A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

PRAISE FOR TOM DRURY AND HIS WORK

'Hunts in Dreams is shorter than Drury's debut without being any slighter. He can do levity, he can do gravity. He can intimate social commentary and burrow into an individual's soul. A wonder of modern fiction, Drury can do anything he wants.'
INDEPENDENT

'A major figure in American literature, author of a string of novels without a dud in the bunch . . . Drury gives us the wondrous and engaging stuff of real storytelling.'
NEW YORK TIMES

'Drury is a truly great writer.'
ESQUIRE

'Tom Drury has done it again. Hunts in Dreams is guided by a wry and warm-hearted sensibility and populated with appealingly flawed characters whose quirks, desires, and self-contradictions are our own.'
WALLY LAMB

'A warning: if you read The End of Vandalism you will become one of those people who try to foist it upon other people, your eyes shining with the unsettling delight of having lived through it.'
JON MCGREGOR

'Astonishing . . . it feels almost surprising his characters don't wander out of the pages and shake you by the hand'
INDEPENDENT

'Drury is a big-time American talent.'
JONATHAN FRANZEN --...

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In Hunts in Dreams -- a follow-up to his acclaimed debut The End of Vandalism -- Tom Drury returns to the Midwest to spend a life-changing autumn weekend in the company of a family whose members all want something without knowing how to get it: for Charles (a.k.a. Tiny), it's an heirloom shotgun; for his wife, Joan, the imaginative life she once knew; for their young son, Micah, a sense of the limits of his world -- in search of which he prowls the empty town at night; and for Joan's daughter, Lyris, a stable base from which to begin to grow up.
Original but never showy, full of heart yet not sentimental, and funny in ways that deserve a new adjective, Hunts in Dreams is a remarkable, entirely delightful novel from a modern master.
