Krátky popis
‘Everett has mastered the movement between unspeakable terror and
knock out comedy’ – The New York TimesDavid Larson can never go
home. His parents are dead. His sister and her hippie husband,
staunchly anti-war, won't even have the newly returned Vietnam
veteran in the house.So Larson takes his chances on the road,
travelling west from Georgia until he breaks down in the nowhere
town of Slut’s Hole, Wyoming. There he finds lodging with Chloë
Sixbury, a one-legged sexagenarian widow, and her disabled son.
Their ersatz family is complete when Larson takes in Butch, a
Vietnamese girl abandoned at the highway rest stop where he works,
but at the edge of this tableau lingers the unmistakable spectre of
violence.Blending the grotesquerie of the Southern Gothic with the
Western's codes of frontier justice, in Walk Me to the Distance
Percival Everett renders a vivid and haunting landscape of the
American badlands, where cruelty is the lingua franca. Part of the
Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador
books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
