具體描述

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.

##2021.11.20 讀的時候好幾次都眼眶濕潤。本質上探討的是如何做孩子、做父母、如何麵對自己的生命和與他人的聯結這樣的問題。而越南曆史的部分讓人心碎,然而我們的曆史中又有那麼多相似的地方。

##越南移民傢族史 個人與傢庭 母女關係 紐帶/在kindle上看的 一直以為就是黑白的????而且字特小貼著屏幕看完的????Kindle什麼時候能調整繪本大小啊

##2020讀完的第一本書。錶麵是一個二代移民尋根的故事,核心則是思考父母與子女的關係。是什麼塑造瞭我們的父母? 又是什麼經過血脈傳承瞭下來? 當我們為人父母時,又當如何麵對這份遺産?

評分

##補評,越南移民實錄,一部記述大時代下小人物的移民變遷史。與一般作品所展現的二代移民經歷culture shock以及自我身份認同的掙紮不同,Thi Bui更多側重於描繪父輩移民前在國內的故事以及社會變革。在經歷與親人的離別,革命與戰爭帶來的痛苦,以及後來到瞭馬來西亞的refugee camp再到後來的美國,用生動鮮活方式再現瞭當代移民的歷史碎片,不少場景令人印象深刻。

##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。
