From the age of four, award-winning writer Edwidge Danticat came to think of her uncle Joseph as her “second father,” when she was placed in his care after her parents left Haiti for America. And so she was both elated and saddened when, at twelve, she joined her parents and youngest brothers in New York City. As Edwidge made a life in a new country, adjusting to being far away from so many who she loved, she and her family continued to fear for the safety of those still in Haiti as the political situation deteriorated.
In 2004, they entered into a terrifying tale of good people caught up in events beyond their control. Brother I'm Dying is an astonishing true-life epic, told on an intimate scale by one of our finest writers.
作者Danticat以第一叙事记录了自己的家庭从海地移民美国的艰辛。其中她的叔叔起初不听她父亲父亲的劝阻留在海地,结果惨遭政治迫害,为了性命逃往美国,不料被美国海关拘留,期间故疾发作,不幸去世。除了揭露美国移民海关的玩忽职守外,书中作者与她父亲、叔叔甚至海地的复杂感情感人至深,使读者了解移民在身、心双方面所面临的巨大挑战。
评分我唯一觉得奇怪的一点是作者在描述在她身上所有一切的不幸的时候,作为读者我竟然没有可以感同生受。不知是我太冷血还是她渲染的气氛还不够煽动他人。
