Greetings from Bury Park

內容簡介

內容簡介 電影《炫目之光》原著、向歌手BruceSpringsteen致敬的感人之作！ 1974年，當時才2歲大的Sarfraz和家人一起從巴基斯坦移民到英國的一個郊區小鎮，過了十幾年，正值青春期的Sarfraz把時間都花在鬥爭上，想要為自己既為英國人卻又不能忽視巴基斯坦血統的身分找到一個說法。 直到好友將有「工人皇帝」的歌手Bruce Springsteen介紹給Sarfraz，16歲那年，當他聽到Springsteen的名曲〈The River〉的第一句歌詞和和弦之後，他的世界徹底改變，音樂為他揭開了另一世界的帷幕，Springsteen也成了他未來日子的指標，人生露出了一道曙光。 電影《炫目之作》於2019年在日舞影展首映，獲得了當場觀眾的一致好評，原著也同樣受到注目，其中不僅訴說音樂強大的感染力，更是將移民的身分認同、青少年的掙扎等寫得絲絲入扣，是難得一見的精彩作品。Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when his family emigrated from Pakistan to join his father in Bury Park, Luton. His teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim. But when his best friend introduced him to Bruce Springsteen, his life changed for ever. In this affectionate and timely memoir, Manzoor retraces his journey from the frustrations of his childhood to his reaction to the tragedies of 9 11 and 7 7.Original, darkly tender and wryly amusing, this is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion and a moving account of a relationship between father and son.
