"We all came to the powwow for different reasons. The messy, dangling threads of our lives got pulled into a braid--tied to the back of everything we'd been doing all along to get us here. There will be death and playing dead, there will be screams and unbearable silences, forever-silences, and a kind of time-travel, at the moment the gunshots start, when we look around and see ourselves as we are, in our regalia, and something in our blood will recoil then boil hot enough to burn through time and place and memory. We'll go back to where we came from, when we were people running from bullets at the end of that old world. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, that we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, only to die in the grass wearing feathers."
Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and has come to work the powwow and to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Black has come to find his true father. Thomas Frank has come to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and he has come to the Big Oakland Powwow to dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions--intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path.
第三本普利策奬獲奬作品,一如既往地概念好,實施地差,能讀完全靠忍。作者在為整個印第安土著群體發生,講述他們族群的曆史,傷痛,創作動機非常認可,可是小說本身,真的喜歡不起來啊……印第安人比黑人慘多瞭,現狀也慘多瞭,依舊處在極其邊緣的位置。小說中的每一個人,都過著fucked up 生活,我覺得這是他們的曆史過往和當下的整體社會經濟地位導緻的結果。許多年輕的印第安人內裏白化,可是棕紅色的皮膚又阻礙他們進入白人主流社會,這境況比黑人慘。
評分weaving 12 characters told in varying 1st/2nd/3rd-person voices, the device can feel mechanical&tiring, hard to keep track&delve deeper, some forgettable side characters. Otherwise, tremendous new perspective on urban native americans, bravura pro/interlogues, intergenerational pain&violence, search for identity. heavy on import of storytelling.
評分路上讀書解讀: 在故事的最後,死亡還是重生,所有人的命運似乎都是懸而未決的。在書裏,我們看到瞭那些被稱為美國原住民的人們支離破碎的命運。年老的人,一生都在漂泊,活得顛沛流離;而年輕的人,好一些的,滿懷希望,執著地追求文化和身份的認同,更多的,沉迷在毒品和網絡的虛幻世界裏醉生夢死。當他們年紀漸長,或許仍將重復自己父輩祖輩的命運。
評分當時看覺得一般,但是後勁很大,總是念念不忘一些畫麵????
評分這樣的敘事完全不能打動我。隻覺得做作。
