The Resurrectionists - Tapa blanda

The solitude of the Upper Michigan Peninsula is Michael CollinsÂ's heart of darkness in this compelling story of the unquiet dead. Frank CassidyÂ's parents burned to death almost thirty years ago; now his uncle is dead—shot by a mysterious stranger who lies in a coma in the local hospital. Frank, working menial jobs to support his unfaithful wife and two children, heads north in a series of stolen cars to dispute his cousinÂ's claim to the family farm. Once there, Frank wants answers, but realizes that what he is searching for—and the promise of the American Dream—is quickly receding from his grasp. Brilliant and unsettling, The Resurrectionists is an ironic yet chilling display of American culture in the seventies and a compassionate novel about a man struggling to overcome the crimes and burdens of his past.

Michael Collins is the author of several works of fiction, including The Keepers of Truth, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and Lost Souls. Born and raised in Ireland, he immigrated to America to attend college on an athletic scholarship and is a world- class extreme athlete.
