DESCRIPCIÓN:

Review "Béchard, also a journalist who has reported from all over the world, gifts us with an observant, lyrical, and powerful consideration of the violent expansiveness and dangerously flawed stories North American fathers have bequeathed to their sons. Tough of mind and tender of heart, its beauty is wholly entrancing." San Francisco Chronicle "A novel in stories, Béchard's fourth work of fiction follows one family from 19th-century Canada to modern Iraq, through war and spiritual yearning." New York Times Book Review, "New & Noteworthy" "Béchard (White) continues his interest in the relationship between myths and fiction writing in this complex, captivating tale . . . [He] provides rich insight into his characters' search for meaning through art." Publishers Weekly "Fundamentally, A Song from Faraway invites readers to participate in storytelling, to move through uncertainty toward clarity. When we hover between selves, when we lead double lives, when we ask impossible questions, 'We blend with others. We glimpse what else we might become.'" World Literature Today "A brilliant, gorgeous novel like nothing I've ever read before. With perfect sentences, Béchard writes about vulnerable lives, churning for recognition and purpose beneath the forces of history. The scope of this novel and the complexity of its characters is astounding. This book will make you rethink the incredible power of the stories we tell about ourselves and our inglorious past." Jen Percy, author of Demon Camp "Lavish and seductive, gloriously kaleidoscopic in conception, Deni Ellis Béchard's A Song from Faraway is a tremendous literary achievement and a page-turner. I fell under its spell completely." Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen A Song from Faraway brings us around the world, singing a song about the folly of truth. It is unsettling and playful and uncanny and breathtaking. Deni Ellis Béchard does in this work what a novel should do; he makes it new and spellbinds us with it.Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer Brave and complex, A Song from Faraway is prose of the highest order, offering a masterclass of characters that have nowhere to hide under the harsh light of their flawed lives. In this blanched terrain, Béchard proves himself to be a magician of a storyteller, deftly commanding the reader's attention with one hand while the other produces surprise after magnificent surprise.Dimitri Nasrallah Powerful, intimate, and compelling, Béchards novel will take your breath away. He shows us how fiction meets and transforms history to become fiction again, how what seems farawayour fathers battles, ancient art, the people we loveis nearby, and how mystery continues to propel both our histories and our private lives. Johanna Skibsrud Praise for White A compelling literary fantasia . . . Béchards fifth book blends fiction, literary and cultural criticism, parody and memoir. . . . It is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.Minneapolis Star Tribune A tale that feel like James Michener and Gabriel Garcia Márquez joined forces to craft a meditation on race. . . . In White, there is nothing clean cut about the way whiteness manifests in geopolitics. . . . Captivating, careening, thrilling, and magical, this is intelligent entertainment.Foreword Reviews (starred review) Whites self-aware, self-immolating interrogation of colonialism, whiteness, and fiction makes for a smart and dizzying feat of writing.Meridian Remarkable . . . White is a thriller, an adventure story, a literary novel that interrogates what the possession of whiteness means to those seen as white. His novel also crosses the boundary of the what defines a novel.Signature Praise for Into the Sun Into the Sun is a ferociously intelligent and intensely gripping portrait of the expatriate community in Kabulthe idealists, mercenaries, aid workers, and journalists circling around a war offering them promises of purpose, redemption, or cash, while the local
