虎口餘生
Tiger, tiger Douban
瑪歌‧佛拉格索 Margaux Fragoso translator: 鍾玉玨 publishing house: 時報 2011 - 9
◎戀童癖受害者,瑪歌‧弗拉戈索親筆自傳◎ 作者瑪歌年幼時,母親即患有精神疾病,而父親性情暴躁,難以親近。鬱鬱寡歡的瑪歌,在7歲時遇見51歲的退伍軍人彼得,自以為找到了生命依靠,卻一腳踏進悖德深淵,兩人的不倫關係長達15年。 瑪歌‧佛拉格索面對不堪回憶,親筆寫下駭人聽聞的過往,以書寫來自我療癒,也提醒天下的父母引以為戒。 《虎口餘生》可能是近十年來主流出版著作中最猥褻的一本。──《紐約時報》 ◎導讀/洪素珍 臺北教育大學心理與諮商學系副教授◎ 作者瑪歌年幼時在住家附近泳池認識了彼得.庫倫,當時瑪歌七歲,彼得五十一歲。彼得邀請瑪歌走近他的世界,小女孩立刻愛上了滿是寵物與精緻花園的家,以為自己來到了天堂。 瑪歌的母親因飽受精神疾病困擾,無力照顧瑪歌,而瑪歌的父親面對生病的妻子與桀驁不馴的女兒,時常情緒失控。失衡的家庭關係,讓瑪歌愛上了彼得幫她打造的夢幻世界,兩人沉浸在脫離現實的幻想中,並且將他們的想像寫成《威虎》一書。不知不覺中,彼得身兼瑪歌的玩伴、父親與愛人三重角色,徹底控制瑪歌,讓瑪歌喪失了年輕女孩該有的社交生活與人際關係。不見容於社會的戀情加上失衡的家庭,讓瑪歌更加陰鬱,甚至試圖自殺。然而兩人的感情持續了十五年,瑪歌二十二歲時,彼得已是疾病纏身、靈魂被罪惡感啃囓一空的老人,最後跳崖自殺,逝世時六十六歲。 瑪歌親筆寫下這段回憶,作為自我療癒,也以此警惕家有幼兒的父母。她寫說:「他塑造出小孩無法想像的世界。經歷過這一切的人就像吸毒一樣,多年後仍對當時的感覺難以自拔。」 ★名人推薦: 令人震駭,這一詞道盡了本書的一切。 ──尼克‧福林(Nick Flynn),《衰城爛夜》(Bullshit Night in Suck city)作者。 本書將掀起廣泛討論。瑪歌.佛拉古索的筆觸直接而清晰,將一位戀童癖變成有血有肉的人,成功挑起讀者的移情情緒。正因為她這超乎想像的寫作功力,益發凸顯加害人所作所為的駭然程度,幾至讓人匪夷所思。她描繪她和加害人的關係時,下筆有力、無所畏懼、直來直往。作為一本受害者的告白,此書扣人心弦;作為文學作品,此書寫得成功。 ──愛莉絲.希博德,《蘇西的世界》作者 你可能自覺非常清楚兒童遭受性侵的悲慘遭遇,不過在瑪歌.佛拉古索筆下,這些深入刻畫的經驗既晦澀,卻又明亮美麗。佛拉古索的筆調自由流暢,替我們身邊慘遭剝奪、無法替自己發言的小孩,充當發言人。書中的內容既真實又強烈。 ──蘇珊娜.索能伯格(Susanna Sonnenberg),《美麗壞母親》(Her Last Death)作者 這個世代僅此一本、非讀不可的書,挑戰了我們根深砥固的人生觀。瑪歌.佛拉古索的新作涵蓋家庭生活、被蹂躪的純真、性虐待、戀童癖等,由於是佛拉古索的切身遭遇,下筆勇敢,不閃不躲,筆鋒強烈。讀完佛拉古索這本極具意義的新書,大家對童年的看法將為之改觀。 ──路易絲.狄薩佛(Louise DeSalvo),《寫作是療愈之道》(Writing as a Way of Healing)作者。

