Finalist for the 2022 Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize
Elegant, surprising stories about Palestinian immigrants in Canada navigating their identities in circumstances that push them to the emotional brink.
Saeed Teebi’s intense, engrossing stories plunge into the lives of characters grappling with their experiences as Palestinian immigrants to Canada. A doctor teaches his girlfriend about his country, only for her to fall into a consuming obsession with the Middle East conflict. A math professor risks his family’s destruction by slandering the king of a despotic, oil-rich country. A university student invents an imaginary girlfriend to fit in with his callous, womanizing roommates. A lawyer takes on the impossible mission of becoming a body smuggler. A lonely widower travels to Russia in search of a movie starlet he met in his youth in historical Jaffa. A refugee who escaped violent circumstances rebels against the kindness of his sponsor. These taut and compelling stories engage the immigrant experience and reflect the Palestinian diaspora with grace and insight.
Jonny Appleseed Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Joshua Whitehead Arsenal Pulp Press 2018 - 5
"You're gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine" is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer, repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling novel. Off the reserve and trying to find ways to live and love in the big city, Jonny becomes a cybersex worker who fetishizes himself in order to make a living. Self-ordained as an NDN glitter princess, Jonny has one week before he must return to the "rez," and his former life, to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The next seven days are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and the heartbreaking recollection of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny's world is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages--and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams.

秩序的沦陷 豆瓣
7.8 (12 个评分) 作者: [加] 卜正民 译者: 潘敏 商务印书馆 2015 - 10
《秩序的沦陷》为著名汉学家卜正民教授近著,关注的是抗战初期的社会与人。作者选取江南五城(嘉定、镇江、南京、上海、崇明)为例,描述了日军残暴占领城市、试图重建基层机构的过程,并分析地方头面人物与日伪政府的关系交织。“这里有通敌,有抵抗,但两者之外的其他行为要多得多。”借助对这种模糊行为的分析,作者考察了战争时期城市秩序的维持,以及生活其间的个人的心态、处境与选择,以求揭示一个复杂的战时社会。
