E. Annie Proulx Libros

The tale of the Blood family, New England farmers who must confront the twentieth century--and their own extinction

Pulitzer Prize–winning author Annie Proulx brings the immigrant experience to life in this stunning novel that traces the ownership of a simple green accordion. E. Annie Proulx’s <i>Accordion Crimes</i> is a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. Proulx brings the immigrant experience in America to life through the eyes of the descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Africans, Irish-Scots, Franco-Canadians and many others, all linked by their successive ownership of a simple green accordion. The music they make is their last link with the past—voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance. Proulx’s prodigious knowledge, unforgettable characters and radiant language make <i>Accordion Crimes</i> a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality.

Een oude accordeon is eigendom geweest van allerlei immigranten, die met hun cultuur en muziek langzaam aan opgaan in de Amerikaanse smeltkroes.
