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.

評分小孩子的世界我不懂。寫得確實非常不錯,隱喻我也能猜到幾分,然而不算是我的茶。
評分也許我沒讀到精髓。無法理解一個瘋子的預言怎麼就信瞭,信的還這麼認真。Ike還說自己不信上帝信科學,聽信瞭預言之後對兄弟們惡言拳腳相嚮,八百年前的小事都被翻瞭齣來。憤怒積纍進化,Boja捅死瞭Ike之後自殺。然後Obe把所有責任都推到瘋子身上,和Ben一起殺瞭瘋子。對MKO的描述聽上去非常像毛主席萬歲。父親教育孩子也是拳腳相加。真是不太懂。
評分以少年的視角講述發生在非洲的故事,雖然離我遙遠,但作品中的悲劇意味帶著超強的感染力。透過這部小說,也可以瞭解一些非洲文化。
