简介

当《纽约时报》畅销书作家艾达·卡尔霍恩偶然发现了一盒旧磁带，里面是她父亲——著名艺术评论家彼得·谢尔德哈尔——为从未完成的诗人弗兰克·奥哈拉传记所做的采访时，她决定去完成父亲四十年前开始的那本书。作为一个在东 Village 波西米亚文化圈中长大的奥哈拉终身粉丝，卡尔霍恩本以为这个项目会很容易，甚至很有趣。但越是深入，她越不得不面对不仅是奥哈拉的过去，还有她父亲的过去，以及她自己的过往。本书将引人入胜的文学史与一段感人至深、坦诚相见的父女关系故事交织在一起，探讨了子女想做比父母更好的自己，却又害怕可能付出的代价；渴望得到父母认可，却又怀疑其真诚等复杂情感。

When Ada Calhoun stumbled upon old cassette tapes of interviews her father, celebrated art critic Peter Schjeldahl, had conducted for his never-completed biography of poet Frank O'Hara, she set out to finish the book her father had started forty years earlier. As a lifelong O'Hara fan who grew up amid his bohemian cohort in the East Village, Calhoun thought the project would be easy, even fun, but the deeper she dove, the more she had to face not just O'Hara's past, but also her father's, and her own. The result is a groundbreaking and kaleidoscopic memoir that weaves compelling literary history with a moving, honest, and tender story of a complicated father-daughter bond. Also a Poet explores what happens when we want to do better than our parents, yet fear what that might cost us; when we seek their approval, yet mistrust it. In reckoning with her unique heritage, as well as providing new insights into the life of one of our most important poets, Calhoun offers a brave and hopeful meditation on parents and children, artistic ambition, and the complexities of what we leave behind.
