A Most Anticipated Book from The New York Times Book Review , The Los Angeles Times , The Boston Globe , NPR, The Guardian , Goodreads, LitHub , BookRiot , New Scientist , Barnes & Noble, Publishers Weekly , Library Journal , Book Culture, Washington Review of Books , Reactor Magazine , Gizmodo, Tertulia, Paste Magazine , and Orange County Register "This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you'll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there's so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it." -- Stephen King "Sing, goddess, of Mark Z. Danielewski's reimagining of the American western. . . . Tom's Crossing sifts gold from a slurry of genre conventions--Stetsons, palominos, Smith & Wesson rifles--marrying Homeric hymns with more recent account of land grabs and oligarchs. Set in Utah in 1982 and rendered in a tangy vernacular . . . [the story] follows a pair of truculent ponies and the teenagers determined to save them from an abattoir--a simple plot that opens onto a metaphysical odyssey, an epic about epics. . . . [Danielewski] has always reveled in bridging genre and high-gloss literature; here he blends police procedural, the horror of Stephen King and the postmodern density of David Foster Wallace. It's Danielewski's infinite West. . . . This is peak maximalist fiction: a mash-up of famous, forgotten and half-forgotten volumes, a library of an author's mind. . . . The novel is also funny, à la Charles Portis, sprinkling droll comedy among its gorgeous surfaces. . . . Danielewski's love of life in all its guises brightens his novel; he hoists us onto the saddle to see it up close." -- The New York Times Book Review "[A] celebration of mountainous immensity. . . . The prose is highly oral. . . . Think a more sophisticated Huckleberry Finn with numerous references to Greek myth and literature. . . . [ Tom's Crossing ] is plot-driven--and in a way author-driven--with readers forced by its narrative conventions to ride out the whole suspenseful journey. . . . An anomaly, a non-comped work." -- The Los Angeles Times "An epic of the American West. . . . A work of new mythology. . . . Danielewski often shifts his tone and language instantaneously between a Louis L'Amour novel and a piece of holy text. . . . [He] takes our own places, both mountains and mythos, and builds new worlds from it." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A sweeping epic set in the rugged Utah wilderness. . . . Danielewski's prose is lush and dialect-inflected, simultaneously ornate, and folksy, reminiscent of early Cormac McCarthy. The characters are exquisitely drawn, memorable, and fully human. Mythic in ambition, the narrative is propulsive yet immersive, given to rumination and asides, adding intimacy and emotional resonance. A most resplendent journey well worth the effort." -- Booklist , starred review "Epic. . . . The beauty of this elaborate novel goes beyond the page-turning plot. . . . Fans of Danielewski's House of Leaves will clamor for his first major stand-alone novel in 25 years." -- Library Journal , starred review "With echoes of The Iliad and a body count to rival Blood Meridian , morphing from Western to horror to police procedural and back again, Danielewski's yarn is carefully plotted and imaginatively written. . . . A daring foray into a genre that's seen little recent experimentation." -- Kirkus Reviews "Exciting. . . . Adventurous readers will enjoy this wild ride." -- Publishers Weekly, A Most Anticipated Book from The New York Times Book Review , The Los Angeles Times , The Boston Globe , The Guardian , LitHub , Barnes & Noble, Publishers Weekly , Reactor Magazine , Tertulia, and Paste Magazine "This is an amazing work of fiction.

Synopsis
From the bestselling author of House of Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set for slaughter. "This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you'll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there's so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it." --Stephen King Hard to figure how so much awful horror could've started out with just them two horses and not a one yet named... While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines. For sure no one expected the dead to rise, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow. As one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days before she died, Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell him: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the bestselling author of House of Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set for slaughter.

- 3***6 (109)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI appreciate the speed with which Whattaplace shipped my order to me. Regretfully the item was lost somewhere in the shipment process. I also liked the asking price as well. I dialogued with the vendor, about the item not showing up when expected. They got right back to me, and said they'd refund the purchase price (which they did). I was to watch for the item if it got delivered. I'd notify Whattaplace of that. I'd recommend this vendor & would buy from them again.The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymnal (Hardcover) (Nr. 143952946369)
