The French Bookshop :: Litterature Generale :: Etats Unis :: Hart Brian : Then Came the Evening (English)

Bandy Dorner, home from Vietnam, awakes with his car mired in a canal, his cabin reduced to ashes, and his pregnant wife preparing to leave town with her lover. Within moments, a cop lies bleeding on the road.
Eighteen years later, Bandy is released from prison. He returns to the derelict family ranch, where he faces a strange reunion. His now teenaged son has come to claim the father he's never known. Hot on his heels is his mother, Bandy's ex-wife.
All three are damaged, hardened, haunted. But warily, desperately, they move in a slow dance around each other, trying to piece back together a family that never was, trying to discover if they belong together at all ..

'Told with a stark narrative voice that reflects the harsh unforgiving subject, the comparisons to Cormac McCarthy are coming thick and fast.' (GQ)
'Then Came the Evening shows the hidden America, a world of remote holdings, long memories, fierce yearnings and violent strivings. Rare and memorable.' (Colm Toibin)
