具体描述
In his fourth book, Colum McCann turns to the "troubles" in Northern Ireland and reveals the reverberations of political tragedy in the most intimate lives of men and women, parents and children. In the title story, a teenage girl must choose between allegiance to her Catholic father and gratitude to the British soldiers who have saved the family's horse. The young hero of " Hunger Strike," a novella, tries to replicate the experience of his uncle, an IRA prisoner on hunger strike. And in "Wood," a small boy does his part for the Protestant marches, concealing his involvement from his blind father.

I knew nothing about the tension between Ireland and England.

回程途中读了最后未读的这本McCann的中短篇集，三个故事都发生在北爱尔兰，都和对立冲突有关，McCann的写作不惧面对政治议题，甚至可以说他的写作即是一个political project，但这不妨碍他作品的艺术美学。在犬儒主义盛行的今天，这样的小说家稀有而珍贵。
