内容简介
The new novel from the award-winning author of The End of
Vandalism is a wry and sophisticated heist drama. Set in the
rugged region of the Midwest that gives the novel its title, The
Driftless Area is the story of Pierre Hunter, a young bartender
with unfailing optimism, a fondness for coin tricks, and an uncanny
capacity for finding trouble. When he falls in love, with the
mysterious and isolated Stella Rosmarin, Pierre becomes the central
player in a revenge drama he must unravel and bring to its shocking
conclusion. Along the way he will liberate $77,000 from a murderous
thief, summon the resources that have eluded him all his life, and
come to question the very meaning of chance and mortality. For
nothing is as it seems in The Driftless Area. Identities
shift, violent secrets lie in wait, the future can cause the past,
and love becomes a mission that can take you beyond this world. In
its tender, cool irony, The Driftless Area recalls the best
of neonoir, and its cast of bona fide small-town eccentrics adrift
in the American Midwest make for a clever and deeply pleasurable
read from one of our most beloved authors.
