À propos de cet audio
National Book Award, Fiction, 2012
One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and 13-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.

Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity of putting down roots.

The year is 1921. Lesley Hamlyn and her husband, Robert, a lawyer and war veteran, are living at Cassowary House on the Straits Settlement of Penang. When “Willie” Somerset Maugham, a famed writer and old friend of Robert’s, arrives for an extended visit with his secretary Gerald, the pair threatens a rift that could alter more lives than one. Maugham, one of the great novelists of his day, is beleaguered: Having long hidden his homosexuality, his unhappy and expensive marriage of convenience becomes unbearable after he loses his savings—and the freedom to travel with Gerald.

At once a powerful evocation of his early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice to both the individual and the body politic, James Baldwin galvanized the nation in the early days of the civil rights movement with this eloquent manifesto. The Fire Next Time stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

Moving
Part mystery, part coming-of-age, all heartbreaking, The Round House is wonderfully written.
The story brought to life Joe's summer as a young teenage boy living on a reservation in the '80s. This novel is full of well-developed characters and relationships, and I was immersed in the narrative so deeply, that I find myself feeling like I was really there. While the pace wasn't quick enough to be called a true mystery, I believe what this narrative lacks in urgency, it makes up for in depth. The suspense builds throughout, so by the end you are so ingrained in the story--so attached to the charactes-- it's sudden ending is jarring and heart-wrenching.
The narrator's voice was steady but a bit slow, but was very soothing. I appreciate that Gary Farmer was selected as narrator-- that Joe was given an indigenous voice.
I think I will have to rewrite this review later, because right now, I have too many feelings!

Incredibly written, incredibly performed.
I was enraptured the whole way through this magnificent book!! Incredibly written and very heartwrenching at the same time. I've always had a hard time fully finishing books but this one I had a hard time putting down, even when my heart felt heavy with dread. Fantastic work.

A must listen!
From the first paragraph to the last word found myself on an Indian reservation. The characters were so familiar they could have been kids I went to school with or even me. I appreciated peak into reservation life that most non-Indians will never see.
