وصف الكتاب
Two brown girls dream of being dancers€”but only one, Tracey, has talent. The other has ideas: about rhythm and time, about black bodies and black music, what constitutes a tribe, or makes a person truly free. It's a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either. Tracey makes it to the chorus line but struggles with adult life, while her friend leaves the old neighborhood behind, traveling the world as an assistant to a famous singer, Aimee, observing close up how the one percent live. But when Aimee develops grand philanthropic ambitions, the story moves from London to West Africa, where diaspora tourists travel back in time to find their roots, young men risk their lives to escape into a different future, the women dance just like Tracey€”the same twists, the same shakes€”and the origins of a profound inequality are not a matter of distant history, but a present dance to the music of time.
المراجعة التحريرية
€œThis is a story at once intimate and global, as much about childhood friendship as international aid, as fascinated by the fate of an unemployed single mother as it is by the omnipotence of a world-class singer€¦Smith€™s attention to the grace notes of friendship is as precise as ever€¦€™Swing Time€™ uses its extraordinary breadth and its syncopated structure to turn the issues of race and class in every direction€¦We finally have a big social novel nimble enough to keep all its diverse parts moving gracefully toward a vision of what really matters in this life when the music stops.€€”Ron Charles, Washington Post €œA dance itself, syncopated, unexpected, and vital€¦Swing Time may not parse easily and fits no mold, but it is uncommonly full of life.€ €”Claire Messud, The New York Review of Books €œA multilayered tour-de-force€¦Smith burnishes her place in the literary firmament with her fifth novel€¦The work is so absorbing that a reader might flip it open randomly and be immediately caught up. Its precision is thrilling even as it grows into a book-length meditation on cultural appropriation, played out on a celebrity-besotted global stage€¦Smith€™s novels are set in motion by character, complex portraits that are revelatory of race and class.€€”Karen Long, Los Angeles Times
