具體描述
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado’s engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.
And it’s that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope―the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman―through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.
Machado’s dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

##Memoir的解構寫法。更可貴的是對queer群體（尤其lesbian）內的親密關係暴力的描繪。迴顧自身經曆的同時，更是對二次深櫃的沉默賦予講述的語言。
評分##Inventive structure of an abusive relationship told in many genres and devices (road trip, Chekhov's gun, queer villain)--had very low expectations of the 'gimmick' but turns out to be brilliant and fluid. An antidote to silence of queer abuse (is it homophobia if the abuser gets away with abusing the voiceless), entering the canon of folklore
評分##我的2019閱讀最佳，希望能有人翻譯中文版。書的架構和語言固然好，但更可貴的是把同性親密關係間的暴力這個經常在社會討論裏麵被掩蓋起來的題材寫齣來瞭。
評分##今年最愛 結構實驗+語言美（愛人的觸摸就像小孩子第一次用自己的錢買東西似的）+ lesbian abusive relationship + 相關史料 / pop quiz那一小節我被辱罵得好爽 / 還refer瞭The Price of Salt和Mrs Dalloway！
