Críticas:
An extraordinary novel, one of the best I've read in years - Annie Proulx Near-perfect ... untouchably good - Alan Warner, Daily Telegraph A modern masterpiece ... A superb novel, from the very first page. - Jeffrey Lent (author of IN THE FALL) A fine and exciting novel ... Tim Gautreaux is a literary writer unafraid to tell a brisk and jolting story that keeps the pages turning. - Charles Frazier Compels you forward like a handcar on a downhill slope, until the final escape ... You read it in wonder. - Kent Haruf (author of PLAINSONG) THE CLEARING presents the reader with an interesting dilemma: do you give in to the stifling suspense and read quickly, to find out what happens to the novel's vivid characters, or do you go slow, savoring each delicious sentence, and thereby risking, by the climax, a nervous breakdown? - Richard Russo Hereafter, as with Mississippi and Faulkner, Northern California and Steinbeck, Georgia and O Connor, when I think of Louisiana, I will hear the voice of Tim Gautreaux. He has for me become an enduring presence not just in the world of books but in the American landscape. - Robert Olen Butler (author of THEY WHISPER)

But he returned from France a different man, drifting away and finally disappearing altogether, until he is discovered working as a constable in a remote Louisiana sawmill. Here, surrounded by cypress swamps and snakes and alligators, men lead lives of backbreaking toil punctuated only by the brutal entertainments offered by the Sicilians who control the whiskey and card games and girls, and by the rough law meted out by Byron. His brother, assuming charge of the mill, struggles to understand him, even as their wives contend with their own hopes and disappointments, and the future grows fearsome for them all. "The Clearing" is a story of family, of what sustains people through loss, of establishing a community in the deepest wilderness and then defending it. Palpably atmospheric, with a remarkable range of characters and emotions, it displays Tim Gautreaux's masterly understanding of time, place, and human nature. *** Quantity Available: 1.
