Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1965. Softcover. Very Good. Uncorrected proof. Light gray printed wrappers. Faint dampstain along the edge of the front wrap, and very faintly in the bottom margins of pages. Advance issue of the author's first book. Despite a strong following among literary cognoscenti, McCarthy remained obscure for years until he finally left Random House in the late 1980s and Knopf's publicity department helped propel him into the first rank of American authors with *All the Pretty Horses*. Very scarce.
Sinopsis
The Orchard Keeper is the first novel by the American novelist Cormac McCarthy. Like all McCarthy's fiction, it has been heavily influenced by William Faulkner, probably more so than any of his other works. The novel is set in a small, isolated community in Tennessee, during the inter-war period. It is the story of John Wesley Rattner, a young boy, and Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger, who has killed Rattner's father, a fact to which both are oblivious.The writing of William Faulkner heavily influenced this novel, and it was awarded the 1966 William Faulkner Foundation Award for notable first novel.
