Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The long-awaited follow-up from the author of the Flannery O’ Connor Award-winning collection, Silent Retreats, Forty Martyrs follows the intertwining lives of the people of Tuscola, Illinois, a small Midwestern college town that, over the course of the book, collectively experiences a spectacular fire, a terrible stabbing, and a questionable religious sighting. Through shifts in tone and perspective, Deaver’s natural storytelling creates a beautiful symphonic effect, an ode to small towns and Midwestern lives.

Nota de la solapa:

Praise for Silent Retreats: "Written in vivid, spare prose, the best of these stories linger, sad and profound, like songs you sing to yourself." -- New York Times "Permeated with finely crafted writing, grounded in the solidity of objects and places realized through well-textured description and resonant dialogue, this debut makes a wise, quietly provocative statement about commonplace tragedy and the ironies and fragility of relationships." -- Publishers Weekly "Like all good fiction, the stories in this first collection are true. . . . The language, especially the dialogue, is clean and well-lit; the narration is seemly. This is a fine debut." -- Virginia Quarterly Review "This collection . . . is quite impressive." -- Chicago Tribune
