Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

An extraordinary novel, one of the best I've read in years - Annie Proulx Near-perfect ... untouchably good - Alan Warner, Daily Telegraph A modern masterpiece ... A superb novel, from the very first page. - Jeffrey Lent (author of IN THE FALL) A fine and exciting novel ... Tim Gautreaux is a literary writer unafraid to tell a brisk and jolting story that keeps the pages turning. - Charles Frazier Compels you forward like a handcar on a downhill slope, until the final escape ... You read it in wonder. - Kent Haruf (author of PLAINSONG) THE CLEARING presents the reader with an interesting dilemma: do you give in to the stifling suspense and read quickly, to find out what happens to the novel's vivid characters, or do you go slow, savoring each delicious sentence, and thereby risking, by the climax, a nervous breakdown? - Richard Russo Hereafter, as with Mississippi and Faulkner, Northern California and Steinbeck, Georgia and O Connor, when I think of Louisiana, I will hear the voice of Tim Gautreaux. He has for me become an enduring presence not just in the world of books but in the American landscape. - Robert Olen Butler (author of THEY WHISPER)
