Overview
CENTENARIO DEL NACIMIENTO DE JOHN WILLIAMS
Pronto en las pantallas, en un Oeste dirigido por Gabe Polsky y protagonizado por Nicolas Cage y Rachel Keller.
Con su fulgurante Stoner, John Williams fue, junto a Lucia Berlin, el gran redescubrimiento de la literatura estadounidense y fascinó a millones de lectores. Lumen recupera su grandiosa y conmovedora primera novela.
Corren los años setenta del siglo XIX y el joven Will Andrews, recién graduado en la Universidad de Harvard, decide dejar el bullicio de la gran ciudad e irse al Oeste para encontrar un lazo de unión con la naturaleza. Por el camino, Will recala en una aldea de Kansas llamada Butcher’s Crossing, un lugar donde la única diversión es tomar copas con hombres que han perdido ya muchas batallas y acariciar a mujeres cansadas de tanto traficar con el placer. Todo parece tristemente anodino en ese pueblo alejado de las aventuras soñadas por Will hasta que el muchacho traba amistad con Miller, un experimentado cazador de búfalos. Miller y Andrews, seguidos por otros dos compañeros, emprenden una aventura que los llevará a una pradera de ensueño donde esos animales abundan. Uno tras otro, los búfalos caen, pero el invierno acecha y la codicia de los hombres se cobrará su precio.
John Williams, que ya deslumbró con Stoner, nos sorprende ahora con un espléndido texto de iniciación a la vida que «allanó el camino para Cormac McCarthy y tal vez fue el primer y mejor western revisionista», según The New York Times Book Review.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Coming soon as an American Western drama film, directed by Gabe Polsky and starring Nicolas Cage and Rachel Keller.
In his National Book Award–winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher’s Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.
It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek “an original relation to nature,” drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher’s Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher’s Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher’s Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.
