We meet him late in life: a quiet man, a good father and husband, a fixture in his Brooklyn neighborhood, a landlord and barber with a terrifying scar across his face. As the book unfolds, moving seamlessly between Haiti in the 1960s and New York City today, we enter the lives of those around him, and learn that he has also kept a vital, dangerous secret. Edwidge Danticat' s brilliant exploration of the " dew breaker" --or torturer--s an unforgettable story of love, remorse, and hope; of personal and political rebellions; and of the compromises we make to move beyond the most intimate brushes with history. It firmly establishes her as one of America' s most essential writers.

评分The book is amazing!
评分The book is amazing!
评分若干碎片式的短篇，以受害者、妻子、女儿、遗孤等多人角度展现了一个逃到新大陆的海地杀手（即dew breaker）的人生故事。不同于以施害者为主角的长篇，短篇合集拒绝提供浸入式体验，以防读者对施害者产生同情，由此看来，这是一本立场坚定的书：批判暴行，并暗示移民父母与子女之间的巨大鸿沟。然而，人物大多缄默、隐忍，略带神秘主义色彩，并非可爱且印象深刻的人物。首尾两个故事展现了超凡的叙事能力。
