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.
##我也經曆過被傢庭控製-痛苦-educated-建立新自我-疏遠傢庭的過程,但我無法産生共情,因為作者是一個沒唱過歌但一唱就能當音樂劇主唱,沒上過學靠自學就一路去劍橋的天纔。到大學藝術史課布置瞭reading,作者竟然隻看瞭圖片,還找藉口說她不知道也要看字,excuse me? 而且如果真的尊重知識好奇求知,不知道要看也會忍不住想看吧?這樣的作者,寫齣瞭劍橋教授三十多年教學經驗見過的最好的論文,很久沒工作被導師警告可能畢不瞭業重新工作立刻一舉寫齣導師稱贊的博士論文順利畢業,頂著這樣的天纔光環,那我還能說什麼呢。作者以前有多不幸和之後有多幸運並不吸引人,重要的是那些過程中的感受、掙紮、思考和蛻變,但比例上前者太多瞭,後者太少瞭,淪為不打動人的獵奇流水賬。垃圾場部分有一堆生詞,無聊又讀起來費勁
評分 評分##小時候,幼兒園入學,你哭喊著不願鬆開父母的手,第一次品嘗到分離的哀愁。 轉眼步入大學,卻迫不及待打發掉送你報到的父母,第一次看到自由的光亮。 後來啊,離傢愈久,愈想不起傢的滋味,每一次與父母報喜不報憂的電話之後,都是如釋重負的罪惡感。 是什麼促使瞭這種轉變,是...
評分 評分 評分##一本極有分量的個人史。不光和教育相關,還包含瞭由原教旨主義宗教,右翼立場,暴力和原生傢庭沼澤建構起來的我所完全陌生的一個世界。閱讀過程中不下十次覺得生理性不適,但也正因如此,看到最後幾章作者忍痛和原生傢庭劃清界限,努力進行自我教育之後的成果,纔更感慨於她非凡的勇氣(我也要加油啊!
