'Suppose you [Bigger Thomas] wake up some morning and find your sister dead? What would you think then?' She asked. 'Suppose those rats cut our veins at night when we sleep? Naw! Nothing like that ever bothers you! All you care about is your own pleasure! Even when the relief offers you a job you won't take it till they threaten to cut off your food and starve you! Bigger, honest, you the most no-countest man I ever seen in all my life!' (查看原文)
He [Bigger] shut their voices out of his mind. He hated his family because he knew that they were suffering and that he was powerless to help them. He knew that the moment he allowed himself to feel to its fullness how they lived, the shame and misery of their lives, he would be swept out of himself with fear and despair. So he held toward them an attitude of iron reserve; he lived with them, but behind a wall, a curtain. And toward himself he was even more exacting. He knew that the moment he allowed what his life meant to enter fully into his consciousness, he would either kill himself or someone else. So he denied himself and acted tough. (查看原文)
It was totally an accident that I encountered this book, which was when I watched the movie American History X and this book was there as the son was talking to his father over the dinner. It always fasincates me when I come across with black race, Jew, etc...

在小彩虹里印象最深、最喜欢的一辑，读完之后就特地在多抓鱼里提前订购了这本书。这是我第一次读黑人文学，读完之后还是一样的喜欢。其实在读的过程中都没有苛责别格行为的正确与否了。从法律上来讲他的行为肯定是错的，但是从整本书铺设的背景来看，我又很能理解他的做法。尤其是放在2020这个大环境上来读这本书，非常契合目前的时代主题。后半本简直让人不停划线摘录。这样一本好书，还好我自己没有错过。

读了《他们眼望上苍》和《看不见的人》，还是给这个加一星吧。

当叙述者借律师之口说出那些无法被别格言说的痛苦感觉时，作者的个人体悟已然介入故事，替别格完成了自我认识和超越，这是文本的败笔也是生活的和解。它让原本存在于那些单调、重复、大量对话的缝隙被文明缝合，而文明却是缠绕“土生子”的梦魇和悲剧母题。

彩虹系列的一辑，节选了土生子的片段，补了书评后捋顺了整个故事的脉络。对法庭上辩护那一段印象很深，行云流水饶有意味，别格是数千万别格的缩影，制度和社会的产物，哀其不幸却没办法怒其不争，争的途径被占据固若金汤的高楼主人们堵的严严实实，让人感叹人为了巩固和加强自己阶层的利益可以发挥想象力到极致，不惜以上帝之名行罪恶之事。别格们和对岸的白人们，各行各的罪恶，一个人根源，一个是结果。 划线的句子太多啦。 不... 彩虹系列的一辑，节选了土生子的片段，补了书评后捋顺了整个故事的脉络。对法庭上辩护那一段印象很深，行云流水饶有意味，别格是数千万别格的缩影，制度和社会的产物，哀其不幸却没办法怒其不争，争的途径被占据固若金汤的高楼主人们堵的严严实实，让人感叹人为了巩固和加强自己阶层的利益可以发挥想象力到极致，不惜以上帝之名行罪恶之事。别格们和对岸的白人们，各行各的罪恶，一个人根源，一个是结果。 划线的句子太多啦。 不公正待遇抹掉了一种生活方式，但是另一种生活方式代之而起，带着它自己的权利、需要和欲望。今天这发生的不是不公正，而是压迫，是一种要扼杀或者消灭一个新的生活方式的企图。 在我们中间成长的，就是这样一个新的生活方式，它像石头底下长出来的野草那样表现自己，我们却管它叫做罪行，并用更多的凶杀来缓和内疚和仇恨。 (展开)
