Like the pacing, the gaps between scenes. Sometimes things can be unbelievable ( ) Cobertizo es un huérfano sin origen que sólo puede entender las palabras recién aprendidas de un idioma ajeno y su amor por un cowboy de ojos verdes que podría ser su padre. El hombre que se enamoró de la luna persigue el camino místico de Cobertizo en busca de su propia identidad, un camino sembrado de falsas pistas. Lecture étrange, qui m'a été conseillée. Le personnage principal, en quête d'identité, est attachant. Le contexte est intéressant: Amérique profonde, indiens, mormons, esclaves nouvellement affranchis... Mais le scénario n'est pas des plus transcendant et le côté cru de certains passages n'est pas forcément à mon goût. De belles scènes d'amour et d'amitié intenses cependant. On his podcast, Sherman Alexie mentioned Tom Spanbauer's novel to be a good depiction of Native Americans written by a white author. Along with this resounding compliment Spanbauer also manages to present a completely different take on the American West. The importance of relationships, honesty and community in a harsh and racist landscape is profoundly articulated in this novel where the pace circles but never ceases to engage the reader. The voice of Shed, guiding the reader through his world of Excellent, Idaho is distinct, funny and insightful. Gehört zu VerlagsreihenGoldmann (41467) AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
Set against the harsh reality of an unforgiving landscape and culture, The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon provides a vision of the Old West unlike anything seen before. The narrator, Shed, is one of the most memorable characters in contemporary fiction: a half-Indian bisexual boy who lives and works at the Indian Head Hotel in the tiny town of Excellent, Idaho. It's the turn of the century, and the hotel carries on a prosperous business as the town's brothel. The eccentric characters working in the hotel provide Shed with a surrogate family, yet he finds in himself a growing need to learn the meaning of his Indian name, Duivichi-un-Dua, given to him by his mother, who was murdered when he was twelve. Setting off alone across the haunting plains, Shed goes in search of an identity among his true people, encountering a rich pageant of extraordinary characters along the way. Although he learns a great deal about the mysteries and traditions of his Indian heritage, it is not untilShed returns to Excellent and witnesses a series of brutal tragedies that he attains the wisdom that infuses this exceptional and captivating book.
