Okay, simple declarative sentence. Tracy Chevalier is a brilliant writer and storyteller. Othello has always been, for me, the least satisfactory of the four major tragedies despite the gorgeousness of Shakespeare's language. Iago is the only really interesting character and a plum role for an actor. Othello and Desdemona might be described (by me) as naïve and gullible, maybe a bit stupid.Chevalier's genius in her treatment of the play is in taking a not very credible plot with immature, not very credible characters and placing them where they belong-right smack in the world of a 6th graders' playground. These children, barely out of childhood, are inching toward adolescence, hormones beginning to kick in, credulous, gullible, naïve, and not stupid. It's the perfect setting for this story which seems rather silly and contrived with allegedly mature adults as its principals, but is not at all silly at with eleven year olds learning to be adults. To top it off, Chevalier even observes the classical unities of Greek drama, long discarded by Shakespeare's time.Brava, Tracy
Previously in the Hogarth Shakespeare series we've seen a stylized video game version (Winterson's The Gap of Time), an interrogation of an iconic character (Jacobson's My Name is Shylock), an examination of class and gender differences flattened into a bland rom-com (Tyler's Vinegar Girl), and a brilliant examination of death and loss that came with the unbelievable Easter egg of all the insane ways Margaret Atwood could think to stage Shakespeare (Hag-Seed) What we haven't seen is anything that improved upon the original - until now.Before you break out the pitchforks, let me clarify: I'm not saying Tracy Chevalier is a better writer than William Shakespeare. I'm saying that by relocating Othello to a 1970s schoolyard in D.C. in her New Boy she turns the fatal flaw of the original play - that the action escalates insanely and all the characters have the communication skills and maturity of ten year olds - into its greatest strength. Of course popular girl Dee and Ghanaian-transplant Osei develop an instant connection - that's how kids are. Of course bully Ian decides he's displeased with a possible change to the schoolyard pecking order and decides to bring the new boy down a peg - that's how kids are. Of course things get immediately out of hand and everyone's dialled to eleven - that's how kids are. What looks unforgivably juvenile in a group of Venetian soldiers and their wives and girlfriends makes perfect sense in a middle school.You expect any retelling of Othello to deal extensively with issues of race and belonging, but Chevalier delivers the added bonus of a young Dee(sdemona) with a complex inner life who has several female friends with their own issues and motivations, and while I'm not saying they're acing the Bechdel test, they're definitely outperforming their source material. All these layers and overwhelming emotions are drawn in Chevalier's simple, spare prose, which evokes poetry while still consciously avoiding aping Shakespeare's verse.While Hogarth's series got off to a bit of a wobbly start and has seen the occasional stumble (looking at you, Tyler!), Atwood and Chevalier's most recent entries seem to indicate they've finally hit their stride and in this case, in my mind at least, outpaced the original.
Osei ("just call me O") is a new boy at his Washington DC school. The son of a Ghanaian diplomat, this is his fourth school in as many years. Somewhat incredibly—although this does seem to be set around 1970—he is the only black kid in the school. Handsome, athletic, and smart, he is an object of immediate interest, especially to popular, blond-haired Dee, who is assigned to help him through his first day. Soon O and Dee ("what a coincidence we are both letters") have paired up. Seeing her feel his hair and him touch her cheek infuriates the racist teacher Mr. Brabant, and inspires a deeper hatred in Ian, the playground bully.We are all set for a replay of OTHELLO in this grade-school setting, for this is the fifth entry in the Hogarth Shakespeare Series. And alas, distinctly the least successful. It is not that Tracy Chevalier is a lesser author than Jeanette Winterson, Howard Jacobson, Anne Tyler, or Margaret Atwood—although you might argue that—but that the school setting, the age range (on the cusp of puberty), and the decision to cram everything into the course of a single day belittles Shakespeare's drama without offering any compensating value in return. I have to admit, though, that growing up in a very different school system myself, the environment is entirely foreign to me, but Chevalier did little to convince me of its reality.The book is both too compressed and too diffuse. Compressed in that, even with teenage hormones in full spate, the cycle of initial attraction, commitment, jealousy, and rage just won't fit into one school day. Diffuse in having too many characters too ill-defined, too many incidents of only peripheral relevance, and a complete absence of the tragic intensity and underlying atavism that is such a strong component of the Shakespeare.
The writing is excellent, but the ending is awful. Well, what did I expect? It is Othello. Also it seemed unlikely that a six grader(the villain) would be old enough to be so diabolical and crafty.When I finished, I felt bad for everyone including the narrow minded teachers.
This book will break your heart. I initially read it for the novelty of one of the greatest tragedies taking place in an elementary school, but found the story incrediblly compelling. The tenderness and intimacy between D and O are spellbinding. The tragedy is alarming, romantic, and deeply sad. This story invigorates an already beautiful tale into something intensely real and present. New Boy is a live play acted on a playground and I'm still reeling.
Chevalier's genius is on full display in New Boy. The riveting story takes place in one day on the grounds of an elementary school. Set during the 1970s, it's authenticity brought back memories of my own childhood. But New Boy is more than nostalgia. It's a tension-filled gripping tale you won't want to put down.
