LOSING TIM

Book ID/图书代码： 04332813B63194

English Summary/英文概要： Janet’s son Tim was a private contractor in Iraq during the early years of the Iraq War, working under intense pressure to remove land mines in what still remains a war zone. A few months after his transfer to Namibia, he committed suicide—just as his father had done some twenty years before. Written with the emotional candor of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking (Knopf, 2005) LOSING TIM is a powerful reflection on grief and social issues that have been swept under the rug. Janet pulls no punches here: this is at once a memoir of her son’s death, the cost of the war in Iraq, and the unspoken reality of post-traumatic stress.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 珍妮特的儿子提姆在伊拉克战争早期在当地做私人承包，顶着巨大的压力和危险在战区移除地雷。几个星期他转移到了纳米尼亚后，自杀了，就像20年前他爸爸所做的。琼.蒂蒂安的《奇想之年》（2005年）描写了丧夫之痛，情感及其坦诚。而《我儿子提姆的去世》也是这样的题材，对已被人们遗忘的沉痛的社会事件做出了反思。珍妮特在这部作品中也将自己的故事毫无保留地说出：这是关于提姆去世的回忆录，伊拉克战争的代价还有经历创伤后的巨大压力和不为人知的事实。（XAT）
