The Bulldog still does not have his fake, tacky, Casio watch. The seller, who claims to be shipping from Minneapolis, shipped it from China. Huge surprise, right?
The Bullmeister just not dig this level of fuckery.
Again, this has nothing to do with the cap at hand.
Today we discuss “THE BORDER CHILDREN”.
It is a tale of the abandoned. Although, it’s not entirely clear why. Menes and Donkor are surviving alone without any adult supervision, planning their escape from where they are, the “Land of His Fathers”, to the “Other Side”. The “Other Side” is clean and lush, while the “Land of His Fathers” is a toxic deathtrap. The boys are offered an escape but only Menes seizes the opportunity.
The cap has starts out strong, a gloomy post-apocalyptic tale of the lost boy. It almost has a “Boy and His Dog” feel when Menes meets Rehema. But it leaves the reader with more questions than it answers.
We discover that the children have been abandoned at the border by their parents to provide them better opportunity to escape to the “Other Side”. However, I can’t help to think that if it was my child, I’d be tirelessly working to get them there myself, not leave them unsupervised to fend for themselves.
And there are more questions, like why, when it’s possible to cut a hole in the fence to let the children through, are there guards to keep the children out. It doesn’t seen that the fence has anything to do with maintaining the separation between the toxic landscape of the “Land of His (Your) Fathers” and the lush, green “Other Side”.
And we’re left guessing what this locust-like attack is.
Part of me thinks this is a deliberate attempt to see war through the eyes of a child, but still, I feel like there could have been a way to explain more within that framework.
This cap is good, but I think it needs a little more clarity, even if it is a child’s vision.
So I have to say no. We’ll see what the fishy one thinks.
PS - This also feels like it is supposed to be part of something longer.
