The Mighty Red: The powerful new novel from the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Autor Louise Erdrichen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2024
In Argus, North Dakota, a fraught wedding is taking place.
Gary Geist, a terrified young man set to inherit two farms, is desperate to marry Kismet Poe. Gary thinks Kismet is the answer to all of his problems; Kismet can't even imagine her future, let alone the kind of future Gary might offer. During a clumsy proposal, Kismet misses her chance to say 'no' and so the die is cast.
Hugo has been in love with Kismet for years. He has been her friend, confidante and occasionally her lover - and now she is marrying Gary, Hugo is determined to steal her back.
Meanwhile Kismet's mother, Crystal, hauls sugar beets for Gary's family, and on her nightly truck drives along the highway from the farm to the factories, she tunes in to the darkness of late-night radio, sees visions of guardian angels, and worries for the future - both her daughter's and her own.
Starkly beautiful like the landscape it inhabits, The Mighty Red is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets. And as with every book this great modern master writes, The Mighty Red is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendour.
A new novel by Louise Erdrich is a major literary event; gorgeous and heartrending, The Mighty Red is a triumph.

Recenzii
'Erdrich excels at the slow simmer, and once again she delivers a deliciously seductive masterwork'
Erdrich remains one of the world's literary giants
In the hands of this master storyteller, everything is effortlessly connected. . . . Fearlessly depicting the toughest losses and darkest threats, Erdrich always finds hope
[A] deft, almost winsome novel. . . . Erdrich's writing feels both effortless and wise. . . . In this tender and capacious story, love and tragedy mingle along the river and into the world
Erdrich's achievement is pretty remarkable: a [narrative] voice with brio and lightness that wends and weaves between modes and moods. It's unpredictable and multifaceted
A sweeping, tender-hearted epic
[A] finely woven tale of anguish and desire, crimes and healing. With irresistible characters, dramatic predicaments, crisp wit, gorgeously rendered settings, striking ecological facts, and a cosmic dimension, Erdrich's latest tale of the plains reverberates with arresting revelations
An immersive domestic drama . . . that, like much of Erdrich's oeuvre, speaks to the acrimony at the heart of the American national project
A heart-wrenching story of how human lives are susceptible to nature's impact
In The Mighty Red, humor and sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing.... Erdrich is so good at romantic comedy, with her special blend of Austen sense and Ojibwe sensibility. As the funny scenes flow one after another, you may not even notice the stray drops of blood scattered along the novel's margins. . . . As usual when closing a book by Louise Erdrich, I'm left wondering, how can a novel be so funny and so moving? How can life?
The Mighty Red might just be a new American classic
A new novel from Louise Erdrich-winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, if you didn't know-is always something to celebrate... Start clearing off space on your bedside table now
Erdrich delivers a raw, resonant portrait of buried secrets, family and fate
Praise for Louise Erdrich
'[A] powerful, endearing novel . . . resolves in small moments of personal redemption and familial love, allowing for hope amid tragedy' Guardian on The Sentence
'Strange, enchanting and funny: a work about motherhood, doom, regret and the magic - dark, benevolent and every shade in between - of words on paper' New York Times on The Sentence
'Louise Erdrich is my favourite writer and her latest, The Night Watchman, is my favourite Erdrich novel . . . No one is better than Erdrich at creating an entire world and all the people who live there, past, present and future' Ann Patchett, Evening Standard on The Night Watchman
'This book feels particularly special, taking those elements that we expect from Erdrich - beautiful prose, exquisite depiction of the natural world, powerful emotion - and building them into something exceptional . . . one of America's most important living novelists' Spectator on The Night Watchman
'The Round House is an extraordinary, engrossing novel, which should live long in the memory' Independent on Sunday on The Round House
'It is important to say that Erdrich is one of the greatest living American writers, and LaRose is brilliant' Guardian on LaRose
