A young boy lives with his madcap parents, Louise and George, and an exotic bird in a Parisian apartment, where the unopened mail rises in a tower by the door and his parents dance each night to Nina Simone’s mellifluous classic “Mister Bojangles.” As his mother, mesmerizing and unpredictable, descends deeper into her own mind, it is up to the boy and his father to keep her safe—and, when that fails, happy. Fleeing Paris for a country home in Spain, they come to understand that some of the most radiant people bear the heaviest burdens.
Told from the perspective of a young boy who idolizes his parents—and from George’s journals, detailing his epic love story with his wife—Waiting for Bojangles is a “lighthearted and yet sorrowful tale” (San Francisco Chronicle) that will stay with you long after the final page.
批評家のレビュー
“Spirited and graciously zany, Waiting for Bojangles is a passionate love story told through the eyes of a child.”
“The novel is written in partial rhyme… [and] the singsong prose adds to the madcap nature of this lighthearted and yet sorrowful tale.”
“This fanciful love story, fraught with sadness, is a sweet meditation on the more unorthodox gifts that parents leave the children they cherish.”
“A charming tale that revels in colorful detail and language and a heart-rending depiction of the brutal march of mental illness… A unique, evocative debut.”
“At once delightfully whimsical and hugely touching.”
“A very well written story, with a touch of craziness, an awesome rhythm and a libertine use of words. I loved the book, I loved the subject. A wonderful mix of reality and invention. What a terrific book.”
“Bourdeaut tells the story with incredible ease, without falling into the ‘feel good’ trap.”
“A worthy heir of a tradition that includes authors such as Queneau, Prévert and Romain Gary.”
“In this novel, fantasy reigns supreme. The author plunges us into a delightful, joyful, and witty mess.”
“Waiting for Bojangles reads like the love between the family: delightful and overwhelming.”
“This smart and memorable novel about a special family tells a universal story sure to leave an impact on the reader.”
“The author succeeds in capturing the reader with this inspirational and humorous narrative. The poetry is overflowing at every moment.”
“Alternately delightful and melancholic.”
