Hier findet ihr eine neue Fanpage über den amerikanischen Autoren Stewart O’Nan. Für seinen Erstlingsroman Engel im Schnee, der im Spätherbst 1974 in Butler, einer Kleinstadt im Westen Pennsylvanias spielt, erhielt er 1993 übrigens den William-Faulkner-Preis.

from The New York Times:
What are you working on?
A sequel to my 2002 novel “Wish You Were Here.” After how sad “Songs for the Missing” was, I wanted to write a lighter book. It’s all about Emily, the matriarch of the Maxwell clan, at home in Pittsburgh with her old dog Rufus. She’s 78, so she’s naturally looking back, taking stock, trying to figure out what her life has amounted to (what any life amounts to).

Sometimes it takes a Hollywood blockbuster to bring an American masterpiece back into print. That’s exactly what happened with Revolutionary Road, the 1961 work of troubled writer Richard Yates. The novel may have been critically acclaimed at the time, but had it not been for this year’s movie adaptation, most of us would never have heard of it.
