Go, Went, Gone is the masterful new novel by the acclaimed German writer Jenny Erpenbeck, “one of the most significant German-language novelists of her generation” (The Millions). The novel tells the tale of Richard, a retired classics professor who lives in Berlin. His wife has died, and he lives a routine existence until one day he spies some African refugees staging a hunger strike in Alexanderplatz. Curiosity turns to compassion and an inner transformation, as he visits their shelter, interviews them, and becomes embroiled in their harrowing fates. Go, Went, Gone is a scathing indictment of Western policy toward the European refugee crisis, but also a touching portrait of a man who finds he has more in common with the Africans than he realizes. Exquisitely translated by Susan Bernofsky, Go, Went, Gone addresses one of the most pivotal issues of our time, facing it head-on in a voice that is both nostalgic and frightening.
Enlightened few (fitting personality, a retired East German professor in literature, and widowed). But what could the enlightened few do, their powerlessness; and the described shocking images of a white with few blacks still is the community's reaction to refuges.. But also true is how media slanting (even NYT etc) fuels community anger.
评分作为一本半纪实文学书,作者有真实地去采访过这些难民。本书基调缓慢细腻。读这本书的前几个章节曾想过主角应该会和这些移民者一起成长之类的,但是人的成长毕竟没有那么快嘛,主人公Richard并没有经历“人格上的升华”,可能这就是现实吧。 本书的结尾留给读者的是深深地无奈。上英语课有分析很多这个那个的,可是这些对难民的生活会有帮助吗?作者写了这么多使得人们更了解他们的生活并更关心他们的生活了吧,可能这是帮助吧。

评分我很好奇德文原版是怎样的:英译本顺畅优美,阅读过程但就文字而言就是享受。作者讲述难民题材很难得的毫无居高临下,打开了我对这个世界的新视角。
