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.

##This book bears an important subject matter and has very beautiful illustrations chronicling the author's family during the turbulent years of the Vietnam War as well as the sacrifices they have made in order to start a new life in another country. However, the problem of this book for me lays with the format, which is limiting and confusing.

##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。

##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。

##目前讀過最好的graphic novel,從成為母親重走自己母親的道路並切身地理解傢庭的含義開始,迴溯自己作為refugee的過往並試圖恢復重構父母的經曆,多視角敘事好評,作為圖像的首尾銜接、結構、漫畫與插畫的混閤運用也經得起推敲,言辭精妙。母親曾經優越而極為不易的為一傢人營生,父親看起來確實廢柴,年輕的時候倒也是一番智勇。更多是在說我們這群boat people的過往如何塑造瞭現在,關注在一個傢庭的變遷史之內,對於越南美國人的集體記憶刻畫不多。最後說迴越南語的時刻印象最深。

##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。
