具体描述

Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.

Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

##听完了这本超级震撼的书,翻看了一些作者的采访和其他周边,还有点缓不过来。不是震撼与Tara的成功,他们家人想必都是聪明的,而是觉得害怕,莫名地感同身受地害怕,到底什么是真实什么是一个人对事实的感受?记忆有什么可靠的?价值观和世界观被打碎时怎样才能和解?怎么能接受自己心中的事实?rationalization是每个人必须要做的,到底要做到什么程度?我回想我的记忆里很多都被掩埋强迫自己遗忘了,可是听这些故事有种身历其境的恐惧感无法摆脱。

##我也经历过被家庭控制-痛苦-educated-建立新自我-疏远家庭的过程,但我无法产生共情,因为作者是一个没唱过歌但一唱就能当音乐剧主唱,没上过学靠自学就一路去剑桥的天才。到大学艺术史课布置了reading,作者竟然只看了图片,还找借口说她不知道也要看字,excuse me? 而且如果真的尊重知识好奇求知,不知道要看也会忍不住想看吧?这样的作者,写出了剑桥教授三十多年教学经验见过的最好的论文,很久没工作被导师警告可能毕不了业重新工作立刻一举写出导师称赞的博士论文顺利毕业,顶着这样的天才光环,那我还能说什么呢。作者以前有多不幸和之后有多幸运并不吸引人,重要的是那些过程中的感受、挣扎、思考和蜕变,但比例上前者太多了,后者太少了,沦为不打动人的猎奇流水账。垃圾场部分有一堆生词,无聊又读起来费劲

##还记得高尔基爷爷的人生三部曲的第三部吗?高爷爷从来没有上过大学,社会就是他的大学。小时候发现这件事儿的时候一脑门子的不明觉厉。 我想对Tara来讲,在家乡爱达荷州度过的年月不比在BYU和剑桥的分量轻。也许这是不言而喻的事实。因为使她在众学生中让人眼前一亮的正是她站...
