Dalla quarta di copertina:
The fourteen stories which make up this dazzling collection echo with many voices: young and old, innocent and otherworldly, lovelorn and joyous.
Michael Dorris has an almost magical ability to get under the skin of his extraordinary characters, bringing them vividly, truthfully alive. Normand Pasco, a henpecked rural snow-plough operator defies his wife and buys a loud shirt in a garage sale, then impulsively ignites an affair with the widow of its previous owner. An ageing architect recalls the tragic drowning of his son – as he prepares to dig yet another ornamental lake. Arlan Seidon kidnaps two 'abused' elephants from a carnival, and is still on the run with them four years later, heading for Africa...
Also available in Flamingo: 'A Yellow Raft in Blue Water' and 'The Crown of Columbus' (co-written with Louise Erdrich)
'Dorris's writing is often stunning in its short-hand poetry. All the stories are strikingly different, and are told with flair. 'Working Men' is admirable, not just for its mastery and variety, but for Michael Dorris's faith in the heroism of ordinary American life.'
LOS ANGELES TIMES
''Working Men' reveals Michael Dorris to be one of the more exciting and gifted American short-story writers. These stories demonstrate his skilled and subtle story-telling, roving imagination and embracing humanism...Sensitive and beautifully observed.'
NEW YORK TIMES
''Working Men' contains stories as good as we are likely to find by anyone writing today. Dorris's vision is extraordinary.'
