Krátky popis
Sten Stenson, Vietnam veteran and retired school principal, and his
wife, Carolee, are on a cruise in Costa Rica when their coach
excursion is hijacked. Sten's military training overtakes him and
within moments one of the attackers lies dead. The rest flee and
Sten finds himself hailed a hero by the tour group and everyone
back home. Meanwhile, in the redwood forests north of San
Francisco, Sara - a farrier who refuses to recognize the authority
of the government - is arrested after failing to cooperate with
police at a routine stop. A chance meeting with
twenty-five-year-old Adam, Sten and Carolee's unstable son, sparks
a strange but passionate relationship fuelled by a mutual hatred of
the law. Adam, an angry and misunderstood outsider, perennially
dressed in camouflage and with his head shaved to the bone, has an
unhealthy obsession with nineteenth-century mountain man John
Colter. As Adam's views and behaviour become steadily more extreme,
he descends into a spiral of fanatical violence that is impossible
for his family or Sara to halt. The latest novel by internationally
bestselling author T. C. Boyle, The Harder They Come is as timely
as it is provocative. A deep and disturbing meditation on the roots
of American gun violence, it explores the fine line between heroism
and savagery, and just how far a parent can be held accountable for
the actions of his child.
