Críticas:
Praise for Nightwoods

"Nightwoods is no typical thriller....its dazzling sentences are so meticulously constructed that you find yourself rereading them, trying to unpack their magic...the unhurried, poetic suspense is both difficult to bear and IMPOSSIBLE TO SHAKE."--Entertainment Weekly

"FANTASTIC ... an Appalachian Gothic with a low-level fever that runs alternately warm and chilling." --The Washington Post

"No writer today crafts more exquisite sentences than Charles Frazier." --USA Today

"ASTUTE AND COMPASSIONATE . . .a virtuoso construction . . . with wickedly wry dialogue reminiscent of the best of Charles Portis, Larry Brown, and Cormac McCarthy." --The Boston Globe

"HIS BEST BOOK TO DATE. Frazier's exquisitely efficient style is matched by some finely tuned suspense." --The Times (London)

"Frazier has taken a fast-paced genre and subverted it at every turn, offering a closer look at the nature of good and evil and how those forces ebb and flow over time." --Atlanta Journal Constitution

..".[A] taut narrative of love and suspense, told against a gritty background of bootlegging and violence. The characters are rich and unforgettable, and the prose almost lyrical. This is Charles Frazier at his best. ...Just mention a new novel by the Cold Mountain author, and a line will start forming."
--Booklist

..".[T]hink Thunder Road meets Night of the Hunter meets old murder ballads. This is a suspenseful noir nightmare, complete with bootleggers and switchblades."
--The Daily Beast

"The story makes the book more than worthwhile, and the writing is as good as anything Frazier has created so far. ...[G]ripping story and engaging characters." -- Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star

"[E]ngages your deep interest.... The book's ending is masterful, gratifying suspense-seekers as well as readers who like things working on many levels." -- Asheville Citizen-Times

"The characters are expertly molded from the very land they inhabit, calling attention to the shallowness of the grave in which our more violent past is buried." -- BookPage

PRAISE FOR CHARLES FRAZIER


Cold Mountain

"Natural-born storytellers come along only rarely. Charles Frazier joins the ranks of that elite cadre on the first page of his astonishing debut."--Newsweek

"Prose filled with grace notes and trenchant asides . . . a Whitmanesque foray into America: into its hugeness, its freshness, its scope and its soul . . . such a memorable book."--The New York Times Book Review

"A rare and extraordinary book . . . heart-stopping . . . spellbinding."--San Francisco Chronicle

Thirteen Moons

"A boisterous, confident novel that draws from the epic tradition: It tips its hat to Don Quixote as well as Twain and Melville, and it boldly sets out to capture a broad swatch of America's story in the mid-nineteenth century."--The Boston Globe

"Frazier works on an epic scale, but his genius is in the details--he has a scholar's command of the physical realities of early America and a novelist's gift for bringing them to life."--Time

"Magical . . . fascinating and moving . . . You will find much to admire and savor in Thirteen Moons."--USA Today
Reseña del editor:

By a National Book Award winner.
