Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Thomas Steinbeck writes with grace, authority, and passion. If John Steinbeck were my father, I would not have the courage to write a laundry list or a letter to the editor. But Thomas Steinbeck inherited his father's great love of story. It is a grand thing to have a Steinbeck back in American letters."
--PAT CONROY

"These tough, unsparing stories are written as if they were lived, not imagined, by their author. Thomas Steinbeck has found his own voice and he exults in the sound of it. This is authentic, honest American writing. The kind of writing a father would be proud of."
--TERRENCE MCNALLY

"Thomas Steinbeck's stories breathe vivid new life into nineteenth-century California, and bring to mind the pleasures of such writers as Hamlin Garland, Jack London, and Stephen Crane. This is a splendidly assured and convincing debut."
--DAN CHAON
Author of the National Book Award Finalist Among the Missing

Reseña del editor

Drawing on the culture and history of northern California, this debut collection of short fiction--by the son of the legendary John Steinbeck--captures a world in which nature has a profound influence on the human characters--sailors, immigrants, ranchers, doctors, and others--who dwell on the edge of a frontier. Reader's Guide available. Reprint.
