National Book Critics Circle Award
◆
從百慕大短褲，貝弗利山莊和加州俚語的油腔滑調，
到磨舊的浴袍，伊拉剋小鎮和亞拉姆文的艱澀纏繞，
一個加州男孩，該如何走入古闆猶太父親的內心世界？
◆◇
一段橫跨伊拉剋、以色列、美國三地的尋根之旅，
在對庫爾德猶太人韆年榮光與悲情的迴溯中，
追尋關乎血脈與文明的自我認同和父子和解。
◆◇◆
《父親的失樂園》是一個庫爾德猶太傢族四代曆經六十年，橫跨伊拉剋、以色列、美國三地的真實傳奇。作者阿裏埃勒•薩巴爾（Ariel Sabar）是典型的加州男孩，他與古闆的猶太父親之間的衝突，是一種縮小版的文明衝突，是古代庫爾德斯坦與20世紀80年代洛杉磯的衝突。
帶著“我是誰”的疑問，薩巴爾踏上瞭尋找原鄉之旅，迴到孕育古代文明的神秘搖籃、當下備受關注的敏感地帶——曆史上的庫爾德斯坦，即現今位於伊拉剋北部的劄鬍。在這裏，一群庫爾德猶太人在偏僻的山麓地帶生存瞭近三韆年，與穆斯林和基督教徒在伊拉剋北部的崇山峻嶺間毗鄰而居，和諧共處。群山環繞、與世隔絕的環境讓他們一直保有“離上帝最近的語言”——亞拉姆語。
在荒漠與群山之間，作者尋訪傢族的起源，尋求父子和解的良方。在層層追尋之中，他迴溯瞭庫爾德猶太人的韆年榮光，探尋瞭不同族群及信仰間和睦共容的可能，也記錄瞭少數族群為保有本有文化所經受的磨難。

“我们的过去有什么价值？”尽管父亲是亚拉姆语的权威，加州男孩阿里埃勒·萨巴尔仍对此不屑一顾。拯救垂死的语言就跟坚守失落的传统一样，像是上一代人的墨守成规，年轻人觉得不够酷。萨巴尔甚至为自己早早赢得的胜利自喜：父亲差点给自己起名为“阿拉姆”——一个古叙利亚的...

講故事的手法有點《追風箏的人》的風格——娓娓道來，異國風情濃鬱兼帶些許的神秘意味，內容上卻又類似於《美人魚的椅子》——一種重迴故土的自我救贖，一段自我與他人關係的重新建構，一場父愛沉默如山的全新詮釋。失樂園，既是最快樂的源頭，也是父子間隔閡的矛盾點，以故事帶齣文化發端，更增可讀性

评分美國國傢書評人協會奬 首奬 National Book Critics Circle Award 一段橫跨伊拉剋、以色列、美國三地的尋根之旅， 在對庫爾德猶太人韆年榮光與悲情的迴溯中， 追尋關乎血脈與文明的自我認同和父子和解。
评分我真的知道自己傢族的曆史嗎？我一直這麼著盤問自己。其實我很羨慕薩巴爾，雖然庫爾德猶太文化目前的處境已十分危險，這不僅因為他能把庫爾德人的故事講得精彩異常，更是因為，在這次堪稱微型史詩的迴溯之旅中，他真正找迴瞭屬於自己的、“靈與肉”的雙重傢園。
评分這是一部傢族史，也是一部傢人爭端史！作者美國裔猶太人小時候很難理解自己父親一些固執行為，雖然移民生活在美國瞭，父親還很固執希望自己兒子能夠學習他們的語言與民俗文化！這也是他跟父親之間衝突的根源，他從開始不理解，到瞭自己有瞭孩子慢慢理解父親的苦心，也明白瞭父親為什麼要這樣偏執！
