Für »Tinkers« wurde Paul Harding mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichnet. Nun schreibt er die Geschichte der Familie Crosby, die in dem Städtchen Enon in Maine lebt, fort. Er erzählt vom Enkel George Washington Crosbys, davon, wie Charlie Crosby seine Familie verliert und fast auch seine Existenz. Grandiose Sprachbilder, intensive Naturbeobachtungen, visionäre Träume und immer wieder Erinnerungen, schmerzhaft und süß, bestimmen diesen herzzerreißenden Roman über Zeit und Sterblichkeit und den Verlust eines geliebten Menschen. »Die meisten Männer aus meiner Familie machen ihre Frauen zu Witwen und ihre Kinder zu Waisen. Ich bin die Ausnahme. Mein einziges Kind, Kate, wurde mit dreizehn von einem Auto angefahren und getötet, als sie mit dem Fahrrad vom Strand nach Hause fuhr.« Damit beginnt die Geschichte von Charlie Crosby aus Enon, von seinem Weg durch die Hölle und, vielleicht, wieder zurück. Denn seine Trauer ist so maßlos, so allumfassend und unversöhnlich, dass sie sein Leben immer mehr zerstört. Seine Frau verlässt ihn bald nach dem Tod der Tochter, und Charlie, der sich in einem seiner Wutanfälle die Hand gebrochen hat, ernährt sich seitdem mehr oder weniger von Schmerztabletten und Alkohol und verwahrlost zusehends. Er kann sich um die Außenwelt nicht mehr kümmern, zu sehr nimmt ihn sein Innenleben gefangen: Gegenwart und Vergangenheit durchdringen sich, Erinnerungen an den verstorbenen Großvater, lange Spaziergänge und Vogelbeobachtungen in den Wäldern von Maine, die Geschichte von Enon und auch von Salem, das ganz in der Nähe liegt, und seinen Hexen in früheren Zeiten – all das bestimmt seine Gedanken und sein Sein. Vor allem aber sind da immer wieder Erlebnisse und Gespräche mit seiner über alles geliebten Tochter, Entwürfe verschiedener Leben, die er mit ihr hätte erleben wollen. Denn er kann und will ihren Tod nicht akzeptieren ...

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY The Wall Street Journal • American Library Association • Kirkus Reviews A stunning allegorical novel about one man’s enduring love for his daughter In Enon, Paul Harding follows a year in the life of Charlie Crosby as he tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby (the protagonist of Tinkers), Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie’s encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history, and his yearning to understand the big questions. A stunning mosaic of human experience, Enon affirms Paul Harding as “a contemporary master and one of our most important writers” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. “Harding conveys the common but powerful bond of parental love with devastating accuracy. . . . [He] is a major voice in American fiction.”—Chicago Tribune “Paul Harding’s novel Tinkers won the Pulitzer Prize; its stunning successor, Enon, only raises the bar.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Extraordinary . . . a darkly intoxicating read . . . [Harding’s] prose is steeped in a visionary, transcendentalist tradition that echoes Blake, Rilke, Emerson, and Thoreau.”—The New Yorker “So wild and riveting it’s practically an aria . . . Harding is a superb stylist.”—Entertainment Weekly “[Charlie’s grief], shaped by a gifted writer’s caressing attention, can bring about moments of what Charlie calls ‘brokenhearted joy.’”—The Wall Street Journal “Astonishing . . . a work of fiction that feels authentic as memoir.”—Financial Times “Read Enon to live longer in the harsh, gorgeous atmosphere that Paul Harding has created.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Paul Harding fik i 2010 Pultzerprisen for ''de små ting'' – som den første debutant i ti år.

Vencedor do prêmio Pulitzer"A restauração das horas é realmente incrível, uma rara combinação entre linguagem e sensibilidade. E dá ao leitor a maior dádiva que a literatura pode oferecer: a ilusão da proximidade para com outros seres humanos." — Marilynne Robinson, vencedora do prêmio Pulitzer e autora de Gilead e Em casa"Uma magnífica estreia. A verdadeira joia aqui é a linguagem de Harding, que impressiona em suas descrições sobre mecanismos de relógios, percepções da natureza e os muitos e fascinantes personagens secundários que povoam o livro. Trata-se de um caso particularmente exuberante de habilidade para contar histórias." — Publishers WeeklyUm velho homem está morrendo. Confinado a uma cama em sua sala, ele observa enquanto as paredes ao seu redor desmoronam, as janelas se soltam de sua moldura e o teto de gesso desaba em grandes blocos, soterrando-o junto aos escombros de uma vida inteira: recortes de jornais, fotografias antigas, pulôveres de lã, ferramentas enferrujadas e engrenagens distorcidas de relógios mecânicos. Em seguida, as nuvens do céu despencam sobre ele, e então as estrelas, até que a noite negra o cobre como um sudário. Essa é a sua alucinação, nos estertores da morte por câncer e insuficiência renal. Outrora um metódico relojoeiro, agora ele está finalmente livre das amarras cotidianas do tempo e da memória para se juntar ao pai, um funileiro epiléptico que o havia deixado sete décadas antes. Em seu retorno ao assombro e à dor de uma infância pobre no interior dos Estados Unidos, ele se reconecta a um mundo natural que é ao mesmo tempo indiferente ao homem e dele inseparável, ameaçador e inspirador.

