具体描述
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado’s engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.
And it’s that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope―the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman―through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.
Machado’s dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

评分##"Dream House as Choose Your Own Adventure". No matter what you choose though, you're trapped in this abusive relationship and there's no lighter alternative. Carmen Maria Machado is brilliant.
评分##This demonstrates how pain and powerlessness being written in a beautiful way can be so touching in a melancholic way.
评分##hauntingly beautiful
评分##作者说她在湾区的dating不成功因为“Bay Area lesbians are pretty testy about the whole bisexuality thing”. (￣▽￣)”我只觉得湾区人好敏锐！！附注里面说到女权主义理论一直不愿正视les伴侣中存在的暴力和虐待，越是要么对虐待现象视而不见，要么试图把虐待者从”真女人“群体中划分出去，说这些人之所以虐待伴侣是因为她们的内心被男性气质污染了。作者呼吁不要把les关系宣传成乌托邦，les也是人，也有人的阴暗面和劣根性，正视les中的家暴现象，承认受害者遭受的创伤和虐待是真实的，法律对家暴受害者的保护才会惠及les群体。
