Críticas:
'Haruf is the master of what one of his characters calls "the precious ordinary"... With understated language and startling emotional insight, he makes you feel awe at even the most basic of human gestures.' Ben Goldstein, Esquire 'Reverberant... From the terroir and populace of his native American West, the author of Plainsong and Eventide again draws a story elegant in its simple telling and remarkable in its authentic capture of universal human emotions.' Brad Hooper, Booklist 'Haruf is maguslike in his gifts... to illuminate the inevitable ways in which tributary lives meander toward confluence... Perhaps not since Hemingway has an American author triggered such reader empathy with so little reliance on the subjectivity of his characters... [This] is a modestly wrought wonder from one of our finest living writers.' Bruce Machart, The Houston Chronicle 'His finest-tuned tale yet... There is a deep, satisfying music to this book, as Haruf weaves between such a large cast of characters in so small a space... Strangely, wonderfully, the moment of a man's passing can be a blessing in the way it brings people together. Benediction recreates this powerful moment so gracefully it is easy to forget that, like [the town of] Holt, it is a world created by one man.' John Freeman, The Boston Globe 'As Haruf's precise details accrue, a reader gains perspective: This is the story of a man's life, and the town where he spent it, and the people who try to ease its end... His sentences have the elegance of Hemingway's early work [and his] determined realism, which admits that not all of our past actions or the reasons behind them are knowable, even to ourselves, is one of the book's satisfactions.' John Reimringer, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune 'Grace and restraint are abiding virtues in Haruf's fiction, and they resume their place of privilege in his new work... For readers looking for the rewards of an intimate, meditative story, it is indeed a blessing.' Karen R. Long, The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'We've waited a long time for an invitation back to Holt, home to Kent Haruf's novels... He may be the most muted master in American fiction [and] Benediction seems designed to catch the sound of those fleeting good moments [with] scenes Hemingway might have written had he survived.' Ron Charles, Washington Post 'Benediction suggests there's no end to the stories Haruf can tell about Holt or to the tough, gorgeous language he can summon in the process.' New York Times 'Truly showcases the novel as an art form.' Psychologies 'A brilliant end to his brilliant Plainsong trilogy.' Lucy Mangan, Stylist 'Kent Haruf describes Dad Lewis's last summer with beautiful simplicity ... Haruf's existing fans have been waiting patiently for Benediction for years. They won't be surprised by how fine this book is, but newcomers to his writing will be reaching for his previous novels to catch up.' Sunday Express
Reseña del editor:
One long last summer for Dad Lewis in his beloved town, Holt, Colorado. As old friends pass in and out of his front door to voice their farewells, their prayers, their good wishes, Dad's wife and daughter work to make his final days as comfortable as possible, knowing all is tainted by the heart-break of an absent son. Next door, a little girl moves in with her grandmother and is drawn into the circle of friendship, her innocence and youth providing promise and hope to all those around her. And down town another new arrival, the Reverend Rob Lyle, attempts to mend strained relationships of his own, as he faces up to his latest congregation. Set in an imaginative landscape as vivid and powerful as those of Cormac McCarthy and Annie Proulx, Benediction is a devastating yet affirming novel that explores the pain, the compassion and above all the humanity of ordinary people.
