Wild East

Autor Ashley Hickson-Lovence
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2024

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului Wild East de Ashley Hickson-Lovence, o lucrare ce se distinge imediat prin structura sa narativă: este un roman scris integral în versuri. Deși formatul fizic este unul de tip paperback, remarcăm calitatea producției de la Dorling Kindersley - DK, oferind o experiență tactilă plăcută cititorilor tineri. Observăm cum autorul folosește ritmul poeziei pentru a reda tumultul interior al lui Ronny, un adolescent de 14 ani smuls din universul vibrant al Londrei și mutat în liniștitul, dar străinul Norwich. În familia de titluri precum Moods and Moments de J. Lindley Stiles, care explorează universul poetic al tinerilor, Wild East aduce o temă actuală și necesară: integrarea unui tânăr de culoare într-un mediu școlar omogen și descoperirea propriei voci prin arta „spoken word”. Ronny învață că versurile de rap și poezia clasică nu sunt lumi separate, ci punți către auto-exprimare. Stilul este alert, fragmentat ca o piesă muzicală, reflectând sentimentul de a fi „outsider” și efortul de a rămâne fidel propriilor visuri sub presiunea schimbării. Este o lectură despre reziliență emoțională care evită clișeele, oferind în schimb o perspectivă onestă asupra maturizării.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte adolescenților de peste 13-14 ani care caută o poveste despre apartenență. Formatul în versuri face lectura extrem de accesibilă și rapidă, fiind ideală pentru tinerii care preferă ritmul muzicii în locul descrierilor lungi. Cititorul câștigă o lecție valoroasă despre cum pasiunea (în acest caz, muzica și poezia) poate deveni un mecanism de adaptare într-un mediu nou.


Descriere

A thrilling and emotional debut YA novel-in-verse. Perfect for fans of Dean Atta and Manjeet Mann. Pen in one hand, on my wrist, a ticking clock I've got to make this work, just need a little luck... When fourteen-year-old music-lover Ronny's life gets messy, his mum decides they're moving out of London. In Norwich, as a Black teenager in a mostly white school, Ronny feels like a complete outsider. He tries his best to stay out of trouble, and keep his goal of becoming a rapper alive. But when a local poet comes into class, he opens Ronny's world to something new. Rap is like spoken word, lyrics equal poetry - and maybe the combination of both could be the key to Ronny's dreams?

Ashley has also written three adult novels: The 392, Your Show, which was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards, and About To Fall Apart. His poetry collection Why I Am Not a Bus Driver has been shortlisted for the Jhalak Poetry Prize and includes the poem 'Munster Road', highly commended for Best Single Poem at the Forward Prize.