要说玛歌的童年遭受了什么虐待,绝大部分也是来自她的父母而不是彼得,相反,彼得给了她很多快乐和温暖。虽然她自己在后记里说的那些早该由她父母说的关于恋童癖什么的,但是从正文里看到的都是她对过去好时光的依恋,还有后来自己对可怜彼得的控制。至于写前言的那个什么心理学副教授,完全把人们的注意点集中在怎么避免儿童遭受恋童癖的伤害,而不是怎么样给孩子一个健康的成长环境。说实话我觉得彼得自始至终都深爱着玛歌,这一点比《洛丽塔》里的亨·亨强百倍。

神经外科的黑色喜剧
When the Air Hits Your Brain: Tales from Neurosurgery Douban
★ 8.9 13 ratings
法兰克·佛杜锡克 translator: 吴程远 publishing house: 湖南科学技术出版社 2006 - 5
本书记述了一名钢铁工人蜕化为具有人道关怀思想的神经外科医师的里程碑。作者以一个黑色幽默的角度看待神经外科医生的修炼历程,描绘医院里为生死博斗的悲喜剧。行文鲜活生动、风趣幽默,却又带着令人鼻酸的感伤与无奈。故事情节紧凑、明快,在时而欢笑、时而垂泪的阅读中,深刻体验医生工作的甘苦、压力与使命,病患流露出的无助、期望与感激。文中提到内科与外科的互相排斥,医生面对病患终告不治时的悲哀与痛切,医生与护士或其他医护工作人员的小小冲突磨擦等等,也是医界不断上演的戏码,不分国界。我相信,读者阅读起来,有如聆听医生的肺腑之言,文中情境也都可能发生在自己身上。在药水、针筒、电子仪器的场景中,交织成有血有泪,却又真实无比的人生,让人体悟更深、感受更强、启示更鲜明。 要知道这是官方简介。 一个从医大毕业的实习医生转变了医院的所有科,终于选择了神经外科。并且在那个拥有“疼痛博物馆”的科室,一待就是七年。

完全没想到这是一本五星级图书,一开始就像看其他的有关医疗方面的书一样,总觉得里面写的那些疾病会落在自己头上,但是一旦明了这所有的一切其实都是在正常不过的生命的一部分就很好接受了。除了疾病以外,书中所写的美国医院的日常运作也很有意思,其实现在国人对医生的态度大多在两个极端,要么奉为神明,要么恨之入骨。其实医生也是普通人,也会偷懒,也会感动。翻过来说,也许现在有些中国的医生也没有意识到这一点。最后赞一下本书的翻译,是我看过科普类图书里翻译的最好的。

The Tillman Story (2010)

Amir Bar-Lev actor: Pat Tillman / Richard Tillman
other title: 橄榄球星之死 / 蒂尔曼的故事 …
Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death. Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.

Broadway: The American Musical (2004)
Broadway: The American Musical Douban
★ 9.2 5 ratings
Michael Kantor actor: 朱莉·安德鲁斯 / 史蒂芬·桑德海姆
This six part documentary miniseries presents the evolution of the Broadway musical from its inception in 1893 to current day 2004. It presents those influential players both on stage and behind the scenes, as well as a variety of influential Broadway shows, a handful which are known to have transformed the musical into what the audience knows it to be today. The Broadway musical was often a reflection of what was happening in the world, but almost as often was meant to be an escape from problems of the world. Specific world events had a profound influence on the overall tone of Broadway shows, some of these events being wars (especially the world wars), Prohibition, the stock market crash and the Great Depression, and 9/11. Broadway musicals were also affected by the onset on various new media, such as talking movies and television. They in turn influenced other popular culture, especially what was known as the popular music of the day, especially up until the 1960s. Broadway musicals ultimately would become global commodities with many shows beginning their life elsewhere besides the New York, and many Broadway shows brought to the world stages through touring companies, regional productions and amateur productions.

