LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION and the 2023 Booker Prize. 'Kaleidoscopic, urgent, hilarious, revelatory' MARLON JAMES 'An absolute delight to read' DIANA EVANS 'Superb … A strong, much needed new voice in our literature' PERCIVAL EVERETT 'A compelling hurricane of a book' ANN PATCHETT LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION A major debut that follows a Jamaican family in Miami navigating recession, racism and Hurricane Andrew. 1979. Topper and Sanya flee to Miami as political violence consumes their native Kingston. But they soon learn that the welcome in America will be far from warm. Trelawny, their youngest son, comes of age in a society which regards him with suspicion, greeting him with the puzzled question ‘What are you?’ Their eldest son Delano’s longing for a better future for his own children is equalled only by his recklessness in trying to secure it. As both brothers navigate the obstacles littered in their path – an unreliable father, racism, a financial crisis and Hurricane Andrew – they find themselves increasingly pitted against one another. Will their rivalry be the thing that finally tears their family apart? If I Survive You pulses with inimitable style, heart and barbed humour while unravelling what it means to carve out an existence between cultures, homes and pay checks. It announces Jonathan Escoffery as a chronicler of life at its most gruesome and hopeful.

Jonathan Escoffery's "If I Survive You" is a compelling collection of interconnected stories that delve into the complexities of identity, immigration, and family dynamics. Escoffery's narrative is both poignant and humorous, painting a vivid picture of the protagonists' struggles and resilience. Each story is richly layered, offering fresh perspectives on the themes of belonging and survival. This book has left a lasting impression on me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a deeply moving and thought-provoking read.

If I survive You.
This is the first book, I have read by any Jamaican writer.
Topper, a nugatory and unskillful son of the wealthy and well-connected building contractor in Kingston flees with his wife and a newborn son to Miami, USA, citing civil war in his country as an excuse. Once in that fictitious, hallucinatory and camouflaged country, he understands that drudgery and donkey work is the only real passport to survive there.
Another thing is that you try to find out about your identity lifelong even up to the second generation and people don't lose any chance to poke fun at your lineage.
Very nicely written short stories revolving round Topper’s family.
A good chance for Bookers 2023.

5,0 van 5 sterren Masculinity, identity and subtle humour - a lovely book
Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 5 november 2023
Geverifieerde aankoop
If I Survive You tells the story of Trelawney, his brother Delano and his father Topper, as they try to make a life in Miami, and in some cases escape it. The family's life is marked by hurricanes, whether real, imagined or just-avoided, with Hurricane Andrew creating a rupture in the 'before and after' of their lives.

Trelawney struggles with his identity as a child and suffers through an adolescence and young adulthood full of microaggressions, topped off by graduating into the recession and sleeping in his car while training as a teacher in his lunch hours.

Blue-eyed boy Delano (literally; he has his father's distinctive eyes) has it easier at first, reaping the benefits of being his father's favourite until the economic crisis also begins to bite at his arborist job and side-hustle in a reggae cover band.

You find yourself rooting for these dysfunctional brothers, their strong mother Sanya and even their far-from-perfect dad, whose story is told a third of the way through the book. Even if slightly lacking the momentum of a traditional novel, the writing was so good it was hard to put down.

4,0 van 5 sterren Humorous, heartbreaking, even shocking at times
Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 18 september 2023
Geverifieerde aankoop
A collection of eight interconnected stories published separately in different outlets and compiled in novel format for the first time, If I Survive You is a kaleidoscopic, tragicomic slice of life of the Jamaican family formed by Christopher, Sanya and Delano, four decades since they fled Jamaica in the early 1980s and settled in the Miami area where there’s a thriving community of Jamaicans expats. Four of the stories— In Flux, Odd Jobs, Independent Living, and If I Survive You— focus on the coming of age of the younger son, Trelawney, who was born in the U.S., and therefore finds himself in limbo between his Jamaican heritage and his American identity. What’s more, since the family has light skin and 50+% European ancestry, their children have to navigate their not quite obvious racial identity in a world that cries for definitions and labels. Defying narrative and grammatical constraints, the remaining stories—Under the Ackee Tree, Pestilence, Splashdown, and If He Suspected He’d Get Someone Killed This Morning, Delano Would Never Leave His Couch — focus on Christopher’s (father), Delano’s (older son), and Cukie Panton’s (cousin) journeys.

These, at times incredibly humorous, at other times heartbreaking, even shocking stories revolve around themes of inheritance, identity, race/racism, parenthood, the Jamaican diaspora, homelessness, and family dynamics. Together with The Bee Sting, this is my favorite Booker longlisted book I have read this year. It gets a very enthusiastic four stars from me.

There are 8 stories in this book, all of them are interlinked and are non-linear. Some stories are amazing which compells you to think about the society, racism and the situation of the family. The craft of some stories are distinguished from others, the language may seem different. Many words are new,writing style is also slightly diifferent. many characters enters in the story with the new situations.