Chi non è rimasto almeno una volta incantato dal mondo misterioso dei venditori ambulanti, dai loro carretti così carichi di oggetti semplici, ingegnosi, meccanici, che essi sapevano riparare grazie a un''arte tramandata da tempo immemorabile? È questo il mondo da cui proviene George Washington Crosby; è questo il mondo a cui ritorna mentre, steso su un letto d''ospedale al centro del soggiorno della sua casa nel New England, si prepara a concludere la sua vita circondato dai famigliari e accompagnato dal tintinnio dei suoi orologi cui per anni si è dedicato come meticoloso restauratore. Meravigliosi meccanismi di tutte le epoche e fogge che sono stati a lungo il legame, negato ma indissolubile, con il mondo della sua infanzia e di suo padre Howard, un uomo silenzioso, sognante, poetico, il quale stentatamente manteneva quattro figli e una moglie insoddisfatta girovagando con il suo carro pieno di mercanzie tra i boschi del Maine. Il carro arrivava insieme al suo solitario guidatore a offrire spazzole, polvere dentifricia, calze di nylon, crema da barba, lucido da scarpe, manici di scopa, pentole, e persino gioielli da quattro soldi a donne rudi e senza più sogni, a uomini che finivano troppo presto le loro scorte di gin e sigarette, a eremiti in un mondo dominato dalle stagioni, dal sole e dal gelo, dagli alberi, dai laghi e dai ruscelli, da leggende e da poche parole. Mentre le funzioni vitali lo abbandonano, George ritrova Howard così come non aveva mai permesso a se stesso di immaginarlo, e di quell''uomo simile a un veggente rivede anche i segni dell''incurabile e misteriosa malattia: l''epilessia. Un dramma che era quasi in sintonia con quella natura imprevedibile e spesso impetuosa in cui il venditore ambulante viveva immerso: un eccesso di energia, di elettricità lo colpiva così come il fulmine colpisce il bosco, e lo lasciava stordito e sanguinante dopo angosciosi minuti trascorsi sul pavimento a scalciare, rovesciare le lampade, sbattere la testa sulle assi, mentre i denti mordevano un bastoncino. Oppure le dita del figlio, di George adolescente che in seguito, per anni, non aveva più saputo se odiare o amare quel padre folle, ma che ora finalmente riesce a incontrare, e solamente ad amare. L''ultimo inverno è un romanzo d''esordio di rara potenza espressiva, dominato da un linguaggio plasmato dalla penna di un grande scrittore, un romanzo sull''America di ieri e di oggi che parla dell''amore tra un padre e un figlio, della fierezza della natura, del ricordo e della fantasia.

La 4ème de couverture porte en plus : "Un vieil homme meurt. Allongé sur un lit d''hôpital installé au centre de son salon, entouré de sa famille, épouse, soeur, enfants et petits-enfants qui se relaient pour le nourrir, le laver, lui faire la lecture, George, un ancien horloger, sent le temps se déliter et le monde lui échapper. Dans le chaos de cette agonie, se précipitent les souvenirs. Notamment ceux de son père, Howard, représentant de commerce dans un coin rural et sauvage de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, qui parcourait la lande avec une charrette remplie d''articles divers, clous, savon, tabac, vaisselle, etc. Amoureux de la nature, Howard s''égarait parfois et, oubliant sa tournée, pouvait s''arrêter des heures au bord d''un ruisseau, dans un champ, dans les bois... et s''y dissimuler le temps que cessent les terribles crises d''épilepsie qui le terrassaient et qui étaient le secret honteux de la famille. Les Foudroyés est un roman tout en vibrations, un éloge de la contemplation active. Harding y décortique le monde pour nous en montrer tous les rouages, le monde naturel, le monde des horloges, plusieurs générations d''une même famille, un cerveau épileptique, l''âme des hommes. Sa langue étonnante semble parfois frappée par la foudre, parfois aussi subtile que le mécanisme d''une horloge. Le lecteur y fait l''expérience généreuse de l''émerveillement. "

De oude George Washington Crosby ligt op sterven, omringd door zijn liefhebbende familie. Tussen waken en slapen, leven en dood, denkt George terug aan zijn kindertijd. Aan zijn vader Howard, die altijd op pad was als ketellapper en handelsreiziger. Aan diens epileptische aanvallen, zo hevig dat hij George een keer in zijn hand beet, tot op het bot. Aan de dag dat Howard ontdekte dat zijn vrouw hem in een inrichting wilde laten opnemen, en hij niet meer thuiskwam. Kwikzilver is het intieme verhaal van een vader en een zoon, van liefde en verlies, van de pracht van de natuur en de wreedheid van de mens.
