Flashlight. Una torcia nella notte
Un uomo e una bambina, sedotti dalla calma del mare, si spingono troppo in là sul frangiflutti senza alcuna illuminazione, scivolano e cadono in acqua. O qualcuno scivola e qualcuno cade. È una notte d'estate. Louisa ha dieci anni e sta camminando sulla spiaggia ormai buia assieme al padre. L'uomo ha con sé una torcia elettrica e non sa nuotare. Qualche ora dopo, Louisa viene ritrovata a riva, restituita dalla marea, in fin di vita. Del padre nessuna traccia. La bambina è l'unica figlia di due genitori che hanno reciso ogni legame con il passato. Suo padre, Serk, coreano nato e cresciuto in Giappone, ha perso i contatti con i propri cari quando questi, sedotti dalle promesse della Pyongyang del dopoguerra, hanno scelto di trasferirsi in Corea del Nord. Sua madre, Anne, americana, ha rotto con la famiglia d'origine dopo il più scontato degli "errori di gioventù". E poi c'è Tobias, il figlio che Anne ha avuto da ragazza e dato in adozione, ricomparso all'improvviso. Attraverso capitoli che danno voce, a turno, ai diversi protagonisti, questo romanzo affascinante e sorprendente ripercorre le onde lunghe del trauma che ha travolto una famiglia, ritornando in maniera ossessiva a quella notte in riva al mare. Cosa è successo davvero a Serk? Perché poco prima di scomparire aveva portato Louisa e sua madre proprio lì, in Giappone? E come possiamo amare, o dare un senso alle nostre vite, quando così tante verità rimangono nascoste? Un romanzo che insegue la scomparsa di un padre attraverso il tempo, i confini geografici e i labirinti della memoria, ed è insieme commovente vicenda familiare e lucida indagine sulla diaspora coreana. Finalista al Booker Prize 2025 e candidato al National Book Award.

Leuchtzeichen
'So herzzerreißend, kaum auszuhalten.'NY Magazine Ein Mädchen am Strand, ein Licht im Dunkeln - und ein Vater, der nie zurückkehrt. Als die zehnjährige Louisa nach einem Spaziergang mit ihrem Vater allein an der Westküste Japans entdeckt wird, scheint zunächst festzustehen: Serk ist ertrunken. Louisa und ihre Mutter Anne werden Jahre und Jahrzehnte brauchen, um die Geschichte des Vaters zu ergründen und ihn wiederzufinden. Als Sohn koreanischer Flüchtlinge in Japan aufgewachsen, setzte Serk alles daran, seine Herkunft hinter sich zu lassen und sich in Amerika ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Bis die Vergangenheit ihn einholt und seine Familie zerreißt. Susan Choi entfaltet ein Panorama schmerzlich-zarter Erinnerungen, Verluste und Verbundenheit - ein meisterhaft komponierter literarischer Roman.
