Notă biografică
Laird Hunt
Recenzii
"The
three
loosely
related
novels
Laird
Hunt
has
published
since
2012-Kind
One,Neverhome,
andThe
Evening
Road-are
perhaps
my
favorite
body
of
work
by
an
American
author.The
Evening
Roadis
difficult
subject
matter-its
story
revolves
around
a
historical
lynching
in
Indiana-but
its
two
women
narrators
are
both
intensely
memorable
characters,
and
through
them
Hunt
deftly
explores
both
the
present
evils
and
the
possible
grace
of
humanity.—Matt
Bell,New
York
"A strange, dazzling novel, as audacious as it is lyrical,The Evening Roadhauls up insight, sorrow, and even-somehow-wit from the well of American history."—Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room and The Wonder
"Hunt's new book raises his own high bar further with an almost fablelike view of prejudice and cruelty some 60 years after emancipation... Hunt finds history or the big events useful framing devices, but he is more interested in how words can do justice to single players and life's fraught moments. Hunt brings to mind Flannery O'Connor's grotesques and Barry Hannah's bracingly inventive prose and cranks. He is strange, challenging, and a joy to read."—Kirkus (starred review)
"[The Evening Road] illuminates its time better than any staid sepia period piece ever could."—Vulture
"[Hunt's] books share a richness of language and a vividness of imagery that can seriously blow the mind."—Bookpage
"The Evening Roadis a sad and raucous story, ugly and beautiful at once, evocatively starring two very different women."—Shelf Awareness
"Wow! Beautifully crafted, seductive, evocative language and a story that punches you in the gut and lays you low and yet leaves you wanting more. It's rich, deep, dark, harrowing stuff and it does what all great fiction does-it lays ahold of the heart and won't let go. You'll think about this book for weeks, if not years, to come."—Daniel James Brown, bestselling author of The Boys in The Boat
"Not since Miss Jane Pittman have I encountered such strong and admirable characters as Laird Hunt's Ottie Lee Henshaw and Calla Destry. InThe Evening Road, Hunt shows us how love and kindness can and ultimately will prevail over misogyny and racial injustice. This dramatic story of one horrific day in Middle America a century ago is as relevant to our own era as the intolerance, latent and otherwise, that still characterizes all levels of our society.The Evening Roadis both a major literary achievement and a timely and inspiring story in these troubles, latter days."—Howard Frank Mosher, author of A Stranger In The Kingdom
"The book is at once disturbing, highly imaginative and evocative, a tale that is likely to occupy your thoughts well after you close the cover."—The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Laird Hunt is one of our great literary stylists."—WYSO's Book Nook
"A strange, dazzling novel, as audacious as it is lyrical,The Evening Roadhauls up insight, sorrow, and even-somehow-wit from the well of American history."—Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room and The Wonder
"The
Evening
Roadis
a
vivid,
disturbing
book,
able
to
subvert
itself
in
half
a
line,
constantly
challenging
the
reader's
expectations.
Its
ghost
map
is
quickly
established
in
the
reader's
head,
and
as
the
characters
fade
into
the
margin
of
the
final
page,
it
is
as
if
an
inner
landscape
has
altered.
It
is
mature,
accomplished,
impressive."

Mantel,

author
