| Summary |
"This isn't just one of the outstanding books of 2019, it's one of the outstanding books of the century, so far." ́ђؤThe Irish Times A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BIG BOOK OF WINTER INSTITUTE 14 A 2019 HERALD SCOTLAND BOOK TO WATCH FOR AN OBSERVER 2019 FICTION PICK COMING SEPTEMBER 2019 Baking a multitude of tartes tatins for local restaurants, an Ohio housewife contemplates her four kids, husband, cats and chickens. Also, America's ignoble past, and her own regrets. She is surrounded by dead lakes, fake facts, Open Carry maniacs, and oodles of online advice about survivalism, veil toss duties, and how to be more like Jane Fonda. But what do you do when you keep stepping on your son's toy tractors, your life depends on stolen land and broken treaties, and nobody helps you when you get a flat tire on the interstate, not even the Abominable Snowman? When are you allowed to start swearing? With a torrent of consciousness and an intoxicating coziness, Ducks, Newburyport lays out a whole world for you to tramp around in, by turns frightening and funny. A heart-rending indictment of America's barbarity, and a lament for the way we are blundering into environmental disaster, this book is both heresýђؤand a revolution in the novel. |
