Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Treuer is truly an original voice." --The San Francisco Chronicle

"The Hiawatha is a work of secret vision . . . enlarging his narrative beyond mere human interaction and elevating it to the level of myth." --David Ulin, Newsday

"A story lyrical in its sadness, one demonstrating that most precious and rare of writerly gifts: the ability to reach equally well into both the heart and the mind of the reader." --Kirkus Reviews

"A remarkable novel . . . Treuer tells a story about an extended American Indian family, but it is really an American tale." --St. Paul Pioneer Press

Reseña del editor:

Recently widowed, and encouraged by government relocation schemes to move Native Americans off their reservations, Betty takes her four young children from their Ojibwe roots to make a new life in Minneapolis. Her younger son Lester finds romance on the soon-to-be-demolished train, The Hiawatha, while his older brother Simon takes a dangerous job scaling skyscrapers. Their fates collide, and result in a tale of crime, punishment, and redemption. An elegy to the American dream, and to the sometimes tragic experience of the Native Americans who helped to build it, "The Hiawatha" is a powerful novel that confirms David Treuer's status as a young writer of rare talent.
