Mcclelland & Stewart, Belletristik, Childhood (Englisch, Andre Alexis, 2000)
20,87 €
Uniquely imagined and vividly evoked, André Alexis’ s prize-winning novel chronicles the childhood – or perhaps the loss of childhood – of Thomas MacMillan, who sets out to piece together the early years of his life. Raised in a Southern Ontario town in the ’ 50s and ’ 60s, Thomas is abandoned to the care of his eccentric Trinidadian grandmother. Then, at ten, his mother, Katarina, reclaims him, taking him to Ottawa and to the once-splendid Victorian home of Henry Wing, a gentle conjurer whose love of science and the imagination becomes an important legacy. But is he Thomas’ s father? Moving and wryly humorous, Childhood tells the story of a man’ s quest for what is lost, bringing him closer to the truth about himself.
