A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching portrait of the bloody price of power, The Son is an utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American West through the lives of the McCulloughs, an ambitious family as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim.
Love, honor, children are sacrificed in the name of ambition, as the family becomes one of the richest powers in Texas, a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. Yet, like all empires, the McCulloughs must eventually face the consequences of their choices.
Harrowing, panoramic, and vividly drawn, The Son is a masterful achievement from a sublime young talent.
'Stunning . . . a book that for once really does deserve to be
called a masterpiece' Kate Atkinson
'An impressive and multi-talented storyteller in the old, good sense -
the kind that makes me hang on for whatever the next chapter will hold' Richard Ford
'An epic in the tradition of Faulkner and Melville, this is the work
of a writer at the height of his power' Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds

Revue de presse :

'Stunning ... a book that for once really does deserve to be called a masterpiece' Kate Atkinson
'Magnificent ... McCarthy's Border Trilogy is a point of reference, as is There Will Be Blood, but it is not fanciful to be reminded of certain passages from Moby-Dick -- it's that good' The Times
'Brilliant ... a wonderful novel' Lionel Shriver, Financial Times
'Its viscerality and boundless capacity for storytelling puts it on par with the classic of the genre, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian' SundayTelegraph
