"We all came to the powwow for different reasons. The messy, dangling threads of our lives got pulled into a braid--tied to the back of everything we'd been doing all along to get us here. There will be death and playing dead, there will be screams and unbearable silences, forever-silences, and a kind of time-travel, at the moment the gunshots start, when we look around and see ourselves as we are, in our regalia, and something in our blood will recoil then boil hot enough to burn through time and place and memory. We'll go back to where we came from, when we were people running from bullets at the end of that old world. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, that we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, only to die in the grass wearing feathers."
Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and has come to work the powwow and to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Black has come to find his true father. Thomas Frank has come to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and he has come to the Big Oakland Powwow to dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions--intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path.
作者说话太绕了,还喜欢用第二人称。人物多且杂。读到最后我都忘了之前这个人做过什么。一个说话绕的例子:But then he sees people run and stumble and drop and scream and generally lose their shit because soon , very soon , after what he at first thought must have been something else and not gunfire became in his mind and before his eyes definite gunfire.
评分这样的叙事完全不能打动我。只觉得做作。
评分weaving 12 characters told in varying 1st/2nd/3rd-person voices, the device can feel mechanical&tiring, hard to keep track&delve deeper, some forgettable side characters. Otherwise, tremendous new perspective on urban native americans, bravura pro/interlogues, intergenerational pain&violence, search for identity. heavy on import of storytelling.
评分无法带入 看不进去
评分如果想要了解印第安人的都市化现状,这本书大概是不错的选择。当我生长在都市当中,我该如何/我要不要去学习、传承自己的民族历史文化呢?当我失去了对民族的归属感,我是应该去追寻历史还是被同化?当我被贴上标签,我是顺从还是抗争? 有三个自己心中的小缺陷。第一个是感觉本书并不是一个完整的故事,所以作者说在写续集我也不觉得奇怪;第二是其实不太能理解为什么要设置这样一个结局(我的锅;第三是POV写的有点啰嗦,人并没有很好分清,但总体来说还是好读的
