KURZE BESCHREIBUNG/ANMERKUNGEN: The New York Times bestselling novel, now in paperback: a masterful story of the cataclysm that undoes one boys family, and the stark and unforgiving landscape in which he attempts to find grace, only to confront the violence lurking at the heart of the world, from the Pulitzer Prize winner. AUSFÜHRLICHERE BESCHREIBUNG: "Richard Ford is doing his very best in his extraordinary new novel... and hes doing it with a level of linguistic mastery that is rivaled by few, if any, in American letters today...Canada is a tale of what happens when we cross certain lines and can never go back. It is an examination of the redemptive power of articulated memory, and it is a masterwork by one of our finest writers working at the top of his form." -- Andre Dubus III, New York Times Book Review "First, Ill tell about the robbery our parents committed. Then the murders, which happened later." When fifteen-year-old Del Parsons parents rob a bank, his sense of normal life is forever altered. In an instant, this private cataclysm drives his life into before and after, a threshold that can never be uncrossed. His parents arrest and imprisonment mean a threatening and uncertain for Del and his twin sister, Berner. Willful and burning with resentment, Berner flees their home in Montana, abandoning her brother and her life. But Del is not completely alone. A family friend intervenes, spiriting him across the Canadian border, in hopes of delivering him to a better life. There, afloat on the prairie of Saskatchewan, Dell is taken in by Arthur Remlinger, an enigmatic and charismatic American whose cool reserve masks a dark and violent nature. Undone by the calamity of his parents robbery and arrest, Del struggles under the vast prairie sky to remake himself and define the adults he thought he knew. But his search for grace and peace only moves him nearer a harrowing and murderous collision with Remlinger, an elemental force of darkness. A true masterwork of haunting and spectacular vision from one of our greatest writers, CANADA is a profound novel of boundaries traversed, innocence lost and reconciled, and the mysterious and consoling bonds of family. Told in spare, elegant prose, both resonant and luminous, it is destined to become a classic. "Confirms [Fords] position as one of the finest stylists and most humane storytellers in America... his most elegiac and profound book." -- Washington Post BIOGRAFIE Ford, Richard (US): Richard Ford, geboren 1944 in Jackson, Mississippi, lebt heute in New Orleans und Montana. Für seine Romane hat er zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten. 2014 wurde er mit dem Blue Metropolis International Literary Grand Prix für sein Lebenswerk geehrt. Taschenbuch / Paperback.

'First, I'll tell about the robbery our parents committed. Then the murders, which happened later.” So begins Canada, the unforgettable story of a boy attempting to find grace, written by the only writer in history to win both the Pulitzer Prize and Pen/Faulkner Award for a single novel. This is the story of Dell Parsons, whose parents rob a bank and fracture his life into a before and an after, crossing the threshold that cannot be uncrossed. After his parents' arrest and imprisonment, Del and Berner, his twin sister, face a blank future of foster care and social services visits. Berner, willful and burning with anger, runs away - orphaning Del completely. In the midst of his abandonment, a family friend intervenes, spiriting Del across the Montana/Saskatchewan border. There, in a dilapidated town floating in the sea of the Canadian prairie, he's taken in by Arthur Remlinger - an enigmatic, charismatic man whose own past exists on the other side of a similarly uncrossable border. Undone by the calamity of his parents' robbery, Del struggles under the vastness of the prairie sky and the stark, unforgiving landscape to realign his sense of self and his perception of the parents he thought he knew, even as he moves on an inexorable collision course with the slow-simmering violence trembling just beneath Arthur Remlinger's cool reserve. A resonant and luminous masterwork of haunting and spectacular vision, CANADA is an elemental novel of boundaries traversed, innocence lost, and of the mysterious and powerful bonds of family. Told in spare, elegant prose but rich with emotional clarity, lyrical precision, and an acute sense of the grandeur of living, it is a masterpiece from one of the greatest American writers alive.
