[nolongerdani]

of turtles and anthropology

People always raved (or ranted) about Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life. It is part of my reading list, but after multiple trigger warnings and emotional distress posted by lots of readers, coupled with my interest on anything anthropological thanks to Lily King’s Euphoria, I picked up The People in the Trees by Yanagihara instead. 

And boy, was it a fucking trip.  (Spoiler warning)

Anthropological novels (well, so far with my experience with Euphoria by Lily King) always tackle the concept of white imperialism. And it has a formula, a group of anthropologists discover a tribe, study their culture, their social structure, their practices and traditions. And of course there’s always that moral, that lesson, that people of color also have their own culture, own civilization, that frankly, don’t need conversion by a white dominant culture or power. But there’s also always that one greedy character that in some way or somehow, ruins the civilization either by imposition of their dominant culture or disrespecting the community or some other destructive white thing, all in the name of glory, or some personal goal that the character wishes to attain. The People in the Trees has all that, with an added touch of magical realism, thanks to a mysterious turtle who allegedly when eaten, prolongs the life of one that eats it. 

Yanagihara writes so intricately, her fictionalized anthropological site was a treat to the senses, you could really feel being in that remote island yourself, seeing bizarre species of trees, fruits, flowers, and animals; smelling all sorts of smells, and living that survivor life as the anthropologists and a doctor in this journey. I also love how she characterized Dr. Norton Perina -- a stereotypical white man who yearns for glory, for that feeling of fulfillment -- complex and  unlikeable, but in the majority of the book, you’ll find yourself sympathizing with him, whether or not you are critical with white imperialism (which, you should be!). The thing is, the book gets you blindsided by who Dr. Norton really is, until you get to the last part of the book -- to the post script. 

The novel is written memoir style, and opens with a series news articles about Dr. Norton Perina -- how his career changed because of a discovery, his adoption of 46 children from the tribe he had studied, and how his career and reputation suffered because he was accused of sexual assault by one of his adopted children. Narrating this novel is Dr. Robert Kubodera, a close friend of Dr. Perina, who wishes to clear his name. He was a genius, this was a mistrial, an unfair humiliation on his part. He releases Perina’s memoir in his own words with him as the editor. And so the novel begins. 

The thing is, and what blows my mind about this novel and how it’s written, is how it depicts human greed in such a number of ways -- through humans wanting to attain immortality, the science race at the expense of human life, and well, the gross misuse of cultural (to an extent, moral) relativism. It does all these things through the life of Dr. Perina. 

Throughout the novel, you’re teetering between wanting to feel sympathy for Dr. Perina or hate him. And it happens lots of times in the novel. It happens so many times that until you reach the part where he’s adopted all these children in a supposed self-punishment for the disrespect that he has done to that tribe and start actually feeling sorry for him, you are slapped with the reality that he’s actually white trash. A white, pedophilic trash. And you hate him even more after you realized that the things he witnessed and excused in the tribe -- namely, the raping ritual of young boys to open themselves to their sexuality, the absence of any sort of sexual taboo -- encouraged him to use cultural relativism to his advantage, that all along, he made excuses for his behavior towards his children, molesting them just because they were from this tribe. That just because he “saved” them from the ruin of the tribe that he played a part of. The novel gradually makes you see the impacts of white imperialism from its smallest of units to the biggest of magnitudes --  how it destroyed a whole-ass Micronesian (though fictionalized) nation. 

And the writing with which it took you through all these emotions are just mindblowing. It proves the author’s ability to be able to get you under their spell that you find yourself so engrossed in this intricate, riveting piece of work. 

A brilliant work, indeed.
