An Oprah Book Club® selection A New York Times Notable Book The Mulvaneys are blessed by all that makes life sweet. But something happens on Valentine’s Day, 1976—an incident that is hushed up in the town and never spoken of in the Mulvaney home—that rends the fabric of their family life...with tragic consequences. Years later, the youngest son attempts to piece together the fragments of the Mulvaneys’ former glory, seeking to uncover and understand the secret violation that brought about the family’s tragic downfall. Profoundly cathartic, this extraordinary novel unfolds as if Oates, in plumbing the darkness of the human spirit, has come upon a source of light at its core. Moving away from the dark tone of her more recent masterpieces, Joyce Carol Oates turns the tale of a family struggling to cope with its fall from grace into a deeply moving and unforgettable account of the vigor of hope and the power of love to prevail over suffering. “It’s the novel closest to my heart....I’m deeply moved that Oprah Winfrey has selected this novel for Oprah’s Book Club, a family novel presented to Oprah’s vast American family.”—Joyce Carol Oates
Le prime vertiginose avventure di Hap e Leonard, la coppia di detective più strampalata e divertente del noir «made in Usa». Tre romanzi avvincenti dalla prima all'ultima pagina. Una bionda esplosiva che torna dal passato, un milione di dollari sporchi da recuperare nel letto di un fiume ghiacciato, una strana banda di spostati che non ha perso la voglia di cambiare il mondo, lo scheletro di un bambino nascosto sotto il pavimento, un'eredità inattesa, case fatiscenti, musicisti blues. E ancora: magia nera, sesso, horror e un umorismo strepitoso, che in Lansdale non manca mai.
Il precedente romanzo di James Morrow, "L'ultimo viaggio di Dio", si concludeva con Dio che riposava, apparentemente morto, nella sua tomba tra i ghiacci dell'Artico. In questo nuovo romanzo la Santa Sede ha deciso di vendere il corpus dei alla Confederazione battista americana. I nuovi proprietari, convinti che un resto di vita spiri ancora nelle divine membra, hanno collegato il corpo a una gigantesca macchina cuore-polmoni e ne hanno fatto l'attrazione principale di un parco giochi a tema biblico. Ma Martin Candle, giudice di pace di Abaddon, Pennsylvania, ha deciso di portare Dio davanti alla Corte internazionale dell'Aia e di processarlo per tutte le ingiustizie e le catastrofi che hanno colpito nei secoli il genere umano.
