Người Đàn Bà Trong Cồn Cát Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kobo Abe

Young adult fiction. I liked the narrator's "voice" in this story (D.J.) She was honest and clever and had a sarcastic sense of humor that sounded real. Easy read.

The narrative is so clear and written with ease that I easily became engrossed in the story of the Ganguli family as it spanned throughout the years, each page, a catalyst to further reading and emotional investment in the book’s characters. The flow of the language is natural and rich in the truth it reveals about the immigrant experience, and though specifically about coming from India and making a life in America, Lahiri writes with authentic detail and wisdom about the described immigrant experience that it not only crosses borders, but speaks truthfully and universally. And though the main character, Gogol “Nikhil” Ganguli is the centre of the narrative, the specific perspectives and sufferings of the family that surround him in their own immigrant experience, found in his father, Ashoke, his mother, Ashima, and his sister, Sonali, speak the truth about the different trials and responses to transition. Lahiri speaks to the meaning of being ethnic, marginal, liminal, and the complexity of defining yourself and home. There is a tension and dichotomy between the previous country and the new, and the expectations one not only has of himself, but the expectations of those around him, and how these definitions stretch and become blurred to become something new entirely. The gut of the book is about the naming of things and people; how one identifies himself, namely, Gogol. How and why and what he was named, a central theme in the novel. It’s a story about coming into one’s own understanding of his relationship to his culture (old and new), his family, his home, himself, and his name. Surprisingly, the film is as beautiful and rich as the novel it is based on.

Ký Ức Vụn (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Quang Lập

'Hi, I'm Ariel Levy with the six o'clock news. Coming up: Shock and awe! Are your friends and daughters turning into bimbos? And next: Lesbians idolizing men so much that they are having sex changes! Stay tuned.' Levy's entire book operates like a sort of local news channel, with strategic interviews that seek to not only confirm but exaggerate your worst fears. Every single interview she includes features an often extreme example of someone who is damaged or sexually unhealthy that she then uses as a sort of benchmark. The book would be deeply flawed but passable if that were the only problem. She did touch several times on the damaging effects of women putting down and/or rejecting femininity to get ahead in a man's world. But Levy makes only a smattering of good points throughout—the rest is saturated with offensive transphobia, the erasure of women of color and a big heaping plate of slut-shaming—not to mention a generalized disconnect with most of the cultures she writes about. The anti-trans chapter was most troubling. She relegates trans men to the status of mere trend followers who were unhappy with being female due to various forms of sexism (rather than the actual reason of identifying as male). She 'confirms' this by interviewing a small subset of people who conform to her beliefs, rather than a cross section of the lesbian and trans communities. Her rhetoric in terms of queer women in general is completely out of touch and offensive. Levy treats both the trans and lesbian population as if they were dominant groups with significant power, describing San Franscisco lesbians as 'roam[ing] the streets like they own the place,' thus cementing her work as one of victim-blaming and shaming. Levy's slut-shaming is infuriating nearly to the point of comedy as she desperately claims the title of 'feminist' throughout her book while regularly calling other women bimbos and reducing them to their long fingernails and large breasts. She writes descriptions of every woman she sees as being complicit in the objectification of women (i.e. the strippers, sex workers, etc. she encounters) in completely visual, animalistic terms: 'A tall, rock-hard woman in jeans and heels with a long, silky ponytail and a motherlode of cleavage got on with her friend, who looked more garden-variety blonde human female. The hot one applied another layer of lip gloss, licked her white teeth, and then bared them.' Levy's work is also distinctly white-centric. The first tip-off: 'Then a song Cope liked came on the radio inside the hotel and she started doing that dance you sometimes see in rap videos, the one where women shake their butts so fast they seem to blur.' Throughout the book, the majority of feminists whose work she discusses—if not all—are white. Dozens upon dozens of intelligent women of color have said many brilliant, essential things about sex positivity and pornography, but Levy left them out. She didn't discuss the divergence between white women fighting to be seen as sexual beings while women of color had been abused as such for hundreds of years, which is strongly relevant to the conversation. The following quote is in reference to Caitlin Moran but applies here as well: 'A racist woman is not a feminist; she doesn’t care about helping women, just the women who look like her and can buy the same things she can. A transphobic woman is not a feminist; she is overly concerned with policing the bodies and expressions of others. A woman against reproductive rights — to use bell hook’s own example, and an issue close to your heart — is not a feminist; she prioritizes her dogma or her disgust over the bodies of others. An ableist woman is not a feminist; she holds some Platonic ideal of what a physically or mentally “whole” person should be and tries to force the world to fit inside it.' —An Open Letter to Caitlin Moran by Nyux

I had such a hard time understanding this book when I first tried to read it. I remember working at IHOP from 3-11pm, so I'd have a few hours of downtime before the dinner crowd hit and I would trudge through the pages, re-reading the same paragraphs over and over, thinking I'd missed something; I was so confused. Finally, a customer told me to just read it through; if I was confused, it would resolve itself by the end. And he was right. I also got my daughter's name from that book: Zeeny. This, of course, is assuming I actually reproduce...

Thế Giới Trong Mắt Em - An Toàn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Xact Group

In the rather niche genre of urban fiction, Tyrell was a book I greedily snatched up. It's got pretty much everything you'd expect of a book about a black teen growing up in poverty. A pretty good read, all things considered, but perhaps a little on the long side, and dragged a little towards the end.
