TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS[qh]
《美丽小东西》[qh]
When an anonymous advice columnist by the name of “Dear Sugar” introduced herself on The Rumpus on March 11, 2010, she made her proposition clear: a “by-the-book common sense of Dear Abby and the earnest spiritual cheesiness of Cary Tennis and the butt-pluggy irreverence of Dan Savage and the closeted Upper East Side nymphomania of Miss Manners.” But in the two-some years that followed, she proceeded to deliver something tenfold punchier, more honest, more existentially profound than even such an intelligently irreverent promise could foretell. Collected in Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar (public library), one of the best psychology and philosophy books of 2012, is her no-bullshit, wholehearted wisdom on life’s trickiest contexts — sometimes the simplest, sometimes the most complex, always the most deeply human — published under Sugar’s long-awaited real name.[qh]
2010年3月11日当一位匿名答疑专栏作家以“Dear Sugar”的名号出现在“The Rumpus”上时，她就提出了自己的主张：有着“Dear Abby循规蹈矩的认知，Cary Tennis真挚的高尚的粗鄙和Dan Savage对同性恋的无所谓态度，以及Miss Manners私下谈到的上东区女性色情狂风气。”而在之后的两年多时间内，她继续发布了一些内容，其风格的强烈、内容的真实和存在深远更十倍于之前的那 则文笔狡黠不敬的发言。《美丽小东西：Dear Sugar对爱与人生的建议》是2012年最佳心理和哲学书籍之一，收录其中的内容是她对人生微妙情境的不愤世、全心全意的智慧解读——这些情境有时很简单，有时很复杂，但总是与最深处的人性相关——并且以大家长久期待的Sugar的真名发表。[qh]
