Book excerpt: “Dazzling…. Vann knows the darkness but he writes from the compassionate light of art. This is an essential book.” —Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain “Exceptional….An unflinching portrait of bad faith and bad dreams.” —Ron Rash, author of Burning Bright Set against the backdrop of Alaska’s unforgiving wilderness, Caribou Island is David Vann’s dark and captivating tale of a marriage pulled apart by rage and regret. With this eagerly anticipated debut novel, a masterful follow-up to his internationally bestselling short fiction anthology, Legend of a Suicide, Vann takes up the mantle of Louise Erdrich, Marilyn Robinson, and Rick Moody, delivering a powerfully wrought, enthrallingly emotional narrative of struggle and isolation.
Download or read book Legend of a Suicide written by David Vann and published by Univ of Massachusetts Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In "Ichthyology," a young boy watches his father spiral from divorce to suicide. The story is told obliquely, often through the boy's observations of his tropical fish, yet also reveals his father's last desperate moves, including quitting dentistry for commercial fishing in the Bering Sea. "Rhoda" goes back to the beginning of the father's second marriage and the boy's fascination with his stepmother, who has one partially closed eye. This eye becomes a metaphor for the adult world the boy can't yet see into, including sexuality and despair, which feel like the key initiating elements of the father's eventual suicide. "A Legend of Good Men" tells the story of the boy's life with his mother after his father's death through the series of men she dates." "In "Sukkwan Island," an extraordinary novella, the father invites the boy homesteading for a year on a remote island in the southeastern Alaskan wilderness. As the situation spins out of control, the son witnesses his father's despair and takes matters into his own hands. In "Ketchikan," the boy is now thirty years old, searching for the origin of ruin. He tracks down Gloria, the woman his father first cheated with, and is left with the sense of "a world held in place, as it turned out, by nothing at all." Set in Fairbanks, where the author's father actually killed himself, "The Higher Blue" provides an epilogue to the collection."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Caribou Island written by David Vann and published by Bezige Bij b.v., Uitgeverij De. This book was released on 2011-09-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Op een klein eiland in een meer in Alaska valt langzaam een huwelijk uiteen. Gary en zijn vrouw Irene, die nog altijd achtervolgd wordt door een traumatische ervaring uit haar verleden, proberen nog één keer te redden wat er te redden valt. In een poging een oude droom van Gary te verwezenlijken, bouwen ze onder barre weersomstandigheden een blokhut op Caribou Island. Op het vasteland fantaseert Rhoda, dochter van Gary en Irene, over een perfecte huwelijksdag, terwijl haar aanstaande man, de tandarts Jim, er heel andere toekomstfantasieën op na houdt. Na het alom bejubelde Legende van een zelfmoord keert David Vann terug met een verwoestende roman over het huwelijk. De personages zijn overtuigend, de emoties levensecht en de setting is prachtig. Caribou Island bevestigt dat Vann tot de groten van de hedendaagse literatuur behoort.
