J. P. Henderson Libri

    Questo autore approfondisce la storia americana, in particolare del XX secolo, esplorando le sue sfaccettature meno conosciute attraverso la sua formazione accademica. La sua scrittura è informata da una diversa gamma di esperienze di vita, dal lavoro in fonderia a una carriera nell'editoria, che gli conferiscono una prospettiva unica sui soggetti che esamina. Il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da ricerche dettagliate e da un acuto intuito sui movimenti politici e sociali, offrendo ai lettori una comprensione più profonda di figure e ideologie storiche. Lo stile dell'autore è analitico ma coinvolgente, collocando le figure storiche in contesti sociali e politici più ampi.

      After an absence of some seven years, Greg Bowman returns from America to find his father lying in a bamboo coffin, his estranged brother Billy stalking a woman with no feet and his 79-year-old Uncle Frank planning to rob a bank. While renovating the family house he is unexpectedly visited by the presence of his dead father and charged with the task of 'fixing' the family. In the course of his reluctant investigations, Greg discovers not only the secrets behind the strange behavior of his brother and uncle but also an unsettling secret of his father's, and one that brings him face to face with the unintended consequences of his own past. The Last of the Bowmans is the story of a family on the run from itself in a city with no place to go.
