GROWING UP WEIGHTLESS
月面の低重力社会で育った若者が、自分の進路と家族の重みを見つめ直す成長小説。親密なスケールで未来社会を描く。
作品情報
月で育った青年の視線から、未来社会の重みと軽さが見えてくる。
John M. Ford らしい軽妙さと繊細さが合わさった、月面コロニーの青春小説。派手な事件よりも、環境と家族の圧力のなかで個人が立ち上がる瞬間に重心がある。
レビュー要約
-
親密な語り口と月面社会の細部が評価されるが、意図的な飛び方や省略の多さは読者を選ぶ。

coming of age on the moon
like all Fords works, complex people in a thoroughly worked out imagined world. nothing is simple, and quite a bit is left unexplained. just like life

Read it!
This is one of my top 10 writers. I read this book when it was first published, and still have it on my shelf. It is a bildungsroman told from multiple points of view. Every line in the book seems carefully crafted, and the technology behind the railroad is clearly thought out. There are times when the prose is very dense, and I have to read a paragraph multiple times to get all the nuances of what the author is saying, but it is worth the work.

That one really earns the title "classic"
John M. Ford is one of my favorite authors, and he really delivers there. Not only great Sci-Fi, but one of the best Y-A books ever written.

slow start, decent ending
It has been more than a week since I read this. I remember being a tad disapointed in the whole. Slow start, good not awesome ending.
