当时因为是比尔盖茨推荐书单,就去图书馆借来看了。漫画,读的很快。我没有那么特别喜欢,更喜欢同体裁的柬埔寨裔美籍的那个女作家的回忆录和华裔的那本the joy luck club
评分Beautiful
评分被大历史裹挟的家庭史和个人史。战争就像是书里爸爸的grandmother患上的肺结核,或多或少或浅或深地在爸爸的肺上刻下阴影,战争也是棋盘对决,只是我们每个人无力渺小到甚至算不上棋盘上的一兵一卒,只能被拍打和揉捏,被塑造成现在的样子。开篇新生儿的出生,使作者开始了解并重构越战史及其父母的成长史,他们的颠沛流离、悲欢离合和挣扎求生,直至理解父母执拗的性格,并体会家庭的意义,这个时候,总在声称没有准备好的作者,才是真正地成为了一个"grown—up"。最后的最后,新生儿长成了自由独立的十岁男孩,没有战争与缺失,甚至没有父亲或母亲的影子,我想这也许就是父母struggle的理由,以及作者寻求的答案了,也没有什么比这更好的了。
评分对 refugee 问题有了新认识。原来越南人到美加法的故事是这样的。真·boat ppl

Thi Bui was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States as a child. She studied art and law and thought about becoming a civil rights lawyer, but became a public school teacher instead. Bui lives in Berkeley, California, with her son, her husband, and her mother. The Best We Could Do is her debut graphic novel.
An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam from debut author Thi Bui.
This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.
At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.
In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.
