At this point, talking about this novel only serves to confirm what critics unanimous opinion, readers and booksellers, that is one of the revelations important in 2010 is already over. However, I will give you some advice before getting into this novel: do not read any reviews or interviews the author, not get carried away by the temptation to be informed about the novel to read. It is best to arrive without any prior information, because the impact is much greater. In fact, if you will trust me, stop reading this review and buy the book, but I promise not desverlarles anything if you continue to read what follows.
The argument Sukkwan Island, I will say very briefly, revolves around a father and son after much time apart, they go to spend a year to a remote island in Alaska, where there are more people that two of them. What the father has planned as a
a perfect season to approach your child begins to twist when the teen discovers that her father shows an unexpected and puzzling attitude. The frustration of the parent and child anxiety that this experience will be too stifling for both.
Sukkwan Island is a novel for a long time, as part of a process personal enrichment of the writer. What is narrated here is the fictional portrayal of the anguish felt over the years David Vann for a fact that he lived as a young man (and it is better to discover it on their own once they read the novel). I will not give more details of the book, because I assure you, once you have read, feel the desire to know the author and, when searching the web, what Sukkwan decubrirán Island has led to David Vann (then more will be caught, if possible, for this story.)
novel is a brilliant, brutal, addictive and probably tell you that crucial time. If I have to highlight the three or four jewels of 2010, Sukkwan Island would be by law one that would not raise any doubt. And by the way, I suspect that has not had to be easy to translate this novel, because obvious that requires pinpoint accuracy (Francesc Rovira Daniel Gascon Catalan and in Castilian translators have been dealing with this test fire).
