Enon


Vypravěčem příběhu je muž středního věku, kterému zemřela dcera. Tuhle „lapidární“ informaci se dozvíme hned v úvodu: „Většina mužů v naší rodině po sobě zanechává vdovy a sirotky. Já jsem výjimka. Mou jedinou dceru Kate porazilo auto, když jela jednou odpoledne na kole z pláže.“ Bylo jí třináct. Rodiči to samozřejmě otřese. Natolik, že se rozejdou. Charles začne pít, cpe se prášky proti bolesti, ocitne se na ulici. Melancholie ho naprosto paralyzuje. Svůj čas tráví nicneděláním, pozorováním okolí a – vzpomínkami. Přese všechno cesta z naprostého dna nevede do pekel. Román je hlubokou a intimní meditací nad smyslem či koncem života – má neobyčejnou filmovou atmosféru a vnitřní sílu.

Tinkers


An old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks. Soon, the clouds from the sky above plummet down on top of him, followed by the stars, till the black night covers him like a shroud. He is hallucinating, in death throes from cancer and kidney failure. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory to rejoin his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler, whom he had lost seven decades before. In his return to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Maine, he recovers a natural world that is at once indifferent to man and inseparable from him, menacing and awe inspiring. Tinkers is about the legacy of consciousness and the porousness of identity from one generation to the next. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, it is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.

Tuláci


Georgi Crosbymu, spořádanému otci rodiny a vášnivému hodináři, zbývá posledních několik desítek hodin života a v halucinogenním stavu umírajícího se mu vybavují útržky nejen z jeho života, ale také vzpomínky na otce, kočovného podomního obchodníka Ho warda, podivína a originálního myslitele, který trpěl epilepsií a opustil rodinu, když bylo Georgeovi dvanáct.Příběhy obou mužů se splétají ve zvláštní obraz neuchopitelného lidského života, neúprosnosti času a výjimečnosti tvůrčího ducha. Román se p řelévá z první osoby do třetí, střídají se v něm klasické epické pasáže s proudy vědomí, vloženými fiktivními texty a lyrickými halucinogenními popisy. Soustředění na dvojici postav a jejich vnitřní svět mu dává sevřenou, intimní formu. Líčením příro dy, postavou myslitele, tuláka a proroka, který se nedokáže zařadit do běžné společnosti, tím vším dílo odkazuje k americké transcendentální tradici.

Apák


George Crosby földi ideje végéhez közelít. Halálos ágyának börtönében látja, amint az ablaktáblák meglazulnak, a plafon megreped, az ágya alatt beszakad a a padló, s ő a pincében találja magát, miközben szép lassan maguk alá temetik egy élet törmelékei: újságkivágások, régi családi fényképek és antik órák szétroncsolt réz alkatrészei. Aztán beszakad a tető, a felhők a fejére zuhannak, ezt a csillagok követik, majd végül felfeslik maga a fekete végtelenség is, hogy szemfedélként beterítse testét. Hallucinál. Az egykori órásmester mostanra megszabadult már az idő és az emlékezés szigorú kötöttségeitől. Visszatér csodákkal és fájdalmakkal teli gyermekkora vidékére, fölidézi nem mindennapi apja és még különösebb nagyapja alakját, hogy kirajzolja helyét az életben, és békére leljen.

Enon


Hailed as a masterpiece, Tinkers, Paul Harding's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut, is a modern classic. Here, in Enon, Harding follows a year in the life of Charlie Crosby as he tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby (the protagonist of Tinkers), Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie's encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history, and his yearning to understand the big questions. A stunning mosaic of human experience, Enon affirms Paul Harding as one of the most gifted and profound writers of his generation.

This Other Eden


From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a profoundly moving story of an island refuge, and a community of outcasts living on borrowed time. A novel inspired by the true story of the once racially integrated Malaga Island off the coast of Maine, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers. In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discovered an island where they could make a life together. More than a century later, the Honeys' descendants remain there, with an eccentric, diverse band of neighbors- a pair of sisters raising three Penobscot orphans; Theophilus and Candace Larks and their nocturnal brood; the prophetic Zachary Hand To God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who carves Biblical images in a hollow tree. Then comes the intrusion of "civilization"- eugenics-minded state officials determine to cleanse" the island, and a missionary schoolteacher selects one light-skinned boy to save. The rest will succumb to the authorities' institutions or cast themselves on the waters in a new Noah's Ark. Full of lyricism and power, This Other Eden explores the hopes and dreams and resilience of those seen not to fit a world brutally intolerant of difference.
