Değerlendirmeler

‘This novel confirms Proulx as one of the greatest American writers.’ Independent
‘The detail is breathtaking, her ear for dialogue matchless, her observation unsentimental, her pace infectious. She tackles death, sex and the gruesome with black hilarity and the skills of a born storyteller. Rich and dense, “Accordion Crimes” is a splendid novel.’ The Times
‘Annie Proulx has written an epic social history of America and the plight of the immigrant, which is astonishing in its breadth, heroic in the scale of its ambition and brilliant in its manner of realising them.’ Daily Mail
‘The glorious richness of the language continually makes you pause in wonder, the details pile up and surround you.’ Scotsman
‘Her range and scope are tremendous, shuttling through the warp of multiple cultures and spanning, by the end, a hundred years. And it is the range of detail that grips, richly concrete.’ Spectator
‘Vigorous, salty and extraordinary.’ The Times
