內容簡介

內容簡介 "A tragic tale of obsession, exploitation, and lost souls. And the questions Rymer poses about human experience and experiments on humans make the story both intellectually absorbing and emotionally disturbing. Genie is a wondrous feat of storytelling and investigative journalism, compulsively readable while forcing us to think hard about our own humanity." --Amy Tan, New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck ClubThe compelling story of a young woman's emergence into the world after spending her first 13 years strapped to a chair in a closed room, and her rescue and exploitation by scientists hoping to gain new insight into language acquisition.

最佳賣點

最佳賣點 : From an acclaimed article in The New Yorker comes the true story of a young woman rescued from a childhood of epic abuse. Having spent her early years strapped to a chair, Genie, when discovered, had to begin her new life with the rudiments--how to walk, talk, even chew--and provided scientists with insight into a deeper mystery: what it means to be human.
