圖書描述

From Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo, a landmark work of narrative nonfiction that tells the dramatic and sometimes heartbreaking story of families striving toward a better life in one of the twenty-first century’s great, unequal cities.

In this brilliantly written, fast-paced book, based on three years of uncompromising reporting, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human.

Annawadi is a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport, and as India starts to prosper, Annawadians are electric with hope. Abdul, a reflective and enterprising Muslim teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Asha, a woman of formidable wit and deep scars from a childhood in rural poverty, has identified an alternate route to the middle class: political corruption. With a little luck, her sensitive, beautiful daughter—Annawadi’s “most-everything girl”—will soon become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest Annawadians, like Kalu, a fifteen-year-old scrap-metal thief, believe themselves inching closer to the good lives and good times they call “the full enjoy.”

But then Abdul the garbage sorter is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and a global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power and economic envy turn brutal. As the tenderest individual hopes intersect with the greatest global truths, the true contours of a competitive age are revealed. And so, too, are the imaginations and courage of the people of Annawadi.

With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects human beings to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds, and into the lives of people impossible to forget.

和johns hopkins的教授們吃飯，director推薦瞭這本書。又因為bully的原因，一定想找來讀一下。書寫的很美。印度貧民窟也是一個個有血有肉的小世界。看到因為鄰居汙衊被逮捕的傢人，injustice真是無處不在。幸運的是最終法官還是決定判他們not guilty. 一個本來就貧苦的傢因為公平正義的缺失而支離破碎。以為城市化會帶動他們，讓大多數的人生活更好，但是這好像是一個被遺忘的群體，他們的存在往往被視而不見。不知到怎麼可以改變。

3.5。中間讀瞭幾次放下再拿起，感覺作者需要提高邏輯連貫性，我需要增強文筆和錶達能力

“我橫竪睡不著，仔細看瞭半夜，纔從字縫裏看齣字來，滿本都寫著兩個字是“吃人” ！”

「在全球资本市场中，微小的期望和不满，使人对共同的困境感到麻痹。穷人并未团结起来，反而为临时性的微薄收益彼此激烈竞争在整体社会结构中，这种城市底层民众的斗争，仅掀起微弱的涟漪。有钱人的大门偶尔会咯咯作响，却仍未被打破。政客们提拔中产阶级，穷人则干掉彼此。不...

One review on Amazon.com said "It's hard book to read, but I highly recommend it." At first sight I thought maybe the reviewer meant the difficult vocabulary, the vocabulary truly is difficult, for the author choose to depict slum life in India, which makes...

67 去过印度，第一次看见住在班加罗尔大街上的城市平民，还是非常震惊的，但是比起本书中描写的人们，似乎我见到的那些人还是强多了。在狭小的空间，人们为了仅有的资源殊死争夺，不惜自残和自杀，为了邻居砌墙掉到自己碗里的石块而自焚以陷害邻居一家？为了没有给弟弟做好蛋卷...

Katherine Boo是普利策奖得主。我买这本书一是因为它纽约时报2012年推荐的年度最佳之一，二是因为题材。我对写得好的非虚构一直有兴趣，而且自从2007年的短暂印度行以来，我对印度一直保持一种有距离的好奇心。不过读这本书的过程很拖拉，总算把它结束了！ Boo的文笔很漂亮，...
