男子光天化日下连抢银行,居然令参审员当庭泪下;
……

撼动你对人性、罪行、爱与罚的全部判断。

这居然是本非虚构,悬疑设置妙极了,读起来感觉比读一些推理小说还有意思(这里省略一些辣菜),几乎是一口气读完了11个真实发生的犯罪故事,作者写得电影感强极了,每个故事都能拍个电影,不乏经常的动作镜头和离奇的作案动机,甚至还有不在场证明trick,《正当防卫》这个故事我可太喜欢了,《绿色》和《拔刺的男孩》也让我念念不忘,就是这个译者我跟你商量个事儿,咱别老把“贩毒”翻译成“做毒品生意”行不😂不知道还以为突然就成了黑帮老大

Narrative Economics 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Robert J. Shiller Princeton University Press 2019 - 10
From Nobel Prizeâ€"winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller, a new way to think about how popular stories help drive economic events
In a world in which internet troll farms attempt to influence foreign elections, can we afford to ignore the power of viral stories to affect economies? In this groundbreaking book, Nobel Prizeâ€"winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller offers a new way to think about the economy and economic change. Using a rich array of historical examples and data, Shiller argues that studying popular stories that affect individual and collective economic behaviorâ€"what he calls "narrative economics"â€"has the potential to vastly improve our ability to predict, prepare for, and lessen the damage of financial crises, recessions, depressions, and other major economic events.
Spread through the public in the form of popular stories, ideas can go viral and move marketsâ€"whether it's the belief that tech stocks can only go up, that housing prices never fall, or that some firms are too big to fail. Whether true or false, stories like theseâ€"transmitted by word of mouth, by the news media, and increasingly by social mediaâ€"drive the economy by driving our decisions about how and where to invest, how much to spend and save, and more. But despite the obvious importance of such stories, most economists have paid little attention to them. Narrative Economics sets out to change that by laying the foundation for a way of understanding how stories help propel economic events that have had led to war, mass unemployment, and increased inequality.
The stories people tellâ€"about economic confidence or panic, housing booms, the American dream, or Bitcoinâ€"affect economic outcomes. Narrative Economics explains how we can begin to take these stories seriously. The result may be Robert Shiller's most important book to date.

有点意思,用病毒学来分析narrative的传播以及对经济的影响算是拓宽思路了,有关大萧条时期的fugality narrative的分析to my untrained eyes算是亮点了,但也仅仅是觉得新鲜吧?论述本身是有条理的,不错仅仅论述这些例子总觉得有点论据不足

Dopesick 豆瓣
作者: Macy, Beth Little Brown & Co 2018 - 8
In this masterful work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of America's twenty-plus year struggle with opioid addiction. From distressed small communities in Central Appalachia to wealthy suburbs; from disparate cities to once-idyllic farm towns; it's a heartbreaking trajectory that illustrates how this national crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.
Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy parses how America embraced a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same distressed communities featured in her bestselling book Factory Man, the unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death.
Through unsparing, yet deeply human portraits of the families and first responders struggling to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows, astonishingly, that the only thing that unites Americans across geographic and class lines is opioid drug abuse. But in a country unable to provide basic healthcare for all, Macy still finds reason to hope-and signs of the spirit and tenacity necessary in those facing addiction to build a better future for themselves and their families.

相比于Empire of Pain,这本的切入点更容易relate一点,从受到opioid crisis影响的普通人切入的叙事视角,这个写法可以说是见微知著,当然难免感觉材料组织有点乱,但是人文关怀的意味更足了一些,比较好的点是探讨了应该如何看待成瘾者以及为他们提供帮助,社会面对止痛药成瘾者态度的改变也是道阻且长

瞧,这个人 豆瓣
作者: [德国] 弗里德里希·尼采 译者: 黄敬甫 花城出版社 2014 - 8
高妙恣肆的文字 惊世骇俗的思想 卓然独立的哲人尼采(Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche,1844—1900),德国哲学家、诗人。尼采既是哲学家,又是诗人。他的诗歌语言优美,诗意浓郁。他的论战文章,思想深邃,文笔犀利,但他也是个颇有争议的哲学家,近百年来,后世对其评论毁誉不一。
出于对自己成就的认可,这位目空一切的天才和疯子写了自己的传记,让后人得以理解他的学术轨迹和人生历程。《瞧,这个人》是最能代表尼采的作品,他以主要著作为线索对自己的思想主张加以描述,为尼采本人及其著作提供了某些心理学和传记性的材料。尼采在书中严厉地抨击了道德、灵魂、精神、自由意志和上帝。这本书具有绝对的重要性,这是一本无与伦比的表达智慧的书。

与其说是尼采自传,不如当作他作品的导读来读,自述的部分真的看得我有点不适,大概我高估了自己对“傲慢”的接纳程度……尼采的厌女是早就有所耳闻的,写着写着冷不丁踩一脚女性(包括在他疯狂之后照料他十数年的母亲和妹妹)也算是意料之中,但究竟为什么这么讨厌德国人?相比之下最喜欢的是附录一茨威格写尼采的部分,附录二让我觉得是带着点编者的情绪吗?用这种方式把尼采和希特勒联系在一起不能说是非常公正,但也有点意思……另外翻译有点一言难尽……

The Right to Sex 豆瓣
作者: Amia Srinivasan Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 2021 - 8
'Unparalleled and extraordinary . . . A bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing' Jia Tolentino 'I believe Amia Srinivasan's work will change the world' Katherine Rundell 'Rigorously researched, but written with such spark and verve. The best non-fiction book I have read this year' Pandora Sykes How should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. Since #MeToo many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool. To grasp sex in all its complexity - its deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power - we need to move beyond 'yes and no', wanted and unwanted. We need to interrogate the fraught relationships between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon. Searching, trenchant and extraordinarily original, The Right to Sex is a landmark examination of the politics and ethics of sex in this world, animated by the hope of a different one.

就是觉得很久没听性别问题方面的非虚构了,随便挑了一个,意外地非常有收获!这本的探讨几乎都是从与性行为相关的视角出发,当然也可能是我平时的思维模式比较远离这块儿知识,在这本里接触到了许多曾经浮光掠影地想过但没有深入思考过的问题,有关没有被对方胁迫却被社会存在的潜规则胁迫的强奸、有关要求explicit consent是否真的可以达到判断和防止强奸的效果、有关porn的作用以及其中以伤害女性挑起性欲的内容是否不该存在、有关师生间的性关系和情侣关系是否应该被禁止、有关incel和entitlement to sex、有关性解放和资本主义,甚至看似零散的Coda里也有不少振聋发聩的观点,整体性似乎欠佳,但是各个观点的讨论和案例的陈述都很有启发性,算是意外之喜

阿德勒心理学的底层逻辑我是很赞同的,然而这本书是真的不太行,从三大问题的总结开始我就失去兴趣,后面讲得太散了一点都不系统性,且并没有什么数据支撑,每次都拿出个案支撑自己的论点真的很难赞同,相比于心理学更像self-help book吧,一些思维模式和对案例的归纳总结明显带着时代的痕迹,感觉很condescending,翻译也很烂很dry,也难怪200页出头我看到要在图书馆续借……
