具体描述

"Mom, I'm gay."With three little words, gay sons and daughters can change their parents' lives forever. Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but it was not without a struggle. In Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres tells her story: the complicated path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter, the media's scrutiny of their family life, and the painful and often inspiring stories she's heard on the road as the first nongay spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign's National Coming Out Project. Insightful, universally touching, and uncommonly wise, Love, Ellen is a story of friendship between mother and daughter and a lesson in understanding for all parents and their children. "Mom, I'm gay." With three little words, gay children can change their parents' lives forever. Yet at the same times it's a chance for those parents to realize nothing, really, has changed at all; same kid, same life, same bond of enduring love. Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but not without a struggle. Coming from a republican family with conservative values, Betty needed time and education to understand her daughter's homosexuality -- but her ultimate acceptance would set the stage for a far more public coming out, one that would change history. In Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres tells her story; the complicated path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter; the media's scrutiny of their family life; the painful and often inspiring stories she's heard on the road as the first non-gay spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaigns National Coming Out Project. With a mother's love, clear minded common sense, and hard won wisdom, Betty DeGeneres offers up her own very personal memoir to help parents understand their gay children, and to help sons and daughters who have been rejected by their families feel less alone."Mom, I'm gay."

用户评价

我最近读完的这本小说，名为《最后的提琴手》，简直是文学界的清流，一股带着淡淡忧伤和浓郁人文关怀的暖流。它没有宏大的战争场面，也没有惊心动魄的阴谋诡计，它的力量源自于对个体情感最深处的挖掘。故事设定在战后一个偏僻的欧洲小镇，聚焦于一位沉默寡言的音乐家和他那把陪伴他度过无数个日夜的古董提琴。作者的文字极其克制和精准，每一个词语的选择都像音符般精确地落在该有的位置上，构建出一种近乎诗意的叙事节奏。特别是对“寂静”的描写，书中对小镇上雪后清晨，唯有提琴声穿透空气的场景刻画，简直让人屏息凝神。它讲述的不是音乐本身有多么高超，而是音乐作为一种超越语言的疗愈力量，如何缝合人心深处的裂痕。我欣赏作者不急于推进情节，而是花大量篇幅去描绘人物内心微妙的波动和日常琐碎中的美感。通读此书，仿佛完成了一次精神上的冥想，它教会我，真正的宏大，往往就蕴藏在最细微之处。如果你厌倦了那些喧嚣的故事，渴望一些能够触动灵魂深处的作品，那么这部作品绝对值得你细细品味，它会像一杯温热的黑咖啡，先苦涩后回甘。

不得不提我上周读完的这部青春成长小说《风筝断了线》。乍看之下，这似乎是那种老生常谈的校园故事：关于友谊的背叛、初恋的懵懂和对未来的迷茫。然而，作者的独特之处在于，她拒绝用煽情的方式去描绘这些主题，而是用一种近乎残酷的写实主义手法，直击青少年心理的脆弱地带。故事的主角是一个沉默的艺术生，她的“内心戏”远比她的台词要丰富得多。书中对于“界限感”的探讨非常到位，无论是角色之间情感上的界限模糊，还是主角在自我认知上的挣扎，都处理得极其微妙和真实。我尤其佩服作者对环境氛围的营造，例如通过描绘夏季傍晚时分篮球场上那种慵懒又充满躁动的空气，就能精准地勾勒出青春期特有的那种“一切都很重要，但又一切都无所谓”的矛盾心态。这本书的对话自然流畅，没有一丝矫揉造作，读起来仿佛就在倾听身边朋友的真实倾诉。它没有提供廉价的答案，而是真实地展现了成长的阵痛，提醒我们，那些看似微不足道的瞬间，才是塑造我们成为现在的关键。看完后，心中涌起一股温暖的怀旧感，仿佛重新体验了一次那段再也回不去的时光。

我最近邂逅的这部历史小说《萨拉丁的阴影》，在历史厚重感和人物命运的跌宕起伏之间找到了一个绝妙的平衡点。故事背景设定在十字军东征时期，但作者巧妙地避开了传统史诗中对战争场面的过度渲染，转而将焦点集中在权力核心的幕后博弈和文化冲突的微妙之处。叙事视角在君士坦丁堡的阴谋家、巴格达的学者和前线指挥官之间流畅切换，使得读者得以从多个维度审视那个时代的复杂性。最让我印象深刻的是作者对细节的考究，无论是描绘香料贸易的路线图，还是对伊斯兰哲学辩论的细致呈现，都显示出作者做了极其扎实的研究。它不是那种把历史人物脸谱化的作品，萨拉丁的形象被塑造成一个充满矛盾的领导者，他的仁慈与铁腕并存。书中有一段关于“信仰与怀疑”的内心独白，那种跨越时代的精神挣扎，即使是现代人读来也感同身受。这本书的语言风格古典而大气，读起来有一种沉浸式的代入感，仿佛真的能感受到中世纪尘土飞扬的街道和烛光摇曳的图书馆。它不仅是一部小说，更像是一扇通往逝去时代的窗口。

《星辰的几何学》无疑是我今年读过的最令人费解也最过瘾的后现代主义小说之一。这部作品完全打破了传统小说的结构藩篱，与其说它是一个“故事”，不如说它是一场关于“语言本身”的实验。全书的叙事结构如同一个精密的万花筒，不同角色的独白、报纸剪报、甚至是随机的数学公式和网络论坛的聊天记录，被作者以一种近乎随机的、却又暗藏玄机的顺序拼贴在一起。阅读体验是极度碎片化的，你必须自己去寻找那些隐藏在看似无关的片段之间的逻辑线索，这过程充满了挑战性，但一旦你捕捉到某个隐藏的关联，那种豁然开朗的快感是无与伦比的。书中对于“意义的建构”这一主题进行了颠覆性的探讨，作者似乎在暗示，我们所理解的“现实”，不过是信息碎片被大脑强行组合的结果。我曾不止一次地停下来，对照着书后的注释（尽管注释本身也充满了反讽的意味），试图梳理出一条清晰的脉络，但最终意识到，追寻清晰的脉络本身可能就是作者要打破的枷锁。对于喜欢挑战思维极限、热衷于解构主义文学的读者来说，这无疑是一份饕餮盛宴，但它对耐心和专注度的要求极高。

这本名为《迷雾之城》的史诗级科幻巨著，简直是一场对人类想象力的终极挑战。作者以极其细腻的笔触，构建了一个宏大却又危机四伏的未来世界。故事围绕着一个被遗忘的地下文明展开，他们依靠一种神秘的生物能源维系着岌岌可危的生存。开篇，那种压抑、潮湿的氛围感扑面而来，仿佛能闻到空气中弥漫的金属锈味和微生物发酵的酸臭。主角，一个背负着家族历史罪孽的工程师，他的挣扎与抉择，不仅仅关乎他个人的救赎，更牵动着整个城市存亡的神经。书中对于社会阶层的刻画尤为深刻，上层建筑的奢华与底层“深渊”居民的挣扎形成了强烈的对比，这种社会寓言式的表达，使得科幻的外壳下，涌动着对当代社会结构尖锐的批判。更令人称道的是，作者在处理复杂的时间线和多重叙事视角上展现了炉火纯青的功力，即便是中途被打断阅读，也能迅速重新定位到故事的核心冲突点。我尤其喜欢其中关于“记忆可被编程”的哲学探讨，那些关于身份认同和真实性的追问，让人在合上书页后，依然久久不能平静。这本书绝非轻松的娱乐读物，它需要你投入全部心神去解构每一个隐喻，但随之而来的阅读满足感，是任何通俗小说都无法比拟的。
