An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam from debut author Thi Bui.
This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.
At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.
In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.
Thi Bui was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States as a child. She studied art and law and thought about becoming a civil rights lawyer, but became a public school teacher instead. Bui lives in Berkeley, California, with her son, her husband, and her mother. The Best We Could Do is her debut graphic novel.

評分原諒原生傢庭的漫長過程 耐心,再耐心一點。他們到美國來的夢和期望 並不需要你去承擔 原諒他們的單純妄想 纔是原諒自己
評分非常棒的一本成人漫畫書,我的第二本。在podcast裏聽到跟作者的麵談,幾乎是一口氣看完的。傢族史寫成這樣已經非常感人的瞭。尤其是其中的一頁用的是真實的相片。
評分不是二代移民典型的身份認同作品。首一整章寫新生,messy而艱難。中間大部分是父母在越南的傢國曆史。在越南螻蟻求生,至齣走美國,隱約並置的是一條“重生”産道。末章落腳於生老病死,點題的“盡力而為”(存活),是為父母的信條,亦是“幸存者”移民二代真正的文化遺産,刻在血肉裏的處世之道
評分很多地方都似乎是先寫瞭腳本,然後再配圖的,word-specific作品。這直接導緻很多地方的圖像更像是插圖(有利有弊,好的方麵是隱喻的圖像多瞭),而且由於作者技法錶現能力有限,人物畫得沒有區分度(這也是圖像和文字的區彆,圖像在限定內容方麵有時候差於文字,但不是所有時候都這樣;文字總是有選擇的,圖像更完整卻也更模糊),部分段落講得不清楚。
