Tom Spanbauer Livres

Tom Spanbauer est un romancier qui explore les thèmes de la race, de l'identité sexuelle et de la manière dont nous créons des familles pour surmonter les limitations de celles dans lesquelles nous sommes nés. Son style distinctif allie une prose fraîche et lyrique à une narration solide. En tant qu'enseignant, son approche innovante combine une attention particulière au langage avec une ouverture généreuse à «l'endroit douloureux» en chacun de nous, source d'histoires que seul nous pouvons raconter. La communauté d'écrivains qui s'est formée autour de lui défend l'idée que «La fiction est le mensonge qui dit la vérité plus vraie».

The story follows Shed, a half-Indian bisexual boy living in Excellent, Idaho, at the turn of the century, where he works at the town's brothel, the Indian Head Hotel. As he navigates life with his eccentric coworkers, Shed grapples with his identity and the meaning of his Indian name, Duivichi-un-Dua, given by his murdered mother. His journey across the plains leads to encounters with remarkable characters and a deeper understanding of his heritage, culminating in a return home that brings painful revelations and wisdom.
