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.
Quite a page-turner. Finished reading it in one day.

我捋一下线索哈:奥班比和本杰明杀人之后,风声越来越紧,兄弟俩决定连夜逃亡。半路上,本杰明觉得不能让父母一次失去两个儿子,坚持要回家,于是被捕。 之后本杰明坐牢的六年间,前面三年经常收到奥班比的信——由奥班比的朋友伊巴夫转交的。在最后一封信上,奥班比说他跟一位...
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...
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...
