书籍介绍

As a child, Fee is a gifted Korean-American soprano in a boys choir in Maine. Silent after being abused by the director, he is unable to warn his friends or protect his best friend, Peter. Even after the director is imprisoned, Fee continues to believe he is responsible, and while Fee survives to adulthood, his friends do not. In college and after, he struggles to bury his guilt and grief, until as a teacher, he meets a beautiful young student who resembles Peter, and is forced to confront the demons of his brutal past.

如此忧伤的故事。如此痛苦的人生。
从Chee的2018年出版的回忆录追过来… 读起来实在太痛心了!儿时的trauma可以跟随一个人很久很久啊,被恋童癖的成年人的性侵犯的经历实在难以想象…
都是以第一人称的口吻来叙述,偏重于主观感受的描写。技巧上会让我感到晕眩,情感意识流动太快,有时候跟不上节奏。贯穿全文的一个主线是主角和他唱诗班的同伴们曾经遭受老师性侵的悲伤故事,感觉主角一直对过去耿耿于怀,甚至有求死的念头。
实在不是我喜欢的风格。而且我真的受不了对话不用引号,全都是He says, So you hate it? 这样的句子。Ugh!!!
心碎。。
短短228页,心碎数次。很好读,写得也很美,可以推荐。
