A novel written by a veteran of the war in Iraq, The Yellow Birds is the harrowing story of two young soldiers trying to stay alive.

"The war tried to kill us in the spring." So begins this powerful account of friendship and loss. In Al Tafar, Iraq, twenty-one-year old Private Bartle and eighteen-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. Bound together since basic training when Bartle makes a promise to bring Murphy safely home, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for.

In the endless days that follow, the two young soldiers do everything to protect each other from the forces that press in on every side: the insurgents, physical fatigue, and the mental stress that comes from constant danger. As reality begins to blur into a hazy nightmare, Murphy becomes increasingly unmoored from the world around him and Bartle takes actions he could never have imagined.

With profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home, The Yellow Birds is a groundbreaking novel that is destined to become a classic.

第一次见到战争小说以这样的角度展开,在简单的战争背景之下,但是恰恰在这个层面上,军人的神韵得到了充分的展开,每一个人物都是那么的鲜活感人,特别是主角的执着倔强。整个过程都是眼睛湿润着看完的,故事很好的把那个年代军人的那种执着和真实情感表现的很感人。他们的处境...

溯流而上,战争的疯狂把人物塑造成不同的模样,恐惧越深,越接近精神世界的尽头,总而言之,深刻的寓意,宏大的场面,再加上震撼人心的观后感,使得《黄鸟》真正成为了一部登峰造极的战争史诗小说。即使对不喜好的战争题材,我也感受到了作家的用心和对人性的品味。这一点上,...

作者用柔情来记录残酷的战争,用冷静来叙述疯狂的战争。他告诉我们人性本善。斯特林跟巴特尔、默夫说“你们俩是我的人了”,我愿意相信这个时候斯特尔在心底用了百分百的承诺,对他们会做尽可能的保护;巴特尔一直羞于自己的不敢承担,但被突如其来的炮弹波冲击间歇喊出口地却...

充满人性的战争反思

评分

作者在书中以第一人称Bart分两条时间线叙述在伊拉克战争时和休假及退役后的生活。两个年轻人Bart21岁,Murph18岁,都为生存而战,详细的描述了他们在伊拉克作战的艰苦环境。战争是可怕的,军人也有权害怕,他们曾说宁愿美国马上投降,只希望自己远离这一切,这是人之常情。在战争中经常会看到战友死去,大多时候是听说某连死去了一个人,觉得很遥远,而当一个人死在M身旁时一切都变了,M心理极度恐惧与厌恶战争,尤其是当那个女医生也被炸死时,他彻底“死去”,裸奔出军营,最后被伊拉克人们残忍杀害,Bart找到他时隐瞒了这些,将他的尸体抛入河中。M的妈妈坚持要求真相,B被调查,为他就那么替她做了决定而付出牢狱1000多天的代价。B从战争中回来时,经历了很久封闭的生活,一直在逃避,战争对人的心理创伤是多么大啊

评分

我的同学里面有两位是我知道从阿富汗战场上回来的陆军,其中一位是拆弹部队的,服役8年,还有一位好像是sniper。我跟他们都不熟,他们平时笑的时候跟普通人没有什么区别,但是偶尔安静的时候,会露出那种作者Powers的神情,那是一种不可言喻的悲伤绝望,带着可怕的冷静甚至无所谓的漠然。

评分

战争是残酷的,对于军人的心理创伤常人无法想象。可惜的是军人为了国家的牺牲往往只是源于politician的贪婪。

评分

一本写得很用力、也很富有感染力的小说,但不难见出美国创意写作教学的痕迹。去年是Tea Obreht's The Tiger's Wife,今年是Kevin Powers's The Yellow Birds,美国出版界这两年对新作家的力捧有点歇斯底里。
