make me question the need for punctuation, actually...) I actually had difficulty trying to start this book in the past, but reading Joyce's "Ulysses" has raised my reading comprehension level greatly, so this thing flows like buttah. The terms "gay" and "Miss Thing" were already in use in 1957. Who knew? This is raw and frank and vivid and emotionally harrowing. The cold amorality of the city. Selby's expression is refreshingly free; he's a genius at depicting squalor... It's a world of coffee in styrofoam cups and queens who suck cum out of used condoms found in the park... This could end up being a favorite. Let's see. UPDATE: More than halfway through now. "Strike," which takes up the entire middle third of the book, is the kind of proletarian literature one rarely encounters. A real, on-the-ground look at a brutish, closeted gay married shop steward, swaggering like a little Caesar, trying to draw attention to his pathetic self...It's rare to see labor and unions depicted so unflatteringly in American literature. It's nice for a change to see actual WORK LIFE depicted in a book. Too often we get the after-hours doings of characters and nothing more in novels, always the sex bits and never the workaday stuff that takes up most of our daily lives. Gotta respect this. Great historical value in this book as well. I'd add this along with "The Jungle" and "Christ in Concrete" to the list of best prole lit. This part of the story starts with a hint of gay pedophilia and ends with an overt act of same. Not much that Selby shies from... Also must note, "Strike" is written in somewhat more a conventional style by comparison to the preceding chapters. Omniscent narrator and punctuation, though a lot of ellipses... (like that) Also, a must in the realm of gay/queer lit in its evocation of gay bars, drag balls, rough trade, and repressed sexuality taking the form of violence and compensatory extreme male hetero behavior. The heroes of the book, if there can be said to be any, are the stoic, browbeaten women. Selby's portraits of women are by and large sympathetic, even in the face of the menfolk's rampant misogyny. Women also are seen as sexual beings who want orgasms as much as men. I doubt this was commonly admitted in much other lit. in 1957. The last section of the book, "Landsend" is a concentrated portrait of a half dozen family tenants in the tenement block, alternating stories of the same characters. Heartbreaking vignettes. The old woman, Ada, probably the only truly sympathetic character in the novel. Selby's depiction of her reality is lyrical, perhaps the only real lyricism in the book. It gave me chills. This is a classic. Definitely a new favorite.

Why do we do things? Why do we want to save people? Is it in the name of freedom and good intentions? Graham wondered, "Must I too have my foot thrust in the mess of life before I saw the pain?" Is it our innocence or ignorance that defines us? Read and consider.

i read this book for a Canadian studies class last year and ended up writing my final essay on it. it is a sensual, visual, evocative novel that the reader can luxuriate in - like a bubble bath. urquhart's magic realism is beautiful, and convinced me of the power of love, obsession and the 'otherworld' that can result from that kind of passion.

Nếp Cũ - Hội Hè Đình Đám (Quyển Thượng) - Bìa Cứng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Toan Anh

I lost my restraint and though I should be reading other things, fell a bit into this one... Really, really enjoyed this. It's considerably lighter in tone than the Inda books and far more of a Romance, though perhaps not as fluffy or Romance as the cover might suggest. It's also much more polished than the Senrid/C.J's First Notebook books, having been completed recently. And yet it's the latter books to which it's closest in some ways, as its two protagonists return to Sartorias-deles from this world, unlike the all-Sartorias-deles ones. Here, with the older characters from this world, there's a lovely play on fantasy books and films in this world and resonances in that. It's just fascinating having all these different perspectives on the one world, through so many very different books. I liked both the main characters - Sasha and her mother Sun/Athanial (or should I say Sun and her daughter Sasha?!), pretty much equally, so didn't mind the alternating POV sections. I'm sure I'm nowhere near uniquely clever in having figured out one character's 'secret' pretty quickly, but that's not to say the book is less interesting because of that. The romance with comedy of manners elements isn't one I bore of when done with a light touch, as here. Finally, I think this one stands very well alone - that is, alone except for the sequel, which I'm eagerly awaiting! There are mentions of characters from the earlier, younger reader books, but knowing about them doesn't seem necessary to enjoy this at all.

It really helps to have some background in math and physics. This book tries to explain some actual physics (as opposed to his more popular books which just tell hilarious stories), so it helps if you are interested in physics. But, as another reviewer said, it is by Feynman so of course it is awesome.

This is the first book of McCarthy's that I've read. I have given this book three stars, though I almost gave it two. Its saving graces, brevity and extremely well-crafted prose, did finally nudge me to three. I am probably not the ideal audience for this book. More to come, can't finish this right now.

Lược Sử Thế Giới Bằng Tranh - Sơ Đồ Tóm Tắt Lịch Sử Thế Giới (3500 TCN - nay) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kim Eun Sook

The seven are Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Julius Wellhausen, John Dewey, Sigmund Freud, John Maynard Keynes and Soren Kierkegaard. Albert Einstein gets a chapter but isn't one of the seven. The author presents the thinking of these men from the perspective of a Christian worldview. There is plenty of good information in "Seven Men." Unfortunately, the book is written in the stilted style of a college research paper. The author uses words such as "indeed" and "alas" a lot. Does anyone talk that way? Indeed, I think not. Also, the book has both a preface and an introduction. It doesn't need both. The book doesn't have an index. It ought to have one.
