迈克尔•普林兹奖获得者
★“A S King的叙事关注的是种族主义、父权制、殖民主义、白人特权，以及延续这些特权的根深蒂固的制度……《DIG》将对这一代年轻人进行深刻的演讲，他们正清醒地认识到过去的社会罪恶，并为一个更加公平的未来而努力”- Horn Book，星评
““我从来都不理解那些不承认自己是白人的白人。我的意思是，白色不仅仅是一种颜色。也许这就是他们的问题所在。白色是护照。这是一张票。””
五个疏远的表亲迷失在他们家庭纠结的秘密迷宫中。他们的祖父母曾是种土豆的农民，戈特弗里德(Gottfried)和玛拉•海明斯(Marla Hemmings)成功地用挖土豆来换得了发展中的分支机构，现在他们坐拥一个百万美元的银行账户——他们拒绝将其财富转嫁给成年子女或五个少年孙辈。“因为我们希望他们茁壮成长，”玛拉总是这样说。
但是对于Hemmings的表亲来说，“茁壮成长”感觉就像是他们从出生那一刻开始就慢慢死于毒药一样。随着海明斯白人郊区体面外表下的腐烂从内部摧毁了整个家庭，堂兄们又找到了彼此的相处之道，并及时揭露了维持家族姓氏的巨大代价。
凭借其独特的超现实主义精神，获奖作家AS King揭示了礼貌至上的白人化是如何拆散一个家庭的，以及一代人是如何下定决心走出困境的。
Winner of the Michael L. Printz Medal
★“King’s narrative concerns are racism, patriarchy, colonialism, white privilege, and the ingrained systems that perpetuate them. . . . [Dig] will speak profoundly to a generation of young people who are waking up to the societal sins of the past and working toward a more equitable future.”—Horn Book, starred review
“I’ve never understood white people who can’t admit they’re white. I mean, white isn’t just a color. And maybe that’s the problem for them. White is a passport. It’s a ticket.”
Five estranged cousins are lost in a maze of their family’s tangled secrets. Their grandparents, former potato farmers Gottfried and Marla Hemmings, managed to trade digging spuds for developing subdivisions and now they sit atop a million-dollar bank account—wealth they’ve refused to pass on to their adult children or their five teenage grandchildren. “Because we want them to thrive,” Marla always says.
But for the Hemmings cousins, “thriving” feels a lot like slowly dying of a poison they started taking the moment they were born. As the rot beneath the surface of the Hemmings’ white suburban respectability destroys the family from within, the cousins find their ways back to one another, just in time to uncover the terrible cost of maintaining the family name.
With her inimitable surrealism, award winner A.S. King exposes how a toxic culture of polite white supremacy tears a family apart and how one determined generation can dig its way out.
