Beschreibung
Will Andrews bricht sein Studium ab, um im Westen Freiheit, Hoffnung und das Ursprüngliche der Natur zu finden. Doch sein neues Leben stellt ihn auf eine harte Probe. Nach "Stoner" kann nun ein weiterer Roman, des bereits 1994 verstorbenen amerikanischen Schriftstellers John Williams wiederentdeckt werden. A fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western that dismantles the myths of modern America. An American classic.
