وصف الكتاب: FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2019 'A provocative and gripping novel by a gifted writer' JOHN BOYNE 'Remarkable, timely ... Impeccably written' ROXANE GAY 'A deftly constructed account of a crime and its consequences' J.M. COETZEE 'A writer of uncommon conviction and tremendous insight' VIET THANH NGUYEN There wasn't anything I could do. All I saw was a man falling to the ground. Late one spring night, Driss Guerraoui, a Moroccan immigrant in California, is walking across a darkened intersection when he is killed by a speeding car. The repercussions of his death bring together a diverse cast of characters: Guerraoui's daughter Nora, a jazz composer who returns to the small town in the Mojave she thought she'd left for good; his widow Maryam, who still pines after her life in the old country; Efrain, an undocumented witness whose fear of deportation prevents him from coming forward; Jeremy, a former classmate of Nora's and now a veteran of the Iraq war; Coleman, a detective who is slowly discovering her son's secrets; Anderson, a neighbor trying to reconnect with his family; and Driss himself. As the characters - deeply divided by race, religion and class - tell their stories in The Other Americans, Driss's family is forced to confront its secrets, a town faces its hypocrisies and love, in all its messy and unpredictable forms, is born.
المراجعة التحريرية: This deftly constructed account of a crime and its consequences shows up, in its quiet way, the pressures under which ordinary Americans have labored since the events of 9/11 -- J.M. Coetzee The Other Americans is one of the most affecting novels I have read about race and immigration post 9/11. It's a novel that reaches beyond its immediate setting to illuminate more universal themes of loss, alienation and betrayal. Subtle, wise and full of humanity, The Other Americans deserves a wide audience * The Times * A family saga with the suspense of a mystery and, finally, the satisfying resolution of a thriller * Spectator * A rich and mysterious family saga by a Pulitzer Prize-nominated author who always delivers magnificent prose. This story about the death of a Moroccan immigrant explodes into a compelling tale of love, family, race and heartache. Absolutely wonderful -- Elizabeth Gilbert A powerful novel of intolerance and compassion, resilience and weakness, love and loss, populated by flawed but sympathetic characters whose lives are rocked by actions and emotions beyond their control * Economist * Rich, polyphonic ... Accumulates a kind of revelatory power, setting aside top-down commentary in favour of side-by-side juxtaposition, a narrative style that ultimately functions as a plea for more listening * Observer * A moving and exceptionally rich portrait of a modern American community, one that is much more far-reaching than just a saga of immigration * Sunday Times * Confirms Lalami's reputation as one of the most sensitive interrogators, probing at the faultlines in family and the wider world * Financial Times * In gentle and stylish prose, Lalami gives us a picture of life as a Muslim immigrant in the USA, a glimpse of the trauma suffered by veterans of war in the Middle East and an account of family stresses familiar in all cultures and countries. It is a most impressive novel * Literary Review * A wonderfully constructed novel, like a musical piece made up of many voices -- Tim Pears A provocative and gripping novel by a gifted writer -- John Boyne, author of 'A Ladder to the Sky' and 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' A writer of uncommon conviction and tremendous insight -- Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Sympathizer' I'm going to make a prediction, which is dangerous I know, but nonetheless... I predict The Other Americans is going to create a literary storm. Near enough to faultless, this book is a poignant exploration of grief, love, racism and jealousy that will undoubtedly rank as one of the best books of 2019 * Good Reading Magazine * Lalami packs sibling rivalry, a crime investigation, a love story and family secrets into her propulsive plotline ... A masterful and intimate polyphonic narrative -- Ten books to read in 2019 * BBC * A strong successor to her Pulitzer-nominated The Moor's Account, The Other Americans is a study of race in the wake of the War on Terror intertwined deftly with a love story and the dissection of a family dynamic, in which every character, like the young Moroccan acrobats, contributes an essential part of the whole * The Herald * This may be even better than The Moor's Account ... The Other Americans is a combination mystery, love story and literary exploration of immigrants in America -- Nicholas Kristoff * New York Times * Lalami is in thrilling command of her narrative gifts, reminding readers why The Moor's Account was a Pulitzer finalist ... Lalami expertly mines an American penchant for rendering the 'other' * Kirkus Reviews * Unforgettable -- Picks for 2019 * Bustle * Tremendous and powerful, The Moor's Account is one of the finest historical novels I've encountered in a while. It rings with thunder! -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * Gary Shteyngart * A story with extraordinary power. The Moor's Account is more than a good story, it's a great one: rich, vivid and gripping; a thoughtful investigation into how we frame the narratives of our own lives -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * Guardian * Lalami has once again shown why she is one of her generation's most gifted writers -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * Reza Aslan * Lalami has built a remarkable novel -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * Independent * An exciting tale of wild hopes, divided loyalties and highly precarious fortunes -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * New Yorker * Brilliantly imagined -- Praise for 'The Moor's Account' * Salman Rushdie *
