去越南前要做點功課,我讀瞭這本圖文迴憶錄《盡力而為》(The Best We Could Do),作者是越南裔美國人Thi Bui,寫自己和傢人在越戰結束後,顛沛流離逃到馬來西亞難民營,然後輾轉移民美國投靠親戚,審視自己的身份認同問題以外,還反思戰爭對父母執拗性格的影響。 我讀完想起上個月和父母一起采訪他們的朋友,一群參加1979年中越戰爭的老兵。有位老兵說:“永遠不要輕易說打仗,戰爭能讓一個國傢倒退十年,還應該為受害的人負責餘生。” 受害的人何止活在戰火中的人呢,即便他們飄洋過海過上新生活,心理陰影也還是會籠罩下一代——《盡力而為》作者的父母就好像是第一次世界大戰中的迷惘一代(Lost Generation),這種迷惘感在傢庭中不斷延伸,作者刻畫得很入骨。

評分Love every detail of this book. Such a meaningful reading right after my trip to Chongqing. 今年恰逢婆婆外公金婚紀念,外公八十大壽。上周迴去看瞭好多老照片,對傢裏的曆史非常感興趣。The best we could do這個標題也很有意思,讓我想起瞭他們在曆史節點中的選擇,讓這個傢成為可能,也間接塑造瞭我們。
評分雖然很好,但沒有超齣我期待視閾的一本書。加上亞裔曆史經曆過於相似瞭,其實是可以relatable,但我真的對personal memoir倒嚮sentimental writing style(包括圖畫)懷有偏見。雖然我哭瞭,但不代錶這種我很喜歡。
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.
