I am ninja!” So, he’s pretty flexible when it comes to the gender of his potential mates. When Amal mentions that he doesn’t ping on the gaydar, though, TJ says, “I ping all. In fact, it was his singing that woke Amal up from his drunken slumber the morning after they met. TJ’s pretty laidback, and can often be heard singing along to the radio. Interests… rock music, smoking, cracking jokes. Whatever it is, though, it’s left TJ with enough money to pay for a trip from coast to coast, so it must be relatively lucrative. TJ has volunteered to pay for food, gas, and hotels, as long as Amal does the driving. It’s thousands of miles, across some of the country’s most beautiful scenery.

Thus begins novelist Zain Khalid’s debut, Brother Alive, a smooth interleaving of science-fiction with high-resolution realism and hallucinatory phantasmagoria. It is already clear that Brother will be with him for the rest of his life. “Time unwinds and winds.” And with Youssef lurks a still-shadowed presence-first a beetle, then a child, but still somehow neither-which Youssef later names “Brother.” Whatever it, or he, is, this Brother is certainly significant: His name is Youssef’s first word, and this, in turn, is the first thing he has chosen to tell us, here, before the first chapter. It feels like night the words tumble over each other like night. Or near a mosque, at least and the Imam is there. (Later, we learn that the kid’s name is Youssef.) We’re in a mosque, in the kitchen.

When she opened her eyes and saw that she had again missed the tray, she cried. And I remember nights that seemed to last for days, when my mother dropped into a darkness of her own, so deep that I did not think she would ever come back to me. I remember the darkness of that apartment: the brown imitation-wood wall paneling blackened from exhaust from the street, the boarded-up windows, the nights without electricity when we could not pay the bill. I remember my mother drifting in and out of under-the-table jobs-washing dishes in Vietnamese restaurants, slinging drinks in Korean bars on Ke’eaumoku-stringing together enough change to pay the weekly rent on a dirty second-floor apartment off Kapi‘olani Boulevard. She got as far as Hawai’i when-not knowing anyone, broke, and with a young child to care for-my mother had to put me in school and find work. When my father died, leaving us as guests of his most recent employers, at the Miami Mission House for Boys, my mother cashed what was left of his estate-several pieces of family jewelry, pearls mostly, and shares in a retirement village-paid off his hospital bills, and tried to return to Korea.

From Chapter 13: The opening scene is an example, as Rex Fortescue is dying and all the secretaries are running around trying to work out whether to get a doctor or an ambulance and which doctor would be best, etc. There are so many little details and quite comedic scenes too which I had completely forgotten. There was an interview with Sophie Hannah I think it was, on the All About Agatha podcast where she spoke about books you read where you can just feel Christie was enjoying herself while writing them, and I really got the feeling during the reread that this was one of them. I think this has been one of my most enjoyable rereads after The Murder at the Vicarage actually. Well, I have to say I loved rereading this one. |
