Let them eat turkey | Linh Dinh

My first Thanksgiving were taken from the unexpected generosity and hospitality. If only that were true of America throughout the year

Thanksgiving is an opportunity or need, not necessarily welcome, which is eaten with many others, while looking at his face again. As a contemporary of America, has taken many meals as I watched only half that in my case it is the computer and before that, the newspaper said. I eat in silence and darkness. It has not always been so.

My first Thanksgiving, I had just turned 12 and was all over the United States six months. I lived in Seattle with my father, the younger brother and a woman who became my stepmother. Even then, we hate. For $ 150 a month, we had a one bedroom apartment not far from my school, McKinley Elementary. My brother and I slept in sleeping bags on the floor of the room, with our treasure: a small black and white TV, a tutor in American culture and English

Every night, the magic box to mark the beginning of Bugs Bunny and Shirley Temple or the Three Stooges, followed by Jimmy Snuka. No song more sad or more heroic, as in the Vietnamese television. No body count more or political speeches. This is America, boys and girls, everything is ridiculous and fun!


Eight years later I had another memorable Thanksgiving dinner, this time in the house of a teacher, Boris Putterman. It was 1983 and my second year at art school. I started calling Boris "Mr. Putterman" but insisted "Boris," which is an informal, USA. Boris liked my progression as a young painter, and my confidence, which was later discovered, to his dismay, if not reluctance, to unjustified arrogance. Life would be a good kick in the ass to get out of school yet. So I had I deserved
