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
我們queers也是人，當然也會PUA和傢庭暴力。夾敘夾議，語言優美而脆弱，但還是感覺敘事得星星點點、鋪墊不太夠，令人有些感同身受，但又有些支離破碎、進展有些突然（可能也是篇幅小的緣故）。可能是迴憶錄的原因，女主的視角非常限定，所以顯得女朋友就像一個沒有心的神經病和怪物。我寫文章時也常常這樣，豐沛地錶達自己的視角和情感，以及對周圍人言行的無措和不解，對身邊的信息感到很passive、overwhelmed。我最近漸漸覺得這其實是作者本身不大能觀察和分析預測和總結周圍人行為語言和性格的緣故，換句話說就是有點self-focused、情商比較一般。我也想提高一下。
評分##"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.
評分##This demonstrates how pain and powerlessness being written in a beautiful way can be so touching in a melancholic way.
評分##Been there as well.
評分##英文有聲書。題材優，非常討巧。文筆其實也好就是看多瞭有點煩。但是內容真的普通甚至有點囉嗦。作者本人自己來讀有聲書真是敗筆，這個不知道是語速還是語氣還是停頓感覺分分鍾要斷氣，聽得令人煩躁想打人。

評分##Fine
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##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
