她出生时名叫Marguerite，但她的哥哥Bailey给她起了昵称Maya（意为“我的”）。幼年时，他们被送到阿肯色州斯塔普斯与祖母同住。他们早期的世界围绕着这位非凡的女性以及她为黑人社区经营的The Store打转。白人不仅是陌生人——他们更像是来自另一个星球。然而，即使未曾露面，他们依然统治着一切。The Store是生活的一个微观世界：其井然有序的格局是一种慰藉，即使在最卑劣的挫败之中也是如此。但随后闯入者来了——起初是嘲弄人的穷苦白人孩子，他们唯独被祖母所压制

我挺喜欢这个看似很蠢的想法，推荐三本不同的书怎么样：埃里克·威廉姆斯的《Capitalism and Slavery》——让人看清真正的邪恶是什么样；伊本·图费勒的《Hayy ibn Yaqdhan》——美好生活的“理论”；玛雅·安吉洛的《I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings》——美好生活的“实践”；《I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings》也可以换成维克多·弗兰克尔的《Man's Search for Meaning》
I like this dumb idea, how about 3 different books Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams - what evil really looks like Hayy ibn Yaqdhan by Ibn Tufail - the "theory" of a good life I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou - the "practice" of a good life I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings can be optionally replaced by Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl
……才能自己负担得起。我的阅读量依然远超平均水平；据统计过去一年里大约有四分之一的美国人一本书都没翻过[0]！除了《I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings》，清单上的书我都读过。我隐约记得上学时玛雅·安吉洛的诗像是被强行塞给我读的，导致我对她的作品一直提不起什么兴趣。这篇文章让我去查了一下……
…to afford them on my own. I still read far more than the average; apparently around one in four Americans haven't picked up a book in any form in the past year[0]! I've read all of these books except "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings". I have a vague memory of feeling like the Maya Angelou's poetry was somewhat forced on me in school, and as a result wasn't particularly interested in any of her works. This article lead me to do a…
……Alexie、西奥多·德莱塞的《An American Tragedy》、爱丽丝·沃克的《The Color Purple》、M.T. 安德森的《Feed》、巴兹·比辛格的《Friday Night Lights》、塞西莉·冯·齐格萨的《Gossip Girl》、玛雅·安吉洛的《I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings》。我有点意外詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《Ulysses》居然没上榜，不过也许 AI 也啃不动它吧。
…Alexie An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser The Color Purple by Alice Walker Feed by M.T. Anderson Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou I'm a bit surprised that Ulysses by James Joyce didn't make the list, but maybe the AI couldn't get through it either.
这让我想起高中时读玛雅·安吉洛的《I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings》。我问老师（当年他还逼我们背过《贝奥武夫》的开篇），安吉洛是怎么把其中的一些原话记得那么清楚的。我记得老师当时大概是回答说：“这是……
This reminds me of reading Maya Angelou’s _I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings_ in high school. I asked our teacher (who also made us memorize the opening to beouwouf) how Angelou could remember some of the quotes. I recall the teacher’s response being something like, “this is…

……非常老、非常白人、非常男性的刻板框架里。啊对对对，你不应该去读陀思妥耶夫斯基，就因为他是个白人老头。顺便说一句（FWIW），我小时候在高中就必须得读《奥德赛》，还有像《Beloved》以及《I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings》这样的书，所以我感觉这篇文章的作者选例子有点刻意挑挑拣拣了。
…very old, very white, and very male box. Ahh yes, you shouldn't have to read Dostoevsky because he was just an old white guy. FWIW when I was a kid I had to read the Odyssey and books like Beloved and I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in high school, so I think this article author is being a little selective with her examples.
