图书描述

Hailed as a "supreme storyteller" (Philadelphia Inquirer) for his "cunning, dismaying and beautifully conceived" fiction (New York Times), Akhil Sharma is possessed of a narrative voice "as hypnotic as those found in the pages of Dostoyevsky" (The Nation). In his highly anticipated second novel, Family Life, he delivers a story of astonishing intensity and emotional precision.

We meet the Mishra family in Delhi in 1978, where eight-year-old Ajay and his older brother Birju play cricket in the streets, waiting for the day when their plane tickets will arrive and they and their mother can fly across the world and join their father in America. America to the Mishras is, indeed, everything they could have imagined and more: when automatic glass doors open before them, they feel that surely they must have been mistaken for somebody important. Pressing an elevator button and the elevator closing its doors and rising, they have a feeling of power at the fact that the elevator is obeying them. Life is extraordinary until tragedy strikes, leaving one brother severely brain-damaged and the other lost and virtually orphaned in a strange land. Ajay, the family’s younger son, prays to a God he envisions as Superman, longing to find his place amid the ruins of his family’s new life.

Heart-wrenching and darkly funny, Family Life is a universal story of a boy torn between duty and his own survival

这似乎是我读的第一本不是白人写的英文书。非常好读。主角面临多种家庭创伤聪明的哥哥因为意外brain damage成了傻子卧床不起父亲酗酒成瘾从严重程度前者比后者大但当前者成为背景后者的揭露更humiliating 很多细节戳到点友邻评价“海明威粉转型投行人赢的故事”哈哈哈哈

firstly i don’t think this is cliche:) it depicts a mundane but somehow melodramatic life how an Indian immigrant family experienced in America. the language Akhil used is simple and subtle, leaving space for readers feeling detached but sometimes closely linked as well. this is contradictory yet appealing. i really appreciate it

Family Life uses a first-person narrative, a literary strategy that is employed in many novels by Asian American authors like Charles Yu, Bich Minh Nyugen, and Maxine Hong Kingston. It is special in the category of Asian American fiction in that the main na...
