Best Book of the Year New York Times 2009: "Witzig, überraschend und von rauer Schönheit." Vanity Fair
Ein Mann wird zu Hause rausgeworfen, nachdem seine Frau innen auf der Windschutzscheibe einen Fußabdruck entdeckt hat, der nicht ihr eigener ist. Zwei sommerbetäubte Teenagerinnen rechnen draußen in den Wäldern miteinander ab. Wikinger überfallen eine bereits mehrfach geplünderte Insel in der Hoffnung, durch Blutvergießen und Brandschatzen ihre Winterdepressionen zu überwinden. Wells Towers Geschichten sind bevölkert von verkrachten Existenzen und Außenseitern: versoffene Träumer, unglückliche Väter und missratene Söhne. Alles zerstört, alles verbrannt verbindet elektrisierende Erzählkraft mit bissigem Witz Short Stories in der Tradition von Hemingway und Carver. Ein sensationelles Debüt von einem der aufregendsten amerikanischen Nachwuchsautoren.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A man is thrown out of his home after his wife discovers that the sweat-smudged footprint on the inside of his windscreen doesn't match her own. Teenage cousins, drugged by summer, meet with a reckoning in the woods. A boy runs off to the carnival after his stepfather bites him in a brawl. In the stories of Wells Tower, families fall apart and messily, hilariously try to reassemble themselves. His characters - marauding Vikings, washed-up entrepreneurs and jobbing hacks on local papers - are adrift from the mainstream, confused by contemporary masculinity, angry and aimless. Combining electric prose with compassion and dark wit, this is a major debut. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR002021097
