ON IMMUNITY: An Inoculation
《免疫：接种》(On Immunity: An Inoculation)
By Eula Biss
欧拉·比斯(Eula Biss)。
Graywolf Press, $24.
格雷沃夫出版社，24美元
In this spellbinding blend of memoir, science journalism and literary criticism, Biss unpacks what the fear of vaccines tells us about larger anxieties involving purity, contamination and interdependency. Deeply researched and anchored in Biss’s own experiences as a new mother, this ferociously intelligent book is itself an inoculation against bad science and superstition, and a reminder that we owe one another our lives.
这部引人入胜的书混合了回忆录、科学新闻写作和文艺评论。比斯揭示出，对疫苗的恐惧显示了我们对于纯正、污染与相关性的深层焦虑。她建立在自己初为人母经历的基础上展开深入研究，创作了这本极为聪明的书，讲述疫苗如何对抗伪科学与迷信，并提醒人们，人类在生活中是互相依存的。
