The Shipping News

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

E. Annie Proulx, die mehrfach preisgekrönte amerikanische Autorin, erzählt in ihrer herb-poetischen Sprache die Geschichte eines Mannes in den Dreißigern. Quoyle, der äußerlich wenig ansehnliche Held des Romans, hat weder Glück im Beruf noch in der Liebe. Als er wieder einmal vor dem Nichts steht, läßt er sich dazu überreden, zum Herkunftsort seiner Familie, zu der Felseninsel Neufundland im Osten Kanadas, zurückzukehren. Trotz widriger Bedingungen gelingt es ihm hier, Fuß zu fassen. Quoyle wird Reporter für die "Schiffsmeldungen" beim Lokalblatt.
