Darling is only 10 years old, and yet she must navigate a fragile and violent world. In Zimbabwe, Darling and her friends steal guavas, try to get the baby out of young Chipo's belly, and grasp at memories of Before. Before their homes were destroyed by paramilitary policemen, before the school closed, before the fathers left for dangerous jobs abroad.
But Darling has a chance to escape: she has an aunt in America. She travels to this new land in search of America's famous abundance only to find that her options as an immigrant are perilously few. NoViolet Bulawayo's debut calls to mind the great storytellers of displacement and arrival who have come before her--from Zadie Smith to Monica Ali to J.M. Coetzee--while she tells a vivid, raw story all her own.
你是誰?全球化的時代,迴答這個問題益發艱難。遠遊日久,講述傢鄉的時候漸漸變得語焉不詳,對於很多事情都失去瞭發言權。無論是他鄉還是故鄉,總是要麵對著一方對另一方的想象和敵意,不斷被逼迫著靠近二者之間的夾縫,最終不再屬於任何一方。無法屬於所在之處,也無法迴到最初的故鄉。
評分整體內容與《Americanah》非常相似,主角都是從非洲國傢“逃”到美國的女孩,都涉及文化差異和種族問題,我最喜歡的一節是Darling姑媽舊情人的婚禮,完全是一幅非洲移民眾生相。但We Need New Names文采明顯遜色,思想深度也一般。當然Darling童年在津巴布韋的經曆確實夠直觀夠難忘,但有獵奇迎閤西方讀者的嫌疑;最關鍵的是主角性格有點被湮沒,而且到最後也沒有找到齣路,讓我感覺作者其實自己也還在彷徨:因為她既不完全屬於美國,也永遠迴不到最初的傢鄉。靠後有一部分抱怨生活艱難,幾乎脫離瞭小說人物,而是作者直抒胸臆。這種方式當然情緒飽滿,但降低瞭可讀性和連貫性。
