Book Description
خارطة الوطن: رواية عن الهوية والأسرة والحرب ولدت الروائية العربية الامريكية رندا جرار في سنة ١٩٧٨في مدينة شيكاغوو لكن هي نشات في الكويت مع عائلتها. صدرت روايتها “خارطة الوطن” في ٢٠٠٨, لكن الرواية لاتزال بارزة. في هذه الرواية, جرار تصورحياة بنت صغيرة اسمها نضالي. تكتب جرار القصة من وجها نظر هذه الشخصية الساخرة والمضحكة و الذكية. في بداية الرواية , تعيش نضالي في الكويت مع عائلتها الميسورة و مع ذلك فهي مجنونة. تكتب جرار عن صلات نضالي مع امها و ابيها و ايضا عن العلاقة بين والديها. ام نضالي هي يونانية و مصرية و اباها فلسطيني. هما يحبان بعضهم البعض, ولكنهما يقولا. خلافاتهما تخلق العنف احيانا. تغلب نضالي على هذا العنف بالتركيز على دراستها. نضالي تحترم والديها, ولكنها تريدان تعيش حياتها. حرب الخليج يفرض على الاسرة الهجرة الى الولايات المتحدة. هناك نضالي تجد صراعات تجعل جرار هذه الرواية حول الشباب و الهرية قصة فريدة و معا صرة بسبب صوتها القوي. في عالم ادبي كامل من مذكرات, “خارطة الوطن” هي قصة خيالية كبيرة From America to the Middle East and back again— the sparkling story of one girl’s childhood, by an exciting new voice in literary fiction In this fresh, funny, and fearless debut novel, Randa Jarrar chronicles the coming-of-age of Nidali, one of the most unique and irrepressible narrators in contemporary fiction. Born in 1970s Boston to an Egyptian-Greek mother and a Palestinian father, the rebellious Nidali—whose name is a feminization of the word “struggle”—soon moves to a very different life in Kuwait. There the family leads a mildly eccentric middle-class existence until the Iraqi invasion drives them first to Egypt and then to Texas. This critically acclaimed debut novel is set to capture the hearts of everyone who has ever wondered what their own map of home might look like. Read Randa Jarrar's posts on the Penguin Blog.
