Canada

A powerful and unforgettable tale of the violence lurking at the heart of the world, Richard Ford''s Canada will resonate long and loud for readers of stark and sweeping novels of American life, from the novels of Cheever and Carver to the works of Philip Roth, Charles Frazier, Richard Russo, and Jonathan Franzen.
