Description
“As a dissection of the American Dream, Imbolo Mbueâ€s first novel
is savage and compassionate in all the right places.―—The New York
Times “A fresh, engaging entry into the eternally evolving narrative
of what it means to be an American—and how human beings, not laws or
dogma, define liberty.―—Entertainment Weekly “Even as Behold the
Dreamers takes some dark, vicious turns, it never feels cheaply cynical,
grounded as it is in the well-imagined characters who try, through
whatever means possible, to protect their families and better their
lives.―—USA Today “In Imbolo Mbueâ€s sprightly debut . . . songs
of innocence and arrogance collide.―—Vogue “Imagine Lorraine
Hansberryâ€s play/film A Raisin in the Sun with a Cameroonian cast of
characters in early twenty-first century New York City, and you may come
up with something close to Behold the Dreamers, a poignant and
bittersweet debut.―—San Francisco Chronicle“Behold the Dreamers . .
. just might be the most accessible novel Iâ€ve ever read. . . . Mbue
does an admirable job of developing characters whose lives seem so
heartbreakingly real that the pages of this book often seem like
something of a confinement. When you close the book, you will hear their
pain. You might feel them calling for you.―—Los Angeles Review of
Books “The Help meets House of Cards meets the read thatâ€ll make you
forget all about your morning commute.―—theSkimm “Undocumented
immigration, the widening gulf between rich and poor, and the thinly
veiled racism of an avowedly ‘post-racial†culture converge in this
new generation of immigrants†painful encounter with the American
Dream. . . . The prose grows luminous.―—The Christian Science Monitor
“Mbueâ€s outsiderâ€s perceptions of American life—its stresses,
its excesses—are sharp. . . . Sheâ€s also shrewd on the disruptions
that come with the Jongas leaving their native land for a dream that may
be a delusion.―—The Seattle Times “An utterly unique novel about
immigration, race, and class—and an important one, as well.―—
BookPage“A debut novel by a young woman from Cameroon that illuminates
the immigrant experience in America with the tenderhearted wisdom so
lacking in our political discourse.―—The Washington Post “Mbue
writes with great confidence and warmth. . . . There are a lot of
spinning plates and Mbue balances them skillfully, keeping everything in
motion. . . . Behold the Dreamers is a capacious, big-hearted novel.―—
The New York Times Book Review “Mbueâ€s writing is warm and
captivating.―—People (book of the week) “Mbue is a wonderful writer
