具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##瑣碎到甚至像在讀微博閤集。那些破碎的情緒和零散的事件，一點一點構成 Dream House 裏的那個她。選擇逃離的過程是痛苦的，可隻有切斷過去纔會迎來新來的開始。queer 也是普通人
評分##作者說她在灣區的dating不成功因為“Bay Area lesbians are pretty testy about the whole bisexuality thing”. (￣▽￣)”我隻覺得灣區人好敏銳！！附注裏麵說到女權主義理論一直不願正視les伴侶中存在的暴力和虐待，越是要麼對虐待現象視而不見，要麼試圖把虐待者從”真女人“群體中劃分齣去，說這些人之所以虐待伴侶是因為她們的內心被男性氣質汙染瞭。作者呼籲不要把les關係宣傳成烏托邦，les也是人，也有人的陰暗麵和劣根性，正視les中的傢暴現象，承認受害者遭受的創傷和虐待是真實的，法律對傢暴受害者的保護纔會惠及les群體。
評分##This demonstrates how pain and powerlessness being written in a beautiful way can be so touching in a melancholic way.
評分##喜歡作者解構這個題材的方式，很有啓發性和想象力。文本語言缺點兒靈氣。
評分##今年最愛 結構實驗+語言美（愛人的觸摸就像小孩子第一次用自己的錢買東西似的）+ lesbian abusive relationship + 相關史料 / pop quiz那一小節我被辱罵得好爽 / 還refer瞭The Price of Salt和Mrs Dalloway！
評分##Been there as well.
評分##Memoir的解構寫法。更可貴的是對queer群體（尤其lesbian）內的親密關係暴力的描繪。迴顧自身經曆的同時，更是對二次深櫃的沉默賦予講述的語言。
