A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Gripping and tense...A work of literary art."―Annie Proulx

"A rich and challenging psychodrama...with echoes of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain."―Peter Beech, The Guardian

"Savage writes like thunder and lightning...Some books are like aquifers under the desert. They rest patiently, bubbling up in springs when we most need them."―Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

"A pitch-perfect evocation of time and place...Savage is a master of narrative technique."―Amanda Heller, Boston Globe

"Thomas Savage is a writer of the first order, and he possesses in abundance the novelist's highest art-the ability to illuminate and move."―The New Yorker

"Thomas Savage is a writer of real consequence...a masterful novelist."―Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

"The Power of the Dog offers so many pleasures readers will be forgiven if they do not immediately notice that it also engages the grandest themes-among them, the dynamics of the family, the varieties of loves, and the ethos of the American West. Put simply, The Power of the Dog is a masterpiece."―Larry Watson, author of Montana 1948

Biographie de l'auteur :

Thomas Savage was born on 25 April 1915 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to a large sheep-ranching family. His parents divorced when he was two years old, and on his mother’s remarriage Savage moved with her to Montana. He studied at the University of Montana and worked as a ranch hand for several years, but when an article he wrote on horse-breaking was published in Coronet magazine in 1937, Savage enrolled at Colby College in Maine to study English. He went on to have a variety of jobs, including welder, insurance man and plumber as well as teaching English at Brandeis and Vassar. His first novel, The Pass, was published in 1944 and he went on to write twelve more, including The Power of the Dog. He was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1980. Thomas Savage died in Virginia on 25 July 2003, aged eighty-eight.
