In a deeply hostile social context, Ward portrays a humanity constantly on the brink of survival and manages to give voice to a memory that remains “alive” despite everything. The result is a choral novel, endowed with extraordinary lyrical power but no less anchored in the US present, which connects the despair of the living with the desolation of the ghosts of the past and, above all, the stories of individuals with the history of the country.

The result is a choral novel, endowed with extraordinary lyrical power but no less anchored in the US present, which connects the despair of the living with the desolation of the ghosts of the past and, above all, the stories of individuals with the history of the country.File in questo prodotto:
