Zusatztext 'Yes! this is a doomsday novel! an Armageddon novel! a futuristic novel! but RED MOON is also more perfectly constructed and flat-out better written than novels of that kind usually are. This is a serious! politically symbolic novel -- a literary novel about lycanthropes. If George Orwell had imagined a future where the werewolf population had grown to the degree that they were colonized and drugged! this terrifying novel might be it.' Informationen zum Autor Benjamin Percy is the award-winning author of the novel, The Wilding (forthcoming from Graywolf, September 28, 2010), as well as two books of short stories, Refresh, Refresh (Graywolf, 2007) and The Language of Elk (Carnegie Mellon, 2006). Publishers Weekly gave The Wilding a starred review, saying "Percy's excellent debut novel...digs into the ambiguous American attitude toward nature as it oscillates between Thoreau's romantic appreciation and sheer gothic horror... It's as close as you can get to a contemporary Deliverance ." Percy's honors include a Whiting Writers Award, the Plimpton Prize, the Pushcart Prize, and inclusion in Best American Short Stories. His fiction and nonfiction appear in Esquire (where he is a regular contributor), Outside , Men's Journal , the Paris Review , Orion , Tin House , Ploughshares , Glimmer Train , and many other magazines and journals. He teaches in the MFA program at Iowa State and can be found online at benjaminpercy.com.
