In his fourth book, Colum McCann turns to the "troubles" in Northern Ireland and reveals the reverberations of political tragedy in the most intimate lives of men and women, parents and children. In the title story, a teenage girl must choose between allegiance to her Catholic father and gratitude to the British soldiers who have saved the family's horse. The young hero of " Hunger Strike," a novella, tries to replicate the experience of his uncle, an IRA prisoner on hunger strike. And in "Wood," a small boy does his part for the Protestant marches, concealing his involvement from his blind father.

评分I knew nothing about the tension between Ireland and England.

评分迴程途中讀瞭最後未讀的這本McCann的中短篇集,三個故事都發生在北愛爾蘭,都和對立衝突有關,McCann的寫作不懼麵對政治議題,甚至可以說他的寫作即是一個political project,但這不妨礙他作品的藝術美學。在犬儒主義盛行的今天,這樣的小說傢稀有而珍貴。
