Informationen zum Autor ADAM JOHNSON won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2013 for his second novel, the New York Times bestseller The Orphan Master’s Son (‘Excavates the very meaning of life’ New York Times ). His short story 'Nirvana' won the prestigious Sunday Times/ EFG Short Story Award. He is the author of acclaimed story collections, Fortune Smiles and Emporium and the novel Parasites Like Us. He teaches creative writing at Stanford University and lives with his family in San Francisco. Klappentext Adam Johnson takes you into the minds of characters you never thought you would meet - a former Stasi prison warden in denial of his past, a refugee from North Korea unsettled by his new freedom, a UPS driver in hurricane-torn Louisiana looking for the mother of his son. These are tales of love and loss, natural disasters, the influence of technology, and how the political shapes the personal. Tender, wry, utterly compelling, they show us humanity where you might least expect it. Zusammenfassung Revealing the resulting confusion and wasted potential that can hamper men's fulfillment in later life, this book calls for a more proactive, compassionate and affirming approach from parents, schools, services and the wider community so that all boys have the chance to become happier men and decent citizens, partners and fathers.
