昨年惜しまれつつ亡くなったエドワード・サイード教授。 私も同教授の数々の著書を読んで、学ぶところ大です。 この本は、パレスチナ人の中に生まれながら「エドワード」と名づけられ、自らのアイデンティティーを求めてさまよい続けた人の物語です。 ただ、一つだけはっきりさせておかねばならないのは、彼の人生は典型的なパレスチナ人の人生とはあまりにもかけ離れている、ということです。 簡単に言えば、多くのパレスチナ人がイスラエルに追放され、難民キャンプで肩を寄せ合い暮らしていた頃、「エドワード」は「ハーバードの修士課程中」の「夏休み」に、「ギリシャ」を旅行していたわけです。 それ自体は悪い事ではないのですが、そういった人でなければパレスチナ人の「語り部」にはなれない、(難民は生きるのに精一杯で勉強したり本を書いたりする暇も余裕もない)というのが、実はパレスチナ人の本当の悲劇なのかもしれません。

So sad we lost this brilliant mind way too soon. This is different from anything else he wrote. It tells the story of his childhood, who he was and where he came from with unbelievable candor.

This is not a new book. When I received the parcel, I found the cover page corner bent and damaged. This is very frustrating, as I expected a brand-new book wrapped in plastic. I had planned to give it as a gift, but now it’s not suitable for that.
