\"\"<\/a>Na Stephen Cox. Vitabu vya Jo Fletcher, 2019. Kurasa 496. $ 26.99 \/ jalada gumu; $ 15.92 \/ karatasi; $3.99\/Kitabu pepe. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Riwaya hii ina kila kitu kidogo: mguso wa hadithi za kisayansi, baadhi ya wahusika wanaolenga familia, vuta nikuvute, na mazingira (Marekani ya kiliberali ya kaskazini-mashariki mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1960 na mwanzoni mwa 1970) yanayolingana na mandhari. Wasomaji wengi watapata hadithi rahisi kufuata na wahusika wengi ni rahisi kutambua. Kila mmoja wa wahusika ana jukumu katika familia, au maktaba ya umma, au kituo cha utafiti, au serikali. Wahusika wakuu-mama, baba, mtoto mgeni (Cory), na madaktari wawili (mmoja ”nzuri,” na mmoja anayefanya kazi na FBI na ana uhusiano na NASA) – wameendelezwa kikamilifu zaidi. Wasomaji wa Quaker wanaweza pia kuona taswira ya mwandishi ya wanajeshi kama ”kushinda kwa gharama yoyote” dhidi ya msimamo wa kutotumia nguvu wa mama, Molly. Kuna waliojitokeza sana Joan Baez, Walter Cronkite, Gavana Nelson Rockefeller, na Martin Luther King Jr. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mada zinazoendelea katika hadithi nzima ni pamoja na utakatifu dhaifu wa familia na ndoa na jinsi kutokuwa na hatia kwa mtoto kunaweza kutia tumaini la amani ya siku zijazo. Hofu ya enzi ya Vita vya Vietnam ya Ukomunisti na Urusi (iliyotajwa angalau mara 20), nyimbo na shughuli za maandamano zinazopendwa na wahusika wakuu, na mjadala wa iwapo kuchunguza anga za juu kutawavutia wageni wasio rafiki pia ni mada zinazojirudia. Wakati mwingine uzi wa mada hutupwa kati ya sura, ambazo ni fupi sana. Kisha mandhari inaonekana katika matukio ya sura ya baadaye, ikisaidia kukuza njama au wahusika na kuruhusu dhana kurejelewa mara kadhaa, kama vile wema wasio na hatia wa watoto (kama inavyoonekana katika mtoto mgeni, Cory) na ubatili wa uchokozi wa watu, mataifa, na walimwengu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Riwaya hii, kazi ya kubuni ya kisayansi na wavamizi wageni wanaogonga kwenye kidimbwi nje ya mji mdogo wa mashambani, wa chuo kikuu Kaskazini-mashariki mwa Marekani, ni ya kwanza ya Stephen Cox, ambayo anasema ilianza kama hadithi fupi miaka mitano mapema. Ingawa Cox, ambaye ni Quaker, anaishi London na kitabu kilichapishwa kwa mara ya kwanza huko Uingereza, alizaliwa katika Marekani ya wazazi wa Uingereza. Nitamsamehe kwa minyoo ya masikio aliyompa msomaji huyu pamoja na majina ya nyimbo kama vile \u201cKwaheri Angelina,\u201d \u201cAcha! Kwa Jina la Upendo,\u201d \u201cPuff, the Magic Dragon,\u201d na \u201cThe Age of Aquarius\u201d ili kuthibitisha mpangilio na sauti ya kitabu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hadithi hii inatofautiana na kazi za awali zilizolenga wageni kama vile filamu ya 1982<\/span>
\n ET the Extra-Terrestrial<\/span>
\n<\/i> kwa sababu mgeni, Cory, sio tu ni mtoto asiye na hatia bali amejikita ndani na kuguswa na familia ya jadi ya wazazi wawili ya miaka ya 1960\u201370 enzi ya Woodstock. Mwisho wa hadithi pia haukutarajiwa: uovu ni halisi, na sio kila mtu anaishi kwa furaha milele. <\/span><\/p>\n
