Die Frau, die singt

Als der Notar Lebel (Rémy Girard) den Zwillingen Jeanne (Mélissa Désourmeaux-Poulin) und Simon Marwan (Maxim Gaudette) den letzten Willen ihrer Mutter Nawal (Lubna Azabal) eröffnet, sind die beiden bass erstaunt, zwei Umschläge überreicht zu bekommen - einen Brief für ihren Vater, von dem sie glaubten, er sei tot, und einen für ihren Bruder, von dessen Existenz sie überhaupt nichts wussten. Jeanne glaubt, dass in diesem rätselhaften Erbe der Schlüssel zu Nawals Schweigen liegt, in dem sie die letzten fünf Jahre ihres Lebens verbrachte. Sie ist sofort bereit, in den Nahen Osten zu reisen, um die unbekannte Vergangenheit ihrer Mutter zu erkunden. Simon berührt der postume Wille seiner Mutter, die immer kühl und distanziert zu ihm war, nicht. Aber er liebt seine Schwester und begleitet sie in das Land ihrer Vorfahren, auf der Suche nach der Frau Nawal, die so gar nicht ihrer Mutter ähnelt. Mit Hilfe des Notars kommen die Zwillinge der Geschichte der Frau, die sie auf die Welt brachte, auf die Spur und entdecken ihr tragisches, unwiderruflich von Krieg und Hass gezeichnetes Schicksal - und den Mut einer außergewöhnlichen Frau.

Two Brown Dots (eBook, ePUB)

Selected by Aimee Nezhukumatathil as the winner of the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, Danni Quintos carves a space for brown girls and weird girls in her debut collection of poems.

Two Brown Dots explores what it means to be a racially ambiguous, multiethnic, Asian American woman growing up in Kentucky. In stark, honest poems, Quintos recounts the messiness and confusion of being a typical '90s kidwatching Dirty Dancing at sleepovers, borrowing eye shadow out of a friend's caboodle, crushing on a boy wearing khaki shorts to Sunday masswhile navigating the microagressions of the neighbor kids, the awkwardness of puberty, and the casual cruelties of fellow teenagers. The mixed-race daughter of a dark skinned Filipino immigrant, Quintos retells family stories and Phillipine folklore to try and make sense of an identity with roots on opposite sides of the globe.

With clear-eyed candor and a wry sense of humor, Quintos teases the line between tokenism and representation, between assimilation and belonging, offering a potent antidote to the assumption that American means white. Encompassing a whole journey from girlhood to motherhood, Two Brown Dots subverts stereotypes to reclaim agency and pride in the realness and rawness and unprettyness of a brown girl's body, boldly declaring: We exist, we belong, we are from here, and we will continue to be.
