Poachers: Stories Tapa blanda - 2000
de Tom Franklin
Franklin's eloquent, deceptively simple prose evokes a world of hunting and fishing, shotgun shacks and trailer parks, poachers and lawmen, factory workers, poor white trash, and bucket-o'-blood boozers. His stories are laced with naked violence, lush detail, and the hot blood, sweat, and tears of human relationships.
Resumen
Primera línea
Chugging and clanging among the dark pine trees north of Mobile, Alabama, the Black Beauty Minerals plant was a rickety green hull of storage tanks, chutes and conveyor belts.
Descripción de contraportada
In ten stunning and bleak tales set in the woodlands, swamps and chemical plants along the Alabama River, Tom Franklin stakes his claim as a fresh, original Southern voice. His lyric, deceptively simple prose conjures a world where the default setting is violence, a world of hunting and fishing, gambling and losing, drinking and poaching -- a world most of us have never seen. In the chilling title novella (selected for the anthologies New Stories From the South: The Year's Best, 1999 and Best Mystery Stories of the Century), three wild boys confront a mythic game warden as mysterious and deadly as the river they haunt. And, as a weathered, handpainted sign reads: "Jesus is not coming". This terrain isn't pretty, isn't for the weak of heart, but in these desperate, lost people, Franklin somehow finds the moments of grace that make them what they so abundantly are: human.
