Produktinformationen "HOMEFIELD"
At the end of the Vietnam War, Calvin Parsons, a war resistor who fled the country to Mexico, returns to his childhood home to work on the family farm, only to run into the start of the farm crisis in the 1970s. Peopled with unforgettable characters such as Calvin's Uncle Karl and Aunt Martha, "Buckwheat" Van Anders, and Mike McCormick and his wife, this novel resonates with the life of the Great Plains. Perhaps inevitably for a story set in this vast and often inhospitable region, the tablelands and prairie around the fictional Platte River town of Revere, Nebraska, begin to assume the quality of an added character in the novel. Destined to take its place alongside the great stories of the plains by Cather, Sandoz, and Rolvaag, Homefield: Sonata in Rural Voice tells the story of the end of an era, the beginnings of one man's understanding of himself, and of the bonds of friendship, family, and the land.
