Our reviewers cast their eyes over new fiction and non-fiction releases
weaves a contemporary masterpiece of American literature from despoliations wrought by the soul of empire. It’s a tale of doomed romance to match– which several characters read – set among sugar beet farms and the fossil fuel industry, under the regressive hand of Catholicism in rural America. Former goth and book nerd Kismet Poe is dragooned into marrying jock Gary Geist, heir to two farms.
The melancholy Gorski, eyes sharpened by social isolation and disenchantment, is involved in a series of low-key investigations: a hotel manager reporting a foreigner acting suspiciously; a housebound woman who claims her son has gone mad, killed her dog and is trying to poison her, all of which her son denies; and a local factory owner who drops dead of an apparent heart attack, although a solid conclusion of natural causes might be premature.
