Beschreibung
The award-winning author of The End of Vandalism pens ';a gorgeous, inexplicably sad and funny novel about screwups trying to do better' (Salon). In this mesmerizing novel, Tom Drury once again journeys to the quiet Midwest to spend an action-packed October weekend in the lives of a precarious family whose members all want something without knowing how to get it: for Charles, an heirloom shotgun; for his wife, Joan, the imaginative life she once knew; for their young son, Micah, a knowledge of the scope and reliability of his world, aided by prowling the empty town at night; and for Joan's daughter, Lyris, a stable foot from which to begin to grow up. Sometimes together, sometimes crucially apart, father, mother, son, and daughter move through a series of vivid encounters that demonstrate how even the most provisional family can endure in its own particular way. ';A beguiling novel... perceptive and captivating.' The New York Times ';Entrancing.' The Guardian ';Startling and utterly original.' Newsday ';Drury is an absolutely delightful writer who has carved out a world of his own in American fiction, one that is odd, revealing, and yet filled with love.' Library Journal ';The trick and true pleasure here are in the utterly ordinary context these extraordinary events occur in. Drury never misses a beatthe quiet moments dazzle as much the louder ones.' Kirkus Reviews
