Produktinformationen zu „Townie “
I've never read a better or more serious meditation on violence, its sources, consequences, and, especially, its terrifying pleasures, than "Townie." It's a brutal and, yes, thrilling memoir that sheds real light on the creative process of two of our best writers, Andre Dubus III and his famous, much revered father. You'll never read the work of either man in quite the same way afterward. You may not view the world in quite the same way either.--Richard Russo, author of "Empire Falls."
Klappentext zu „Townie “
After their parents divorced in the 1970s, Andre Dubus III and his three siblings grew up with their exhausted working mother in a depressed Massachusetts mill town saturated with drugs and crime. To protect himself and those he loved from street violence, Andre learned to use his fists so well that he was even scared of himself. He was on a fast track to getting killed - or killing someone else - or to beatings-for-pay as a boxer.

Rezension zu „Townie “
Townie is a better, harder book than anything the younger Mr. Dubus has yet written; it pays off on every bet that s been placed on him.... Mr. Dubus s prose is clear, supple, unshowy....you ll agree with the boxing coach who said to Mr. Dubus as a teenager, 'I think you got the killer instinct, kid.'
