Synopsis

The Blood of Heaven One of the most powerful and impressive debuts Grove/Atlantic has ever published, "The Blood of Heaven" is an epic novel about the American frontier in the early days of the nineteenth century. Its twenty-six-year-old author, Kent Wascom, was awarded the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival Prize for fiction, and this first novel shows the kind of talent rarely seen in any novelist, no Full description

Revue de presse

In the present age of cultural strife and national re-definition, a brilliantly resonant novel blooming from America's ever-thus history is just what the zeitgeist deserves. And The Blood of Heaven is as achingly beautiful in its personal story as it is savagely clear-headed in its national story. Kent Wascom has arrived fully-formed as a very important American writer. --Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain
Young Kent Wascom went down to the crossroads and there he made his deal. Or maybe he was just born spirited for this kind of work. Either way, I cannot name such a stunning debut as this one. It reads as not written, but lived and remembered - and how impossible is that? Whoever may own Kent Wascom's soul, The Blood of Heaven will forever be ours. --Robert Olmstead, author of Coal Black Horse
A genuine American historical epic --D.J. Taylor
Every page of Kent Wascom's debut, The Blood of Heaven, struck me with its beauty and ugliness... This is not, like most novels, a glimpse of a life. It is a life. --Esquire
A bold, brilliant debut... It's the work of a young writer with tremendous ambition, a bildungsroman of religion and revolution... Wascom writes with a fire-breathing, impassioned eloquence. --The Washington Post
Compelling. Wascom's writing rolls from the page in torrents, like the sermon of a revivalist preacher in the grip of inspiration. You can't help listening, no matter how wicked the message. --The Wall Street Journal
An astonishingly assured debut... He is more knowing than a writer his age has any right to be and displays a virtuosic command of biblical cadence and anachronistic vernacular without striking any false notes. --San Francisco Chronicle
With its setting, its violence-driven plot and its resonant and often harshly beautiful language, The Blood of Heaven evokes comparison to the work of Cormac McCarthy... Kent Wascom is a striking new voice in American fiction. --Miami Herald

Description de la librairie

I am not a professional book seller. Rather, I am a retired person who has collected thousands of books over a long life. At the end of this long life it is time to reduce and simplify in number and quality most of my personal possessions. All books I intend to list are As New, most are first editions, and many are signed. They have been properly treated and stored and are all from my collection. A very few, clearly marked, do not fit into that description but no book offered for sale will diminish the quality of a collection or store offering.
