Small Boat
Small Boat
• Shortlisted for The International Booker Prize 2005
• Winner of English Pen Award
In November 2021, an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the United Kingdom capsized in the Channel causing the death 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, all but two of the migrants had died. The narrator of Delecroix’s fictional account of the events is the woman who took the calls. Accused of failing in her duty, she refuses to be held more responsible than others for this disaster. Why should she be more responsible than the sea, than the war, than the crises behind these tragedies? A shocking, moral tale of our times, Small Boat reminds us of the power of fiction to illuminate our darkest crimes.

O carte despre care am aflat de pe bookstagram, pe care nu as fi ales-o de la raft fara prezentarea foarte interesanta. Este despre empatie, vina colectiva, si aceasta obisnuinta a societatii de a alege o victima pe care sa o putem judeca colectiv, pentru a trece cu vederea faptul ca suntem cu totii responsabili si in egala masura de vinovati pentru multe dintre atrocitatile contemporane. O lectura extrem de interesanta pentru mine, ceva ce m-a scos din lecturile tipice, o carte care te pune pe ganduri, o recomand.
