"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.
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。
評分單位book club選書,大傢一緻認為,即使在高喊著diversity & inclusion的“美左”群體中,印第安曆史和文化也是一個被忽略的方麵。There there不僅講述瞭印第安種族的曆史之痛,描述瞭這個異常邊緣化的群體今天的尷尬處境,更是探討瞭經過諸多變遷之後該如何守護自己的身份認同感。
評分作者說話太繞瞭,還喜歡用第二人稱。人物多且雜。讀到最後我都忘瞭之前這個人做過什麼。一個說話繞的例子:But then he sees people run and stumble and drop and scream and generally lose their shit because soon , very soon , after what he at first thought must have been something else and not gunfire became in his mind and before his eyes definite gunfire.
評分It's one of those books where everyone's life comes together in some Babel (the movie)-esque way 喪的很真實 文字有些平鋪直敘但是真情實感 不過還是有些難共情 所以總是拿起又放下
