ひとりの午後に

by Chizuko Ueno

每个人都会有老去的一天，当子女已经独立，拥有自己的人生，丈夫或者妻子又先你一步离去，独留你一个人静坐在午后的阳光下；又或者，你本就是孑然一身，这样的日子，你要如何自处？也许，孤独并不能代表你的心境，也许，你甚至对这样的日子怡然自得？本书作者就是这样一个逐渐年华老去的独身女人，以学者的睿智和理性将人生的回忆以及一个人的生活娓娓道来，讲述着自己对人生微苦的领悟，将这些点滴汇聚成一篇篇细腻的随笔，送给热爱生活的你。

About the author

Chizuko Ueno is a Japanese sociologist and Japan's "best-known feminist".

Her research field includes feminist theory, family sociology, and women's history. She is best known for her contribution to gender studies in Japan. As a public intellectual, she played a central role in creating the field of gender studies in Japanese academia. At the same time, her radical tendency and strong character has invited criticism (she described herself as "critical, assertive, and disobedient").

Ueno is a trenchant critic of postwar revisionism and criticizes the whitewashing of Japanese history, which she claims attempts to justify its colonialism, wartime atrocities, and racism both before and after World War II. In particular, she has defended the compensation of Korean comfort women who were forced into prostitution by the Empire of Japan.

Reviews

[Zhen · Rating 5 out of 5]

读的是中文译本，goodreads没有加这个版本，就评价在这里了。
因为感冒不得不在家休息，躺着读完了这本，不知不觉间也度过了一个人的午后，边读边觉得上野千鹤子真的是一个十分可爱的人，行文、为人有我本科导师的影子，描写食物、聚会、自然都很鲜活，一看就知道是对生活倾注了感情的人。

因为这本书和一些检索收获了一些无用的知识，比如原来家用浴缸泡一次水要两百升；castella是葡萄牙人带到东方的小点心，它在南洋还有另外一个兄弟马拉糕。
还找到了打动上野千鹤子的那句俳句，原文短促而美，贴在这里：生きたまへ五月は青き風の色。
