具體描述
From the author of In the Country of Men, a Man Booker Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, comes a beautifully written, uplifting memoir of his journey home to his native Libya in search of the truth behind his father’s disappearance.
When Hisham Matar was a nineteen-year-old university student in England, his father was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime’s most prominent opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. “Hope,” as he writes, “is cunning and persistent.”
Twenty-two years later, after the fall of Qaddafi, the prison cells are empty and there is no sign of Jaballa Matar. Hisham returns with his mother and wife to the homeland he never thought he’d go back to again. The Return is the story of what he found there. It is at once an exquisite meditation on history, politics, and art, a brilliant portrait of a nation and a people on the cusp of change, and a disquieting depiction of the brutal legacy of absolute power. Above all, it is a universal tale of loss and love and of one family’s life. Hisham Matar asks the harrowing question: How does one go on living in the face of a loved one’s uncertain fate?
用戶評價
##hisham matar老粉瞭 雖然這本得瞭大奬 還是喜歡他的小說
評分##對政局，動蕩和死亡有思考，但是並沒有引起我這樣一個中國大陸讀者的共鳴。
評分##Had the pain not been so precise I would have asked, to which of my sorrows should I yield.
評分##迴不去也割不斷的傢鄉。離開三十年但一直未曾離開的父親。Hisham Matar的句子如詩，雖是傷痕文學，讀來卻很享受。默默地對班加西的南地中海風情心生好感。
評分##花瞭一天半的時間幾乎是一口氣讀完瞭，What a story... | I wish at least I had some happy man/ as father, growing old in his own house--/ but unknown death and silence are the fate/ of him | 那些無知的人類 何時纔能為惡行懺悔

評分##作者父親的“檔案”被暴政和時間抹去瞭，又在所有認識他的人那裏變成瞭各種故事。一個人的缺席最後在彆人的迴憶裏變成瞭鮮活的存在。如果迴去意味著珍視的過去麵目全非，那麼尋找的意義是什麼。
