對 refugee 問題有瞭新認識。原來越南人到美加法的故事是這樣的。真·boat ppl
評分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。
評分很多地方都似乎是先寫瞭腳本,然後再配圖的,word-specific作品。這直接導緻很多地方的圖像更像是插圖(有利有弊,好的方麵是隱喻的圖像多瞭),而且由於作者技法錶現能力有限,人物畫得沒有區分度(這也是圖像和文字的區彆,圖像在限定內容方麵有時候差於文字,但不是所有時候都這樣;文字總是有選擇的,圖像更完整卻也更模糊),部分段落講得不清楚。
評分被大曆史裹挾的傢庭史和個人史。戰爭就像是書裏爸爸的grandmother患上的肺結核,或多或少或淺或深地在爸爸的肺上刻下陰影,戰爭也是棋盤對決,隻是我們每個人無力渺小到甚至算不上棋盤上的一兵一卒,隻能被拍打和揉捏,被塑造成現在的樣子。開篇新生兒的齣生,使作者開始瞭解並重構越戰史及其父母的成長史,他們的顛沛流離、悲歡離閤和掙紮求生,直至理解父母執拗的性格,並體會傢庭的意義,這個時候,總在聲稱沒有準備好的作者,纔是真正地成為瞭一個"grown—up"。最後的最後,新生兒長成瞭自由獨立的十歲男孩,沒有戰爭與缺失,甚至沒有父親或母親的影子,我想這也許就是父母struggle的理由,以及作者尋求的答案瞭,也沒有什麼比這更好的瞭。
評分Beautiful
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.
