图书描述

As the Civil Rights movement begins to reach the black enclave of Frenchtown in segregated Tallahassee, Elwood Curtis takes the words of Dr. Martin Luther King to heart: He is "as good as anyone." Abandoned by his parents, but kept on the straight and narrow by his grandmother, Elwood is about to enroll in the local black college. But for a black boy in the Jim Crow South of the early 1960s, one innocent mistake is enough to destroy the future. Elwood is sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, whose mission statement says it provides "physical, intellectual and moral training" so the delinquent boys in their charge can become "honorable and honest men."

In reality, the Nickel Academy is a grotesque chamber of horrors where the sadistic staff beats and sexually abuses the students, corrupt officials and locals steal food and supplies, and any boy who resists is likely to disappear "out back." Stunned to find himself in such a vicious environment, Elwood tries to hold onto Dr. King's ringing assertion "Throw us in jail and we will still love you." His friend Turner thinks Elwood is worse than naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble.

The tension between Elwood's ideals and Turner's skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades. Formed in the crucible of the evils Jim Crow wrought, the boys' fates will be determined by what they endured at the Nickel Academy.

Based on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.

基于现实但写得并不特别touching

评分

非常压抑,把人性最难受的心情和经历都写尽了。看似薄薄一本,实际上很不简单。

评分

作者中规中矩的一部作品吧 没有当年读underground railroad那么震惊 结尾从微微震惊到唏嘘到心酸 ”we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom”

评分

有点太悲伤,没看完。

评分

The Nickel Boy and The Underground Railroad are about out, about getting away from the yoke, or hell of discrimination, inequality and horror. There are five ways to get out of the Nickel, but few left alive. The ending of the Nickel boy overwhelmed me so much that I couldn't even utter any words. Are we seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?
