New Releases by Hannah Tinti

After years spent living on the run, Samuel Hawley and his daughter Loo finally settle in Olympus, Massachusetts. Hawley takes up fishing, while Loo struggles with friendship and first love, and tries to piece together the puzzle surrounding her mother''s death. Haunting them both are the twelve scars Hawley carries on his body, from twelve bullets in his criminal past - a past that is about to spill over into Loo''s present, with explosive consequences.

Loo und ihr Vater Hawley brauchen nur einander. Aber nach Jahren des gemeinsamen Umherziehens beschließt Hawley, mit Loo in Olympus sesshaft zu werden. Doch die Geheimnisse um den Tod von Loos Mutter und Hawleys dunkle Vergangenheit machen sowohl die Bewohner von Olympus als auch Loo misstrauisch.

Samuel Hawley n''est pas un père tout à fait comme les autres. C''est un marginal, un esprit libre qui a vécu sur la route pendant des années, commettant cambriolages et larcins. C''est aussi un passionné d''armes à feu et, dès que sa fille Loo atteint l''âge de douze ans, il lui en enseigne le maniement dans un bois du Massachusetts. Les armes ont marqué sa vie tout comme son corps, criblé de douze impacts de balle, autant d''histoires importantes dans le destin de cet homme que l''auteur entreprend de raconter. Elles viennent entrecouper l''autre histoire, celle de la quête que mène Loo pour en savoir plus sur sa mère, morte tragiquement peu après sa naissance. Lorsque les événements du passé de Samuel les rattrapent tous les deux et leur font vivre ensemble une dangereuse aventure, il apparaît clairement qu''elle est décidément bien la fille de son père. Hannah Tinti compose une épopée exaltante à travers les États-Unis, depuis l''Alaska jusqu''aux Adirondacks, aux accents réjouissants de western, à mi-chemin entre Bonnie and Clyde, Tarantino et les frères Coen.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A gripping American-on-the-run thriller . . . a brilliant coming-of-age tale and a touching exploration of father-daughter relationships.”—Newsweek “One part Quentin Tarantino, one part Scheherazade, and twelve parts wild innovation.”—Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The Washington Post • Paste Samuel Hawley isn’t like the other fathers in Olympus, Massachusetts. A loner who spent years living on the run, he raised his beloved daughter, Loo, on the road, moving from motel to motel, always watching his back. Now that Loo’s a teenager, Hawley wants only to give her a normal life. In his late wife’s hometown, he finds work as a fisherman, while Loo struggles to fit in at the local high school. Growing more and more curious about the mother she never knew, Loo begins to investigate. Soon, everywhere she turns, she encounters the mysteries of her parents’ lives before she was born. This hidden past is made all the more real by the twelve scars her father carries on his body. Each scar is from a bullet Hawley took over the course of his criminal career. Each is a memory: of another place on the map, another thrilling close call, another moment of love lost and found. As Loo uncovers a history that’s darker than she could have known, the demons of her father’s past spill over into the present—and together both Hawley and Loo must face a reckoning yet to come. Praise for The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley “A master class in literary suspense.”—The Washington Post “Tinti depicts brutality and compassion with exquisite sensitivity, creating a powerful overlay of love and pain.”—The New Yorker “Hannah Tinti’s beautifully constructed second novel . . . uses the scars on Hawley’s body—all twelve bullet wounds, one by one—to show who he is, what he’s done, and why the past chases and clings to him with such tenacity.”—The Boston Globe “The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley is an adventure epic with the deeper resonance of myth. . . . Tinti exhibits an aptitude for shining a piercing light into the corners of her characters’ hearts and minds.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Praise for The Good Thief "Every once in a while—if you are very lucky—you come upon a novel so marvelous and enchanting and rare that you wish everyone in the world would read it, as well. The Good Thief is just such a book—a beautifully composed work of literary magic."—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love "Darkly transporting . . . [In] The Good Thief, the reader can find plain-spoken fiction full of traditional virtues: strong plotting, pure lucidity, visceral momentum and a total absence of writerly mannerisms. In Ms. Tinti’s case that means an American Dickensian tale with touches of Harry Potterish whimsy, along with a macabre streak of spooky New England history."—New York Times

Verdadeiros animais'' é composto de 11 contos surpreendentes. Em todos eles, a narrativa crua e direta da autora exerce impacto sobre o leitor, seja pelo mistério da trama, seja pelas características de seus personagens, pelo bizarro das situações ou pela simples constatação de que os animais, no livro, funcionam não exatamente como metáforas, mas como um reflexo distorcido das agruras e desventuras humanas. No primeiro conto, que dá nome ao livro, um tratador de animais faz considerações sobre a sua vida e a de alguns colegas de trabalho enquanto dá banho numa elefanta. No emaranhado de histórias que vêm à tona, as relações entre homens e bichos ganham conotação inesperada. Em ''Melhores condições'', um trio de girafas protagoniza uma greve no zoológico da cidade. Nos demais contos, há sempre uma espécie de animal que atua como coadjuvante da trama, realçando a solidão, o medo e a morbidez do comportamento humano. A ficção de Hannah Tinti possui alguns momentos de humor graças à fina ironia presente em várias histórias. Em comum nos 11 contos, está a crueza com que a autora descreve os momentos mais escatológicos, a aparente indiferença com que ela traz à tona os sentimentos mais contraditórios do homem.

I denne novellesamlingen forteller Hannah Tinti burleske "dyreskrøner". Vi får møte vanlige kjæledyr, men også iguaner og slanger og sjiraffer og elefanter i en zoologisk hage. I noen av historien ser vi alt fra dyrets synsvinkel, i andre har dyret en langt mer underordnet rolle. De fleste novellene foregår i småbyer i Massachusetts.
