Críticas:
'Guy Vanderhaeghe is simply a wonderful writer. THE ENGLISHMAN'S BOY, spanning as it does two countries, two centuries, two views of history - the Canadian wild west as 'imagined' by Hollywood - is a great accomplishment. Readers, I think, will find this book irresistible' Richard Ford 'Bristles with rare vitality... it had not admire the skill with which Vanderhaeghe dramatises two quite different worlds' Julia Flynn, Sunday Telegraph 'A strong, hard novel... Vanderhaeghe is a fine writer' Phil Baker, Sunday Times
Reseña del editor:
1873. Under a full moon, two Assiniboine Indians rustle twenty horses from a group of sleeping white men, wolf hunters taking in their pelts to trade. This sets the scene for two parallel narratives. One is the haunting story of a young drifter known as 'the Englishman's boy' who joins the wolf hunters en route north to Canada on the trail of the horse thieves. Vanderhaeghe's rendering of the stark, dramatic beauty of the landscape becomes a perfect backdrop for vivid scenes of action, adventure and violence. The other story is set in 1920s Hollywood, where Harry Vincent, a struggling young hack writer in a movie studio, is plucked from obscurity by the enigmatic studio head, Damon Ira Chance. Vincent is enlisted to find the elusive old-time Western actor, Shorty McAdoo. Chance believes McAdoo will be able to provide him with the authentic material he needs to fulfil his ambition to make the big film about the American West. But Chance has a darker ambition and the story Vincent painfully extracts brings the two narratives together in a brutal climax.
