Teeming with life and crackling with energy - a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood
Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years.
Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
'A daring evocation of black British history... Sexy, punchy [and] fresh' Independent on Sunday on The Emperor's Babe
Bernardine Evaristo is a British writer, born in Woolwich, south east London to an English mother and Nigerian father. She has written novels in various mixes of prose and poetry; she has also written poems, radio plays, and theatre plays. Among her other honours, The Emperor's Babe was chosen as one of the Times' "100 Best Books of the Decade" and Evaristo was named a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for being "a major voice in the multicultural panorama of British literature".
看到了两个句号。
评分tried to read, got bored easily tho.
评分三星半。跟阿特伍德的《使女》续篇并列了19年布克奖的一本——前者在我关注的booktuber里反响平平,这本好像更被认为实至名归些。这本的结构我很喜欢:12个故事的主角分别是以不同方式(母女、伙伴、校友、主仆等等)相关联的非裔英国人(身份从初代移民和白手起家的话剧导演到出身底层的投行从业者和20出头的3个孩子的单亲妈妈不等),绝大部分是女性,而这12个故事就像他们各自的小传,而其余的11个人可能不自知地就成了这些小传中的配角。作者的意图很明确:展现英国非裔的多元化和他们(尤其是)女性必经的挑战和挣扎——而且前2/3是值得打四星的。但后1/3逐渐让人有种“tick boxes”的感觉,不是说哪一个群体应该被略过,但读起来难免有罗列的感觉。终章也因为这种可预期性而失掉了节日感。
评分非常简单的一个个视角、小故事串联起来,但真是写到心里去了。最喜欢的是奶奶们、清洁工们、古板的老教师们、非洲妈妈们,把往往是背景的人们翻出来写,满满的社会理论但比任何理论书都敲打人心。当然核心是the politics, our politics, feminism at its becoming,与生存、生活、爱和对幸福的追求交织
评分每个人都有自己的故事,肤色和种族不能定义我们。人生很精彩,努力争取活出自己想要的人生。有个人生挚友是多么幸福的事。
