Riassunto

“Rambling and generous . . . it reads at times like a John Irving novel touched up by Roy Blount Jr. . . . Sweet, sad, and refreshing.”—New York Times Book Review

“[Edgar’s] soul is as spotless as John Wayne’s .45, and so is Udall’s sharp and rangy prose. His similes sting, his sentences go bang, and his chapters roll like the wagon wheels across the harsh Mormon desert of right and wrong.”—GQ

“Extraordinary. . . . There are pages that are just fall-down funny. . . . It’s like nothing else you’ve ever read.”—Newsweek

“Vibrant, big-hearted. . . . A poignant, picaresque odyssey.”?—Chicago Tribune

“A marvelous first novel. . . . An adept mix of humor and pathos.”—Los Angeles Times

“An ingenious tale [that] takes its heart from Dickens and its soul from America’s great outlaw West.”—Elle

Su questo libro

Product Description:

At the beginning of this high-spirited novel of the American West, a seven-year-old boy on an Apache Indian reservation in Arizona has his head run over by a mail truck. But this is no tragedy, for not only does Edgar survive the accident--he maintains his innate goodness and his belief in the redeeming power of language. The result is a miracle of storytelling, bursting with heartache and hilarity. 432 pp. National ads. Author tour. 75,000 print.
