內容簡介
入圍布克國際獎 「一場直擊心靈的小說……《Small Boat》探索了個人的力量,並要求我們思考我們可能為他人帶來的浩劫、我們的冷漠使我們成為共犯的程度——以及我們是否都能做得更好。」——2025 年布克獎評審
這是一部關於悲劇面前共犯關係、獨特且震撼人心的當代寓言。改編自一名法國海軍軍官無視英吉利海峽溺水移民求救信號的真實故事。
2021 年 11 月,一艘載著移民從法國前往英國的充氣艇在英吉利海峽翻覆,造成船上 27 人死亡。儘管接到了無數通求救電話,法國當局卻錯誤地告訴移民他們位於英國海域,必須致電英國當局求助。等到救援船隻在近三小時後抵達現場時,除了兩人外,其餘移民全部遇難,這是該海峽發生過最嚴重的單次生命損失。
文森·德萊克羅瓦備受讚譽的《Small Boat》,是以第一人稱角度虛構描述當時接聽移民電話的法軍海軍軍官——以及她試圖為那不可辯解的行為進行辯護的過程。她被指控失職,但她拒絕承擔比他人、或比這些悲劇背後的危機更多的責任。隨之展開的是對我們人性中最黑暗威脅的一場扣人心弦、發人深省的檢視。
強而有力且令人難以忘懷,《Small Boat》面對了我們時代最困難但重要的道德問題:我們在何種程度上都是共犯?「這本書深刻地挑戰了我。它感動了我,並留在我心中。這不是一本輕鬆讀物——但隨著我們的政治陷入仇恨煽動和得分爭鬥,這是一個需要被講述的必要故事。」——杜娃·黎波(Dua Lipa)
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize
“A gut-punch of a novel…Small Boat explores the power of the individual and asks us to consider the havoc we may cause others, the extent to which our complacency makes us complicit – and whether we could all do better.”
—The 2025 Booker judges
A singular, gut-punching parable for our times about complicity in the face of tragedy, based on the true story of a French navy officer who ignored distress calls from migrants drowning in the English Channel.
In November 2021, an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the UK capsized in the English Channel, causing the deaths of 27 people on board.
Despite receiving numerous calls for help, the French authorities wrongly told the migrants they were in British waters and had to call the British authorities for help. By the time rescue vessels arrived on the scene, nearly three hours later, all but two of the migrants had died, the worst single loss of life ever to occur in the Channel.
Vincent Delecroix’s acclaimed Small Boat is a fictional first-person account of the French navy officer who took the migrants’ calls—and her attempts to justify the indefensible. Accused of failing in her duty, she refuses to be held more responsible than others for this disaster, than the crises behind these tragedies. What unfolds is a gripping, thought-provoking examination of the darkest threat to our humanity.
Powerful, forceful, and haunting, Small Boat confronts the most difficult but important moral questions of our time: to what extent are we all complicit?
"This book challenged me profoundly. It moved me, and stayed with me. It’s not an easy read – but as our politics descend into hate-mongering and point-scoring, it’s an essential story that needs to be told.”— Dua Lipa
