Gifts is a beguiling tale of a Somali family, its strong matriarch, Duniya, and its past wounds that refuse to heal. As the story unfolds, Somalia is ravaged by war, drought, disease, and famine, prompting industrialized nations to offer monetary aid -- "gifts" to the so-called Third World. Farah weaves these threads together into a tapestry of dreams, memories, family lore, folktales, and journalistic accounts.
Nuruddin Farah was born in 1945 in Baidoa, Somalia. He is the author of numerous novels, novellas, short stories, and plays. His novels include Hiding in Plain Sight, Crossbones, and his trilogies Variations on the Theme of an African Dictatorship and Blood in the Sun, which comprises Maps and Gifts as well as Secrets. After the publication of Sweet and Sour Milk in 1979, Farah became persona non grata in Somalia and served a self-imposed exile of more than twenty years, before he was permitted to visit in 1996. His novels have been translated into many languages and have won numerous international awards. Farah was named the 1998 laureate of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature. He now divides his time between Cape Town, South Africa and Annandale, New York.
Gifts and favours exchanged between individuals, organizations and nations; how to survive impoverishment with dignity; how to give and accept gifts without leading to domination and dependence; a personal tale emerged from the larger social-historical context of famine and humanitarian aid.
评分比起上一本Maps中随处可见的现代性叙事手法,这本朴实了很多,对话很多读起来顺畅了许多没那么让人头疼,但除了梦境之外,却又加入了大量具有本土和宗教特色的故事、寓言和传说,魔幻现实主义色彩倍增。但还是那句话,法拉赫的小说太他妈政治了,说教意味不盖直张……累
