书籍介绍
这是一个关于“背叛”与“自救”如何共存的故事。少年朱尼尔做出了一个让Reservation上所有人都觉得被冒犯的决定——离开部落、转学进一所全白人的高中。他背叛了从小鄙视他的贫穷，也背叛了把他焊死在“印第安人注定贫穷”这个怪圈里的宿命。作者没有把苦难写成励志鸡汤：贫穷不会教人坚韧，只会教人如何继续贫穷。真正打动人的，是他一边被白人同学羞辱、被自己人指责“叛徒”，一边仍固执地相信“一块好鸡肉也能让人相信上帝的存在”。它适合那些愿意直面“尊严如何被系统性剥夺”的读者，也适合正在经历自我撕裂、必须在两个世界之间做出选择的人。

精彩摘录
- "It sucks to be poor, and it sucks to feel that you somehow deserve to be poor. You start believing that you're poor because you're stupid and ugly. And then you start believing that you're stupid and ugly because you're Indian. And because you're Indian you start believing you're destined to be poor"
- "But the IndianHealth Service funded major dental work only once a year, so I had to have all ten extra teeth pulled in one day."
- "our white dentist believed that Indians only felt half as much pain as white people did, so he only gave us half the Novocain."
- "They call me retard when they are pantsing me or stuffing my head in the toilet or just smacking me upside the head."
- "Nobody can do that, not even the hungriest magician in the world."
- "A good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God."
- "They dreamed about being something other than poor, but they never got the chance to be anything because nobody paid attention to their dreams."
- "It's an ugly circle and there's nothing you can do about it."
用户评论
在Daily Deal里看到这本书被分在十一到十三岁推荐阅读这档，第一想法就是不太科学，虽然。。但。。之后转念一想自己十二三岁。。嗯。。
令人动容的半传记，但在辛酸的故事里也透漏着令人捧腹的幽默。另外，插图画得非常棒非常传神~想了解印第安文化的都应该看这本书~
像听了一场脱口秀。
【2016.3标注想读】有泪水，有无奈，有爆笑，也有振奋，激情，友谊，美好，这是一个男孩的成长史，一个印第安少年的无畏冒险。
青春期男孩子的内心独白。从来没有经历过，听着新鲜。
There is another world, but it is in this one./ What you pawn I will redeem.
Indians are refrained in the Rev where no hope or dream is allowed. Most of them deem the alcohol as an escape from the mundane life. The poverty and hopelessness are miserably inherited from a generation to another. Though the exploration on the theme is far from satisfition, it is still a worth reading book considering the indigeous culture.
一个印第安男孩决定去一所白人学校。族人觉得他背叛，白人同学把他当异类。从青少年的视角 写出辛酸自嘲又带着几分幽默和希望的真实。
谢谢您 Mackenzie
不错，直到读完之前，我一直以为这是一本真的传记。类似于Educated, 或者Hillbilly Eulogy, 结果发现是本小说。文字可能是模仿日记，特别口语，特别简单，不过挺幽默的
