In a Nigerian town in the mid 1990's, four brothers encounter a madman whose mystic prophecy of violence threatens the core of their close-knit family.
Told from the point of view of nine year old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, THE FISHERMEN is the Cain and Abel-esque story of an unforgettable childhood in 1990's Nigeria, in the small town of Akure. When their strict father has to travel to a distant city for work, the brothers take advantage of his extended absence to skip school and go fishing. At the ominous, forbidden nearby river, they meet a dangerous local madman who persuades the oldest of the boys that he is destined to be killed by one of his siblings.
What happens next is an almost mythic event whose impact-both tragic and redemptive-will transcend the lives and imaginations of its characters and its readers. Dazzling and viscerally powerful, The Fishermen never leaves Akure but the story it tells has enormous universal appeal. Seen through the prism of one family's destiny, this is an essential novel about Africa with all of its contradictions-economic, political, and religious-and the epic beauty of its own culture.
With this bold debut, Chigozie Obioma emerges as one of the most original new voices of modern African literature, echoing its older generation's masterful storytelling with a contemporary fearlessness and purpose.
CHIGOZIE OBIOMA was born in 1986 in Akure, Nigeria. His short stories have appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review and New Madrid. He was a Fall 2012 OMI Fellow at Ledig House, New York. He has lived in Nigeria, Cyprus and Turkey, and currently resides in the United States, where he has completed an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan. The Fishermen is his first novel.
以少年的视角讲述发生在非洲的故事,虽然离我遥远,但作品中的悲剧意味带着超强的感染力。透过这部小说,也可以了解一些非洲文化。
评分故事、叙事都好
评分也许我没读到精髓。无法理解一个疯子的预言怎么就信了,信的还这么认真。Ike还说自己不信上帝信科学,听信了预言之后对兄弟们恶言拳脚相向,八百年前的小事都被翻了出来。愤怒积累进化,Boja捅死了Ike之后自杀。然后Obe把所有责任都推到疯子身上,和Ben一起杀了疯子。对MKO的描述听上去非常像毛主席万岁。父亲教育孩子也是拳脚相加。真是不太懂。
评分1/3没有再读下去的欲望。。。
评分故事、叙事都好
文/吴情 二零一五年,美国内部拉斯加-林肯大学文学与创意写作助理教授奇戈希•奥比奥玛出版了《钓鱼的男孩》(The Fisherman)一书,这部小说处女作甫一出版,便入围了当年的布克奖短名单,不少批评家表示赞赏。布克奖得主埃莉诺•卡顿写道:“这本小说只能用‘令...
评分我身邊有很多釣魚的人。週末開著自己的小車,或遠或近,在省境內各大大小小的河流、水庫,安營扎寨,好不悠閒。叔伯裡,釣魚上癮的,後備箱一直放著漁具,帳篷都是標配。 提到魚鉤,尤其奧班比跟本傑明用魚鉤行兇的場景,身上會不自主的扭曲。不相信兩個半大孩子會做出這麽兇...
评分手足同心亲密无间的兄弟在疯子的预言下心生猜忌,最终原本幸福团结的一家一步步分崩离析,所有预言一一应验……尼日利亚作家奇戈希·奥比奥玛处女作《钓鱼的男孩》,似乎是同希腊神话中俄狄浦斯一样的因果倒置,关于命运不可抗的悲剧故事。 小说的叙事并不同一般小说那种按时...
评分1996年8月3日,有“非洲雄鹰”之称的尼日利亚男子足球队,历史性地闯入了奥运会的决赛。亚特兰大的现场观众挥舞着这个国家的国旗,而在相隔遥远的尼日利亚阿库雷市,人们也在为心中的民族英雄加油呐喊。然而,大洋彼岸的体育场是艳阳高照,此岸的阿库雷却是大雨滂沱,并伴随着...
评分小说的节奏让我有点晕炫,总觉得没按我预期的来,以致读完会立刻想要重新来一遍。 男孩的视角与口吻很容易构成奇特的魅力,催泪的同时,也激发了一时说不清道不明的内心震荡,除了陌生的非洲文化对这个悲情故事的加持,肯定也与作者别致的叙事方式有关。 至于怀疑会凭空酿出...
