Klappentext zu „The Good Father “
If the child you loved committed a terrible crime - the shooting of a charismatic Presidential candidate - who would you blame? How can we understand the random, pointless violence that rips apart our otherwise comfortable western lives? Dr Paul Allen needs answers and his search takes him all over America, until he arrives at the place he always knew he would have to look: himself. Following the trail of his son's fatal last journey across America, Allen's quest is both a suspenseful drama and a searing meditation on conspiracy theory, gun culture, marriage and parenthood.

Rezension zu „The Good Father “
Praise for THE GOOD FATHER: "The father of a man who assassinates a presidential candidate tries to make sense of his son's crime in Hawley's gripping new novel...With great skill, Hawley renders Dr. Allen's treacherous emotional geography, from his shock and guilt to his growing sense that he knows far less about his son than he thought...Hawley's complicated protagonist is a fully fathomed and beautifully realized character whose emotional growth never slows a narrative that races toward a satisfying and touching conclusion.""--Publishers Weekly, starred review"""The Good Father" is hypnotic and haunting and I lost all track of time when I was reading it. Suddenly the day had become night and still I was engrossed in one father's poignant story and Noah Hawley's mesmeric tales of a long litany of assassins."--Chris Bohjalian, author of "The Night Strangers, The Double Bind, " and "Secrets of Eden" "Brilliant and heartbreaking, "The Good Father" is a thriller, a mystery and above all else a savagely contemporary, hugely important story about the relationship between a father and the boy he left behind in his first, failed marriage. This is a rare and important book, and it will haunt the reader for a long time. It is impossible to read the final pages without weeping, and hard to read any of it without taking a long hard look at your own life, and the damage we do when we dare to love, or let love slip away."--Tony Parsons, author of "Man and Boy" "This book pulls off something close to impossible. It's both a thriller and a moving, literary novel. A tender father/son story I couldn't put down, a page-turner with depth." -- Stephen Elliott, author of "The Adderall Diaries"
