Revue de presse :
'With delicacy, empathy and control, John Darnielle has crafted an indelible novel, a hymn for those who inhabit lonely universes, and a harbour for anyone who has sought refuge in a reality other than their own' --Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers

'Surely I cannot be the only bookish devotee of The Mountain Goats who has yearned for whatever alchemy would be released if one of their taut, baleful American anthems had room to completely unfurl. Wolf in White Van is that fantasy put to papyrus and pixel: John Darnielle's savage genius gone free range. A meditation on monstrosity, isolation, escape and transformation, this trance of a novel lures us deep into the labyrinth of one young man s imagination. What we find there is alluring and feral, raw, unflinching and exquisite' --Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Battleborn

'Wolf in White Van is beautiful, enigmatic, and sad, and like every other brilliant thing John Darnielle has ever done, it seems to come from some fully imagined universe, of which we only get to see this haunting, enticing sliver. I utterly love it' --J. Robert Lennon, author of Familiar and See You in Paradise

'A complex meditation... cryptic and then stunningly clear, microscopically specific and then audaciously grand. The words soothe for sentences at a time, then strike with blunt force' --Slate

'Wolf in White Van is beautiful, enigmatic, and sad, and like every other brilliant thing John Darnielle has ever done, it seems to come from some fully imagined universe, of which we only get to see this haunting, enticing sliver. I utterly love it' --J. Robert Lennon, author of Familiar and See You in Paradise

'Darnielle's prose is strikingly good; it is not only lucid but startlingly effective at evoking the thoughts and emotions of his protagonist. This is definitely a highly gifted writer; one to watch' --Independent

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'Captivating and terrifying... Darnielle's writing [is full of] discomforting brilliance. A very fine novel full of darkness, sudden moments of true and good light are as rare as they are welcome, even wondrous' --Financial Times

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'Haunting... it will evoke strong feelings. Like all 'difficult' fiction, this novel carves out a niche for itself by refusing to pander or provide easy answers' --Book of the Week, Herald

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'The prose is spare yet fervent, both distant and rawly exposed, making for an eerie, awkward and compelling novel that immediately demands a second read' --Guardian

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'When John Darnielle isn't writing intense, skewed lyrics for The Mountain Goats, he is crafting intense, skewed and lyrical prose. The weirdly wonderful Wolf in a White Van is melancholy, clever, obsessive and even turns apocalypse into gameplay' --Debut of the year, Independent

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'John Darnielle's Wolf in White Van approaches the speculative and even the apocalyptic with a genuine and smart warmth - which doesn't mean I didn't also find it deliciously chilling' --'Book of the year', Wall Street Journal

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times

'Creepy and fast-moving' --The Times

'Intimate and involving... the emotional range is deep' --New York Times
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Welcome to Trace Italian, a game of strategy and survival! You may now make your first move. A terrible event leaves Sean Phillips disfigured when he is only seventeen. In the weeks that follow he creates an adventure game he calls the 'Trace Italian', where players awake in an apocalyptic America and make their way to safety across an irradiated landscape, decision by difficult decision. The years pass and Sean lives a quiet life enriched by the growing popularity of his games. But when a pair of teenage sweethearts try to seek the Trace in the real world their actions prove fatal, and everything changes. Confronted with the Trace's dangers, Sean finds himself questioning the safety of the world he has conjured and its origins in his own life-changing tragedy many years before; how strong are the walls between reality and fantasy? how can a single choice determine us? how great are the dangers in our own minds? A beguiling story of contingency, solitude and escape, Wolf in White Van is a heart-stopping debut from a musician and songwriter known for the transcendent power of his words.
