Synopsis
By the time Rafael is born, the family farm has already gone to hell. Rafael s father has abandoned them. His older brothers, the twins Mauro and Joaquin, blame Rafael for their father s departure and exact revenge on their baby brother. Steban, his other sibling, is a simpleton whose affections and allegiances change with the shifting winds. Ruling over this dysfunctional roost is a tyrannical and avaricious mother.
On the lonely Patagonian steppe, life is lived to the rhythms of the family farm.
But there is nothing bucolic about the existence described in these pages:
it is ruthless, unforgiving, and bloody. As the family tensions mount, daily life
degenerates into open warfare.
Reminiscent of Coetzee s Disgrace, Chatwin s In Patagonia, the Dust Bowl novels of Steinbeck, the writing of Cormac McCarthy, and the southern gothic of William Faulkner, Nothing But Dust is a gripping, unsentimental, ultimately majestic story about life in one the most inhospitable places on Earth.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Quando Rafael viene al mondo la fattoria è già un inferno: il padre se n'è da poco andato per sempre; i fratelli maggiori, i temibili gemelli Mauro e Joaquin, forti e prepotenti, odiano l'ultimo arrivato e lo maltrattano; l'altro fratello, Steban, è semiritardato, e la madre, rozza e avara, tiene insieme quella famiglia di disperati con tirannica autorità. Nella steppa patagonica battuta dal vento, tra sassi, polvere e cespugli riarsi, la vita scorre secondo i ritmi dell'allevamento, con le mandrie e le greggi da spostare a seconda delle stagioni, la tosatura della lana, gli accoppiamenti e le macellazioni, sempre in uno spietato clima di miseria, sangue e sudditanza gerarchica: la madre è il capo assoluto, sotto di lei i gemelli, sotto di loro Steban, detto lo scemo, e sotto tutti gli altri Rafael, detto il piccolo. La tensione sale sino al precipitare degli eventi, una guerra combattuta dalla madre tiranna a colpi di astuzia e dai figli grandi a colpi di brutalità, con Rafael capro espiatorio di tutti e l'altro fratello Steban, sbigottito dalla nascita, che alterna la sua complicità con l'una o l'altra fazione.
