Produktbeschreibung

Set in Paducah, Kentucky, Lee Cole's follow-up to Groundskeeping ("An exacting, beautifully textured debut novel . . . presages a major career"-The New York Times Book Review) is a powerful, page-turning story of two half brothers navigating the complexities of class and privilege in the American South. Fulfillment tells the story of two half brothers-Joel, a successful academic and author, whose marriage is in deep trouble, and his younger sibling Emmett, paralyzed by indecision and working on a factory assembly line-who find themselves at their family home in Kentucky and upend each other's lives in devasting ways. Between them is Alice, Joel's wife, a wry, passionate young woman who is being slowly asphyxiated by domestic tedium, and whose longing collides with Emmett's hunger for connection and desire to escape a sense of burgeoning failure and shame. As the chemistry between them escalates, the family is plunged into a violent crucible, each character brought to a precipice of immutable catastrophe. Incisive, poignant, gorgeously written, Lee Cole has written a haunting novel about class, privilege, brotherhood, and the American South, a book that asks whether people can change, and at what cost, and what it takes to build a life of fulfillment and meaning.
