On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
内容简介:

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.

    那些依然羞於向你坦白的事,也只能用你看不懂的語言寫出來了。

    写法还是非虚构和诗的写法,出版社强扭成小说推销,读起来反倒有违和感。我对用美的语言描述暴力仍然持一定保留态度,就像阿多诺说,奥斯维辛之后,写诗是野蛮的。
