商品簡介
Bringing Tony Home takes us on a journey through the Sri Lankan landscapes of Tissa Abeysekara's memory and youth. The collection's title story recounts the near-tragic tale of a young boy who returns to his old home to find Tony, the beloved dog his family abandoned when economic circumstances forced them to leave. Two childhood lovers come together as adults in "Elsewhere; Something Like a Love Story," briefly revisiting the bittersweet events of their forbidden love fifteen years before. "Poor Young Man: A Requiem" presents the boy as a young man trying to make sense of his complex relationship with his father during the years his family's fortunes were disappearing, And in the collection's rich and complex finale, "Hark, The Moaning Pond: A Grandmother's Tale," a much older man revisits the loss of his grandmother and experiences a profound revelation of her place in the history and mythology of her people.
