Hunts in Dreams
Autor Tom Druryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mai 2013
“Drury is a truly great writer.”—Esquire
“A beguiling novel . . . perceptive and captivating.”—The New York Times
“Startling and utterly original.”—Newsday
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.
