📚《紐約時報》2020年度十大好書
The Top 10 Books of 2020

🤕 Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
Don and Mimi Galvin had the first of their 12 children in 1945. Intelligence and good looks ran in the family, but so, it turns out, did mental illness: By the mid-1970s, six of the 10 Galvin sons had developed schizophrenia. “For a family, schizophrenia is, primarily, a felt experience, as if the foundation of the family is permanently tilted,” Kolker writes. He unspools the stories of the Galvin siblings with enormous compassion while tracing the scientific advances in treating the illness.
1945年，唐和咪咪·加爾文生下了他們12個孩子中的第一個。這個家族遺傳了聰明和美貌，但事實證明，也遺傳了精神疾病：到1970年代中期，加爾文的10個兒子中有6個患了精神分裂症。「對於一個家庭來說，精神分裂症主要是這樣一種感覺，就好像這個家庭的基礎永久地傾斜了，」科爾克寫道。 他帶著極大的同情心講述了加爾文兄弟姐妹的故事，同時追溯了治療這種疾病的科學進步。

📖 A Promised Land by Barack Obama
Presidential memoirs are meant to inform, to burnish reputations and, to a certain extent, to shape the course of history, and Obama’s is no exception. What sets it apart from his predecessors’ books is the remarkable degree of introspection. He invites the reader inside his head as he ponders life-or-death issues of national security, examining every detail of his decision-making. “A Promised Land” is the first of two volumes — it ends in 2011 — and it is as contemplative and measured as the former president himself.
總統回憶錄主要是提供信息，烘托聲譽，在某種程度上還可以塑造歷史的進程，歐巴馬的回憶錄也不例外。這本書與其前輩們的書不同之處在於深刻的自省。他邀請讀者進入自己的腦海，思考關於國家安全的生死攸關問題，審視自己決策的每一個細節 。 《應許之地》是兩卷書中的上卷，結束時的時間是2011年，這本書和前總統本人一樣深沉審慎。

🌳 Shakespeare in a Divided America by James Shapiro
In his latest book, James Shapiro has outdone himself. He takes two huge cultural hyper-objects — Shakespeare and America — and dissects the effects of their collision. Each chapter centers on a year with a different thematic focus. The last chapter, “2017: Left | Right,” where Shapiro truly soars, analyzes the notorious Central Park production of “Julius Caesar.” By this point it is clear that the real subject of the book is not Shakespeare plays, but us, the U.S.
在他的最新著作中，夏皮羅超越了自己。他選取了兩個巨大的超級文化對象——莎士比亞和美國——並剖析了它們碰撞所產生的影響。每一章都圍繞一年展開，有不同的主題重點。 最後一章《2017年：左與右》是夏皮羅真正的升華，它分析了著名的中央公園版《凱撒大帝》。至此，很明顯，這本書的真正主題不是莎士比亞戲劇，而是我們，美國。

10 CUỐN SÁCH HAY NHẤT NĂM 2020 THEO CÔNG BỐ CỦA AMAZON

Trước thềm mùa giáng sinh, Amazon công bố những cuốn sách hay nhất trong năm của mình với nhiều hạng mục khác nhau theo các thể loại, từ hồi ký, tiểu thuyết. Chị đang định đọc cuốn Fifty Words for Rain: A Novel. Còn mọi người có đang, đã đọc cuốn sách nào trong 1o cuốn sách này không?

1. A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice, and Freedom - Brittany K. Barnett

3. Blacktop Wasteland - S.A. Cosby
Sau một loạt khó khăn tài chính, Bug miễn cưỡng tham gia vào một vụ trộm kim cương táo bạo hòng giải quyết dứt điểm những rắc rối về tiền bạc của mình. Tuy nhiên, sau khi mắc phải sai lầm khủng khiếp, ông vướng vào thế giới ngầm nguy hiểm, thứ đe dọa mọi người mà ông yêu quý.

8. The Girl with the Louding Voice: A Novel - Abi Daré
The girl with the louding voice là cuốn tiểu thuyết đầu tay của Abi Daré. Cuốn sách giống như một sự pha trộn giữa A Woman Is No Man của Etaf Rum và Educated của Tara Westover.

