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.
用户评价
##hauntingly beautiful
评分##Memoir的解构写法。更可贵的是对queer群体（尤其lesbian）内的亲密关系暴力的描绘。回顾自身经历的同时，更是对二次深柜的沉默赋予讲述的语言。
评分##琐碎到甚至像在读微博合集。那些破碎的情绪和零散的事件，一点一点构成 Dream House 里的那个她。选择逃离的过程是痛苦的，可只有切断过去才会迎来新来的开始。queer 也是普通人
评分##今年最爱 结构实验+语言美（爱人的触摸就像小孩子第一次用自己的钱买东西似的）+ lesbian abusive relationship + 相关史料 / pop quiz那一小节我被辱骂得好爽 / 还refer了The Price of Salt和Mrs Dalloway！

评分##This demonstrates how pain and powerlessness being written in a beautiful way can be so touching in a melancholic way.
评分##碎片化的回忆录，非常规但是并不难follow 也挺容易理解的，喜欢书中的很多reference
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.
