Produktinformationen zu „The Boat “
A dazzling, emotionally riveting debut collection: that takes us into the hearts and minds of characters from all over the world. Whether Nam Le is conjuring the story of 14-year-old Juan, a hit man in Colombia; or an aging painter mourning the death of his much-younger lover; or a young refugee fleeing Vietnam, crammed in the ship's hold with 200 others, the result is unexpectedly moving and powerful. "Wonderful stories that snarl and pant across our crazed world . . . an extraordinary performance by a fine new talent. Nam Le is a heartbreaker, not easily forgotten." Junot Diaz

Rezension zu „The Boat “
"* 'From the very first page of The Boat, Nam Le's extraordinary talent, range of vision, and moral courage make the reader sit up and take notice. By the last page, one feels a kind of fervent gratitude - rare enough these days - for having been introduced to a young writer whose mark on the literary world, so freshly made, will only grow deeper in the years to come.' - John Burnham Schwartz * 'Nam Le writes with a rare blend of courage and beauty... Book your passage on The Boat. You will not forget the people you meet on the voyage.' - Chris Offutt * 'The Boat is tremendous, challenging and ambitious, worthy of the same shelf that holds Dubliners and The Things They Carried - like those works, it asks to be read as a whole and taken seriously as a book... this book nails our collective now, our kairos, with an urgency and relevance that feels visionary.' - Charles D'Ambrosio * 'The Boat is an impressive feat, and the debut of a very talented writer.' - Adam Haslett"
