The Best We Could Do pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
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.

评分##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扎不同,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,以及後來到了馬來西亞的refugee camp再到後來的美國,用生動鮮活方式再現了當代移民的歷史碎片,不少場景令人印象深刻。

评分这是我阅读的第一部图像小说 如果说多年前记忆犹新的饶平如老先生绘制的《平如美棠》未可归为此类~ 近期对移民主题小说和图像小说很感兴趣,也收藏了《我在伊朗长大》和《切尔诺贝利之春》以及俄罗斯历史的《家族往事》~ 正好仍旧忙碌碌的炎热7 月,这本没有繁多文字没有沉重...