◎影響未來100年的不朽傑作! ◎《娛樂週刊》第1,000期紀念刊列為近25年來最棒的一本書。 ◎電影由維果‧莫帝森(飾演「魔戒」亞拉岡)、莎莉塞隆主演。 ◎英國《衛報》專欄作家、知名環保人士喬治.蒙貝特將麥卡錫列入「拯救地球五十人」名單,認為「《長路》對環保的影響力,可說無他能出其右」。 《長路》是一個父親寫給孩子的故事,是一篇懾人心神的寓言。讀完這個故事,心中湧出的熱淚與力量,或可扭轉即將變得晦暗混沌的未來。 為了你,在這個早晨醒來,是我這輩子做過最勇敢的事。 這是一個關於「相信」與「希望」的故事。 故事的開場,設定在大災難發生的數年後。 孩子出生的前幾夜,不知名的災難改變了世界的樣貌。舉目所見只有冰冷的雨雪、無盡的黑暗,再不見清朗日光或蔚藍天色。荒蕪嚴寒的末日,道德淪喪,善惡無分,吞噬弱者是唯一的生存之道,人性與尊嚴在此灰色煉獄裡蕩然無存。一對父子在文明的廢墟間踽踽獨行,往南方海岸去尋找一線生機。孤獨的漫漫長路上,空氣是灰濛的,地面成灰,滿目瘡痍,眼前不見任何生物的蹤跡,唯有困頓凋零、無數死亡,然而父親仍教導孩子,要記得那個曾經有夢、有故事、有海洋綠樹的世界,要留守心中對於美與善的顧念與堅持……。 當家園崩毀,人類滅絕,食物匱乏,只剩少數倖存者時,我們能殘害他人生命以求自保嗎?我們所仰賴的那些美好的價值和道德觀,將是延續性命的阻礙嗎?麥卡錫在構思多年之後,以最精煉的字句織就,寫成《長路》一書,表達他對環境以及對人性的關注,也是獻給全世界的一首優美輓歌。

Voyage to next (1974)
Voyage to next Douban
★ 5.1 7 ratings
菲丝·哈布雷 / 约翰·哈布雷
other title: 远航未来
以下是来源于IMDb上的评论 'Voyage into Next (1974)' is a quaint little anti-war statement, the sort of laid-back, hippie-inspired short film that one would expect the 1970s to have produced. But it was also directed by John and Faith Hubley, a husband-and-wife animating team whose work is more subtle and understated than most. Many of the pair's films were produced by animating unrehearsed conversations (usually) between two people, and I had previously enjoyed their 'Windy Day (1968),' which excellently utilised this free-wheeling technique. 'Voyage into Next' was obviously more tightly-scripted, and that the film was to be an anti-war cartoon restricted the voice actors (namely Maureen Stapleton and Dizzy Gillespie) in which conversational paths they could take. Stapleton and Gillespie play Mother Earth and Father Time, respectively, as they observe the destructive conflicts waged between the human nations (represented here as floating boxes) and ponder why our species so unthinkably forgot the virtues of sharing that allowed our ancestors to progress beyond the Stone Age. There's nothing particularly impressive about the Hubleys' style of animation – minimalist line-drawn human figures highlighted with soft shades of colour – but their style is distinctive, later influencing short films such as the Oscar-winning 'Leisure (1976).' The two well-known voice actors are perfectly chosen (Dizzy Gillespie has one of the coolest-sounding voices ever), and the jazz musician's music is employed successfully to create the film's lighthearted mood, despite the grimness of the subject matter. Mother Earth and Father Time oversee their lilliputian creations, hidden amid mini puffs of artillery smoke, and contemplate their inability to alter human history. The future, it seems, is not in the hands of the gods, but in our own. Of course we have the ability to achieve peace and mutual understanding once more… but will we attain it in time? 'Voyage into Next' was nominated for an Academy Award in 1975, but lost out to the inferior claymation 'Closed Mondays (1974).
