Very Old Bones (Contemporary American Fiction)

In 1938, Francis Phelan, a murderer, is reduced to flop houses and hobo jungles and returns to a depressed Albany, where--as a gravedigger--he shuffles his rag tag way to survival

Jack «Legs» Diamond è un marito amorevole, un seduttore, un grande ballerino, un bravo cattolico, l'amante più appassionato che si possa desiderare. Jack «Legs» Diamond è sfuggito a un rapimento tagliandosi un pezzo di braccio, è stato colpito da dodici proiettili in quattro diverse imboscate, una volta ha deviato le pallottole schermandosi con un cuscino, può parlare con gli uccelli e con i cani. Legs è un torturatore, è un gangster spietato, è solo un onesto contrabbandiere che dà da bere alle gole riarse dal Proibizionismo, è un eroe del popolo. Legs Diamond è un santo, Legs Diamond è solo un mito. Intriso di una malinconia struggente, riuscendo nel miracolo di restare fedele sia ai fatti sia a quel mito, Legs è il ritratto impossibile di un uomo la cui biografia è stata fin dall'inizio indistinguibile dalla leggenda, il cui volto era sulle prime pagine di tutti i giornali e le cui gesta erano offuscate dal fumo che avvolge i bar clandestini e il mondo sotterraneo della malavita: gli omicidi, la scalata al potere, le due gloriose prime attrici della sua vita, Alice e Kiki, la moglie inseparabile e l'amante sfavillante. Primo capitolo dell'osannata «trilogia di Albany» che valse a William Kennedy il Premio Pulitzer, Legs appartiene a pieno diritto alle vette più alte della narrativa americana: sullo sfondo di un'era fatta in egual misura di innocenza e corruzione, il superbo, ammaliante, ritratto di un uomo così grande che perfino i nemici ne erano segretamente sedotti, così vivo da non riuscire lui stesso a credere, quando infine il proiettile letale lo raggiunge, alla propria morte.

The Plan of Union

From the moment he rescues the beautiful, passionate Maud Fallon from the icy waters of the Hudson one wintry day in 1849, Daniel Quinn is thrust into a bewildering, adventure-filled journey through the tumult of nineteenth-century America. As he quests after the beguiling and elusive Maud, Daniel will witness the rise and fall of great dynasties in upstate New York, epochal prize fights, exotic life in the theatre, visitations from spirits beyond the grave, horrific battles between Irish immigrants and the "Know-Nothings," vicious New York draft riots, heroic passages through the Underground Railroad, and the bloody despair of the Civil War. Filled with Dickensian characters, a vivid sense of history, and a marvellously inventive humor, Quinn's Bookis an engaging delight by an acclaimed modern master.

Quinn's Book
