Book by Cheever John
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Falconer és el nom d'un centre penitenciari federal, una presó de mala mort on es barregen delinqüents de tota condició. Ezekiel Farragut (reclús núm. 734-508-32 amb una condemna de deu anys a l'esquena) és el personatge que ens guia per aquest particular infern presidiari. Addicte a l'heroïna, i des que ingressa a Falconer també a la metadona, Farragut és un professor turmentat que compleix sentència per haver assassinat el seu germà. John Cheever ens introdueix tant a la institució penitenciària com al cor mateix d'Ezekiel Farragut, un cau de dimonis familiars tan asfixiant com la presó d'on malda per fugir. Tal com va escriure Saul Bellow en llegir Falconer, «Cheever és esplèndid. És brusc, és elegant, és pur. També és indispensable, si vols saber de debò què està passant a l'ànima humana als Estats Units».
'One of the most important novels of our time.. Read it and be ennobled' New York Times
Ezekiel Farragut is a college professor, a drug-addict and a murderer. Locked in Falconer State Penitentiary, he struggles through tormenting visits from his wife, the burden of memory and guilt, and the brutal monotony of his surroundings to retain his humanity, eventually finding the possibiltiy of redemption through an affair with a fellow prisoner. Considered by many to be Cheever's masterpiece, Falconer is a tour de force from one of America's greatest storytellers.
