真的好想重看（又說了一次

[Elaine L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

很喜歡第一四五篇，罪犯篇講到科倫拜事件殺手迪倫的媽媽，覺得是人類的希望之光。討論跨性別的篇章比我預想還要複雜深沈許多，讀起來欲罷不能。但討論神童的第二章讓我停頓一年以上，差點放棄此書。

作者花十年時間，深入訪問三百個「有其父不有其子」嘅家庭。中譯版分兩冊，上冊包括嘅「不有其子」有聾人、侏儒、唐氏綜合症、自閉症、思覺失調；下冊有嚴重智障、神童、因姦成孕、罪犯、跨性別。

縱然唔係冇人紀錄過哩啲界別，但好多時都係為propaganda服務嘅片面之詞。例如因姦成孕嘅故事，反對墮胎陣營就著眼於生咗小朋友然後happily ever after嘅情節，而支持墮胎嘅就描繪出悲慘嘅未婚少女。作者純純粹粹咁記低社群中、甚至個體中嘅百味陳雜，好立體，好真實，好好睇。

洋洋灑灑嘅大書以聾人社群開首，因為哩個界別嘅形成同矛盾，原來相對嚟講算係塵埃落定。同樣有較低嘅聽力，一派堅持用口語、融入社會，另一派用手語、以聾人身份自豪。

喺不同界別，都有類似嘅分野。同為侏儒，有人去做以月計嘅拉骨手術，亦有人以「小人」身份自豪。有跨性別者勢要跨到去另一性別，亦有人自在於性別流動。

受訪對象本身就過著如戲人生，遇上作者交心訪談，呈以深思文筆同舖排，哩本真係拎起咗會放唔低嘅書嚟。