Freaks (2019) เข้าฉายแล้ววันนี้

• หนังไม่ได้ใหม่ แต่ดูมีกึ๋นในการย่อส่วนสเกลพลังเหนือมนุษย์ แบบ X-Men เท่าที่งบทำหนังเอื้ออำนวย ขอแค่มีวิสัยทัศน์มากพอ
• หนังใช้เวลาปูพื้นค่อนข้างนาน เริ่มจากระดับครอบครัวก่อนจะพาออกไปดูว่าโลกข้างนอกเป็นอย่างไรถึงทำให้ครอบครัวเล็ก ๆ ต้องหลบซ่อนตัว ถือเป็นการปูพื้นที่คุ้มค่าเมื่อดูการปล่อยของในช่วงสุดท้าย แถมอะไรที่เล่าเหมือนส่งเดชจริง ๆ มันมีความหมายซ่อนอยู่หมดเลย
• มีฉากโหดพอตัว โหดแบบแทบจะเบือนหน้าหนี ไม่แปลกใจว่าทำไมต้องเป็นเรท R

-------------------------------------

ชอบคำว่า power มาก เวลาหนังพลังเหนือมนุษย์หยิบมาเล่าจะเป็นเรื่องของพลังที่คนธรรมดาหวาดกลัวเพราะไม่ไว้วางใจว่าจะเอาพลังไปใช้ในทางไหน ต่อให้เป็นคนดีก็ไม่น่าไว้วางใจเพราะมันไม่มีอะไรควบคุมได้ คำว่า power ยังสอดคล้องกับอำนาจเหนือกว่าคนทั่วไปมาก ๆ จนผู้คนหวาดระแวงและไม่ไว้วางใจเหมือนกันว่าจะเอาอำนาจที่มีไปใช้แบบไหน โดยเฉพาะเมื่อไม่มีอะไรมาคานอำนาจถ่วงดุลกัน หนังแบบ Freaks คือโลกที่คนมีพลังพิเศษกลายเป็นตัวประหลาดที่ต้องถูกกำจัด ส่วนที่หลบรอดก็ต้องซ่อนตัวเหมือนอย่าง 'เฮนรี่' (Emile Hirsch) ที่พยายามปกป้อง 'โคลอี้' (Lexy Kolker) ลูกสาวตัวเองด้วยการปิดตายจากโลกภายนอก
.
หนังเสียเวลาช่วงแรกในการวางรากฐานของเรื่องค่อนข้างนาน แถมยังค่อนข้างเสี่ยงมากที่เล่าแบบนี้เพราะช่วงต้น ๆ มันดูมีประโยคอะไรที่ให้ความรู้สึกว่าเล่าไปเรื่อยมีแต่น้ำ มีความชวนสงสัยค่อนข้างเยอะ ซึ่งต้องอาศัยความอดทนพอสมควรในการรอช่วงครึ่งหลังที่ค่อย ๆ เปิดเผยความหมายที่ซ่อนอยู่ในประโยคต่าง ๆ ของโคลอี้ สิ่งที่หนังปูพื้นมาถูกหยิบมาใช้น่าจะครบทุกเม็ด แล้วจุดขายจริง ๆ ของหนังมันคือการเซ็ตติ้งโลกมนุษย์พลังพิเศษให้ดูน่าเชื่อถือ (มีศูนย์รับแจ้งเหตุเมื่อเจอคนต้องสงสัยที่เลือดออกจากตา, มีข่าวในโทรทัศน์พูดถึงความรุนแรงของมนุษย์มีพลัง, ตำรวจคอยปราบคนมีพลังด้วยความเด็ดขาด, รัฐบาลสามารถยิงมิสไซล์ระเบิดบ้านตัวประหลาดได้เลย) เพื่อจะปล่อยฉากแอ็คชั่นโชว์พลังแบบ X-Men ในช่วงท้ายเนี่ยแหละ
.
ซึ่งฉากโชว์พลังช่วงท้ายจัดว่าบันเทิงเท่าที่หนังจะทำได้ในงบน้อยขนาดนี้ หนังสร้างสถานการณ์สุดระทึกที่เต็มไปด้วยข้อจำกัด ให้ตัวละครแค่ 3 ตัวกับพลังแค่ 3 แบบสรรหาวิธีกำจัดอุปสรรค อารมณ์แบบ X-Men ที่ต้องใช้พลังคนนู้นคนนี้มาคอยช่วยกันบรรลุภารกิจ ซึ่งฉากช่วงท้ายจะไม่ดุเดือดเลือดพล่านแบบนี้ถ้าไม่ผ่านการปูเรื่องมาอย่างเข้มข้น แอบดาร์คพอสมควรด้วยซ้ำเมื่อเด็กถูกปกป้องจากพ่อที่เลือกทางเดินในการหลบซ่อนตัวไม่ใช้พลัง แต่ในโลกที่ทั้งสองฝ่ายหาทางมาบรรจบกันไม่ได้เพราะมนุษย์หวาดกลัวในพลังเหนือกว่าตัวเองจึงกลายเป็นการบีบให้คนกลุ่มน้อยต้องลุกขึ้นมาสู้เพื่อปกป้องชีวิตของตัวเอง
.
จบแบบเหมือนอยากทำภาคต่อสเกลใหญ่ขึ้นถ้ามีนายทุนให้เงินก้อนโต ถ้าทำก็อยากดูนะ
