02.12: David Treuer

2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar

On a sweltering day in August 1942, Frankie Washburn returns to his family's rustic Minnesota resort for one last visit before he joins the war as a bombardier. Awaiting him are those he's about to leave behind: his hovering mother; the distant father to whom he's been a disappointment; the Indian caretaker who's been more of a father to him than his own; and Billy, the childhood friend who over the years has become something much more intimate. But before the homecoming can be celebrated, the search for a German soldier, escaped from the POW camp across the river, explodes in a shocking act of violence. With Prudence (Riverhead), David Treuer delivers his most ambitious and captivating novel yet. Powerful and wholly original, it's a story of desire and loss and the search for connection in a riven world. Most profoundly, it's about the secrets we choose to keep, the ones we can't help but tell, and who — and how — we're allowed to love.
