Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

?William Goyen?s The House of Breath is much more than a first novel of astonishing achievment. A profound sympathy with the humblest and poorest men and women combined with a great poetic insight constitute Mr Goyen?s wonderful and rare gift? Stephen Spender ?At his best, as in his first novel, The House of Breath, William Goyen managed to create an inspired flow of words... He reminds me of Malcolm Lowry in that he knows pity for what it is: a savageness, not a comfort? Robert Nye, Guardian

Reseña del editor:

The House of Breath, Goyen?s first novel, is a hymn to Charity, a small Texas town. In his celebration, Goyen evokes childhood, memory, loss and a sense of place. The book begins with Goyen?s intoxication with the spells of his birthplace: ?Those Texan wetlands are my wildness. They have haunted me and become my place in all my work.?
