Heart wrenching story of Cameron Barnes, dying of AIDS, alone in rural NY state. His most recent long time partner has left him and he employs two young redneck brothers to help him get his garden in shape for an upcoming party he plans to give. The elder brother, Kyle, senses that Cameron seems partial to Jesse, his younger brother. He devises a scheme whereby Jesse will help Cameron with the gardening and they can perhaps wheedle something to their advantage. However, Jesse is overcome with all kinds of emotions he cannot deal with and you really need to read the book. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

From the author of the acclaimed Boys of Life and the award-winingThe Coming Storm comes a novel about a small town in upstate New York riven by tensions between the old residents and the newcomers. Cameron Barnes, formerly of New York City, lives in a small town in upstate New York. He's regained a measure of his health after nearly dying, but his long-term lover has moved away and he now faces the daunting prospect of relearning how to live with the prospect of a future alone. As a tentative step, Cameron hires two local young men, brothers Kyle and Jesse Vanderhof, to do some renovation work on his property. With the area's depressed economy, the town's changing population, and recent deaths in the family, the Vanderhofs are facing hard times and tough decisions. The older brother, Kyle, sees an opportunity in Cameron, pushing Jesse to befriend him and take advantage of his boredom and directionlessness. Caught between the opposing worlds embodied by Cameron and Kyle, Jesse is torn by his brother's demands, community and family expectations, and his own mix of volatile, contradictory emotions. Mirroring the town's own increasingly tense split between long-term residents and new arrivals, this trio moves inexorably towards crisis and potential tragedy that will transform each of their lives. Widely praised for his deft prose and brilliant characterizations, Paul Russell has become regarded as one of the finest contemporary American novelists. Now, withWar Against the Animals, he returns with his richest, most accomplished, and most compelling novel yet. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
