图书描述

From Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo, a landmark work of narrative nonfiction that tells the dramatic and sometimes heartbreaking story of families striving toward a better life in one of the twenty-first century’s great, unequal cities.

In this brilliantly written, fast-paced book, based on three years of uncompromising reporting, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human.

Annawadi is a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport, and as India starts to prosper, Annawadians are electric with hope. Abdul, a reflective and enterprising Muslim teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Asha, a woman of formidable wit and deep scars from a childhood in rural poverty, has identified an alternate route to the middle class: political corruption. With a little luck, her sensitive, beautiful daughter—Annawadi’s “most-everything girl”—will soon become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest Annawadians, like Kalu, a fifteen-year-old scrap-metal thief, believe themselves inching closer to the good lives and good times they call “the full enjoy.”

But then Abdul the garbage sorter is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and a global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power and economic envy turn brutal. As the tenderest individual hopes intersect with the greatest global truths, the true contours of a competitive age are revealed. And so, too, are the imaginations and courage of the people of Annawadi.

With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects human beings to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds, and into the lives of people impossible to forget.

和johns hopkins的教授们吃饭，director推荐了这本书。又因为bully的原因，一定想找来读一下。书写的很美。印度贫民窟也是一个个有血有肉的小世界。看到因为邻居污蔑被逮捕的家人，injustice真是无处不在。幸运的是最终法官还是决定判他们not guilty. 一个本来就贫苦的家因为公平正义的缺失而支离破碎。以为城市化会带动他们，让大多数的人生活更好，但是这好像是一个被遗忘的群体，他们的存在往往被视而不见。不知到怎么可以改变。

was telling a random Indian lady from LA on our bus tour about the book. She commented: Americans like to dig up other people's garbage and write about it. They need to take care of themselves first. There are some hundreds of homeless people in LA. They need to write about that... Me: Word...

在孟买的国际机场对面，有一堵墙，墙上写的是意大利瓷砖的广告词：beautiful forever，beautiful forever。。。而在这座墙和光鲜的广告背后，是巨大的平民窟。这里混杂着来自印度各地，不同种族宗教信仰的人们。几乎所有的人没有固定的工作，仅仅靠拾机场周边的垃圾为生...

虽然印度经济在飞速发展，但贫穷和不公依然笼罩这片土地。在印度最大的城市孟买，有半数以上的居民住在贫民窟。普利策新闻奖得主凯瑟琳·布称其为“地下城”。历时三年半，凯瑟琳停留在安纳瓦迪，聆听不同的人讲述同一个故事，尽可能真实客观地还原贫民窟的故事。故事像小说一...

最早知道Katherine Boo是七八年前读她在《纽约客》上写的The Marriage Cure，那已经是她得普利策奖之后了，顿时对其文笔欣赏之至，从此便想凡她所写之文必读，所以之后又读其The best job in town, The churning等关于印度的文章。但近年来没再关注她，也没听说她的近作，直到...

印度金融中心孟买，与国际机场航站楼入口仅隔一条林荫道，有三千人挤在三百三十五间勉强能称作“房屋”的屋内或屋顶，这里是印度众多贫民窟之一安纳瓦迪——被豪华酒店的大理石建筑包围，由居民临时修建的房屋歪歪斜斜，邻居之间仅隔一面危墙或破布，泥土里的污水散发出刺鼻的...
