內容簡介

《我們從未擁有的一切》


本書出自美國國家圖書獎決選作品《Patron Saints of Nothin》作者之手,
一部情感深刻、感人至深的小說,描繪四代菲律賓裔美籍男孩在身份與文化認同,以及親子關係中掙扎的故事。


1930年,加州沃森維爾
法蘭西斯科・馬哈波(Francisco Maghabol)在加州田地裡辛苦謀生,僅靠微薄工資勉強過活。
他把辛苦賺來的錢花在舞廳裡,卻也日益面對白人男性的暴力與敵意。
他開始懷疑,當初離開菲律賓是否是個錯誤。

1965年,史塔克頓
艾米爾(Emil)在學校飽受白人學生與教師的偏見,晚上則在姑媽的餐廳打工。
他拒絕走上父親法蘭西斯科——那位勞工運動家的道路。
他決心要在這個國家闖出自己的一片天,不管得犧牲什麼、離開誰。

1983年,丹佛
克里斯(Chris)一心想證明自己不會被強勢父親艾米爾控制。
然而,當他因為錯過一份「祖先歷史」作業而被踢出美式足球隊,只好進圖書館補交,卻意外激起他對菲律賓歷史的興趣——
儘管他的父親斥之為「不夠美國、不重要」。

2020年,費城
在全球疫情爆發的同時,安佐(Enzo)努力控制自己的焦慮情緒,又要適應個性強硬的祖父搬來同住。
儘管父親與Lolo(爺爺)艾米爾之間劍拔弩張,安佐每天與爺爺的散步交流,卻讓他開始思考:或許他能成為彌補三代裂痕的那個人。


本書以多重視角展開,如同精巧的俄羅斯套娃,每一位馬哈波男孩都在龐大的家庭與社會期望下,走出屬於自己的路。
他們將缺陷、價值觀與信念一代代傳遞,直到最後由安佐來思索:他是否能將這些支離破碎的記憶與情感編織起來,成為連結四代男性的橋樑。


From the author of the National Book Award finalist Patron Saints of Nothing comes an emotionally charged, moving novel about four generations of Filipino American boys grappling with identity, masculinity, and their fraught father-son relationships.


Watsonville, 1930. Francisco Maghabol barely ekes out a living in the fields of California. As he spends what little money he earns at dance halls and faces increasing violence from white men in town, Francisco wonders if he should’ve never left the Philippines.

Stockton, 1965. Between school days full of prejudice from white students and teachers and night shifts working at his aunt’s restaurant, Emil refuses to follow in the footsteps of his labor organizer father, Francisco. He’s going to make it in this country no matter what or who he has to leave behind.

Denver, 1983. Chris is determined to prove that his overbearing father, Emil, can’t control him. However, when a missed assignment on “ancestral history” sends Chris off the football team and into the library, he discovers a desire to know more about Filipino history―even if his father dismisses his interest as unamerican and unimportant.

Philadelphia, 2020. Enzo struggles to keep his anxiety in check as a global pandemic breaks out and his abrasive grandfather moves in. While tensions are high between his dad and his lolo, Enzo’s daily walks with Lolo Emil have him wondering if maybe he can help bridge their decades-long rift.

Told in multiple perspectives, Everything We Never Had unfolds like a beautifully crafted nesting doll, where each Maghabol boy forges his own path amid heavy family and societal expectations, passing down his flaws, values, and virtues to the next generation, until it’s up to Enzo to see how he can braid all these strands and men together.

各界推薦

★ “[An] emotionally resonant tale…Compact storytelling richly layered with Filipino American culture and history provides the backdrop for each father-son relationship as the Maghabols confront personal and familial expectations in both past and present narratives.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "Told in alternating viewpoints, this strongly characterized novel covers the boys’ struggles with identity against the backdrop of changes in American society. The many heartwarming and heartbreaking moments offer deep insights into intergenerational patterns and how one’s life experiences and upbringing affect parenting and relationships….A powerful and moving family saga."
— Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ “Entwined and exquisite like a taut braid, the narrative expertly weaves the lives of these fathers and sons into a powerful family drama centered on one family's Filipino American experience. Even more impressive than Ribay’s ability to balance four separate point-of-view characters is the way the story immerses the reader in each character’s time period…Ribay vividly and honestly brings these settings to life so the reader can better understand how the characters’ worlds shape them.”
– Booklist, starred review
