Notă biografică

Hicks
has
been
active
in
the
music
industry
in
Nashville
for
twenty
years
as
both
a
music
publisher
and
artist
manager.
The
driving
force
behind
the
perservation
and
restoration

in

Recenzii
"Robert
Hicks's
riveting
new
novel
takes
up
Hood's
life
after
the
war.
Anyone
who
has
ever
lived
in
New
Orleans
must
be
prepared
to
be
made
homesick,
and
the
bizarre
cast
of
characters,
including
a
dwarf,
a
burly
priest
and
a
boy
of
mixed
and
mysterious
parentage,
wouldn't
seem
right
in
any
city
but
this
one.
I
readA
Separate
Countrywith
breakneck
speed
for
that
most
old-fashioned
of
reasons:
I
wanted
to
see
what
happened
next.
And
then
I
eagerly
read
it
a
second
time
to
make
sure
I
got
the
complicated
twists
and
turns.
Is
there
a
better
recommendation?"—Washington

"A lovely, richly detailed tale pulled partly from history, partly from his own imagination. [Hicks] captures the enchanting, dark humid soul of post-war New Orleans..."—BookPage
"A powerful epic about how love and unselfish choices lead to personal transformations...Hicks uncovers layers of detail about characters and events we naively thought we understood. A marvelous accomplishment, as beautifully written and heart-wrenching as its predecessor."—Booklist
"Hicks follows his bestsellingThe Widow of the Southwith the grand, ripped-from-the-dusty-archives epic of Confederate general John Bell Hood...Hicks's stunning narrative volleys between Hood, Anna Marie and Eli, each offering variety and texture to a story saturated in Southern gallantry and rich American history."—Publisher's Weekly
"A Separate Countryis a powerful evocation of New Orleans as it was in 1879, a book thick with history, rich in atmosphere. The characters walk the city's rough and tumble streets, witness the corruption of the Louisiana Lottery and the toll of the yellow fever epidemic, enact their very human love affairs, hide their secrets. To read it is to visit, for the length of its pages, an all-enveloping, passionately rendered past, beautiful and hallucinatory. 'This city is not for the fainthearted,' Hicks writes."—New Orleans Times Picayune
"After the War, Hood scampered down to New Orleans in order to try to live as fully as possible. That's where Robert Hicks enters in his marvelous new book, which looks back on the legendary and monstrous general of the Civil War with a brand new set of eyes. Hicks doesn't ever let us forget that this was once a man who 'cared very little for the men [he] ruined.' Yet at the same time, this is a work which seems designed to remember Hood neither as a legend nor a monster but as a man."—Miami Herald
