内容介绍
澳大利亚最负盛名的作家之一卡鲁娜(Karuna)创作了一部震撼人心的母女剧,探讨了爱与控制之间的裂痕,
既有《房间》(Room)和《我的休息和放松年》(My Year of Rest and Relaxation)的幽闭恐惧,又有《淡水》(Freshwater)的青春焦虑。
16 岁的卡鲁娜怀有身孕,她发现自己被困在母亲的墨尔本公共住房公寓里 100 天,等待着孩子的降生,
同时也等待着母亲在一场关于谁来抚养孩子的令人震惊的权力斗争中的下一步行动。为了打发看似无休止的囚禁时间,
她给未出世的孩子写信,决心无论发生什么,都要让孩子知道真相。
卡鲁娜的怀孕是独立、欲望和反抗的结果,是她从过度保护的母亲那里获得自由的时刻。面对女儿的鲁莽行为,
卡鲁娜的母亲将她锁在公寓里,以确保她不会再惹麻烦。虽然产后禁闭在许多文化中都是一种传统,
但卡鲁娜的做法是一种爱的表现,还是一种精神虐待?随着分娩的临近,卡鲁娜和她的母亲在爱与控制之间反复徘徊。
尽管两人争吵不断,卡鲁娜还是能从最奇怪的行为中感受到母亲的爱。
《一百天》时而紧张,时而令人不安,它揭示了成长过程中的痛苦、困惑和快感,以及成年人保护孩子的强烈愿望。
From one of Australia’s most celebrated authors comes a powerful mother-daughter drama that explores the
fault lines between love and control, pairing the claustrophobic intensity of Room and My Year of Rest and
Relaxation with the youthful angst of Freshwater.
Sixteen and pregnant, Karuna finds herself trapped in her mother’s Melbourne public housing apartment
for one hundred days awaiting the birth of her child—and her mother’s next move in a shocking power
struggle over who will raise the baby. To fill the seemingly endless hours of her imprisonment, she writes to her unborn child,
determined that her baby will know the truth, no matter what happens.
Karuna’s pregnancy is the result of a heady act of independence, lust, and defiance that happened in a moment of
freedom from her overprotective mother. In reaction to her daughter’s recklessness, Karuna’s mother
locks her inside their apartment to her to make sure she can’t get into any more trouble. While postpartum
confinement is a tradition in many cultures, is Karuna’s an act of love—or emotional abuse? As the birth approaches,
Karuna and her mother repeatedly trip the fault lines between love and control. And somehow, despite their battles,
Karuna recognizes her mother’s love in even the strangest of behaviors.
At times tense and unnerving, One Hundred Days illuminates the pain, confusion, and thrill of growing up and the
overwhelming desire of adults to protect the children they
