Über diesen Titel
Five years after moving into the isolated house in rural Oregon where her husband lived as a child, the protagonist of “Victor’s Room” begins to doubt her husband’s account of his family’s past. In “Round Lake,” a young woman’s plans to meet a lover in Tokyo are upended when she learns a startling truth about her mother’s death. In “Owl,” winner of an O. Henry Award, a fur trapper reckons with the dreadful origins of his marriage after his wife is brutally injured by four adolescent boys.
Haunting and psychologically provocative, and set against the vivid backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, Nightjar illuminates the secret, instinctive knowledge that lies just under the surface of our awareness.
Kritikerstimmen
Praise for Nightjar
“These are marvelous and unsettling stories. Ruskovich’s prose is lambent, the relationships between her characters are thorny, complex, and mesmerizing, and the shapes of her stories constantly surprise. I loved Nightjar.”—Kelly Link, bestselling author of The Book of Love
“These are exquisite short stories. They disturb, delight, and linger long after finishing.”—Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
Praise for Emily Ruskovich
“You know you’re in masterly hands here. . . . Wrenching and beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Sensuous, exquisitely crafted.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Riveting . . . exquisitely rendered with masterful language and imagery . . . powerful and deeply moving.”—The Washington Post
“Shatteringly original . . . upturns everything you think you know about story. . . . You could read Idaho just for the sheer beauty of the prose, the expert way Ruskovich makes everything strange and yet absolutely familiar. . . . She startles with images so fresh, they make you see the world anew.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Ruskovich’s prose is immensely seductive.”—The Boston Globe
“Haunting, propulsive and gorgeously written.”—People
“Ruskovich knows how to build a page-turner from the opening paragraph.”—Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
“Ruskovich’s prose is lyrical but keen, a poem that never gets lost in its own rhythm . . . with a Marilynne Robinson–like emphasis on the private, painfully human contemplation going on inside the characters’ brains. The result is writing as bruisingly beautiful as the Idaho landscape.”—A.V. Club
