Description
« D'abord, je vais vous raconter le hold-up que nos parents ont commis. Ensuite les meurtres, qui se sont produits plus tard. »Great Falls, Montana, 1960. Dell Parsons a 15 ans lorsque ses parents braquent une banque, avec le fol espoir de rembourser un créancier menaçant. Le hold-up échoue, les parents sont arrêtés, et Dell a désormais le choix entre la fuite et l'orphelinat. Il traverse la frontière et trouve refuge dans un village du Saskatchewan, au Canada. Il est alors recueilli par le propriétaire d’un hôtel, Arthur Remlinger, qui le prend à son service. Charismatique, mystérieux, Remlinger est aussi recherché aux États-Unis... C'est la fin de l'innocence pour Dell qui, dans l'ombre de Remlinger, au sein d'une nature sauvage et d'une communauté pour qui seule compte la force brutale, cherche son propre chemin. Canada est le récit de ces années qui l'ont marqué à jamais. Ce roman, d’une puissance et d’une beauté exceptionnelles, marque le retour sur la scène littéraire d’un des plus grands écrivains américains contemporains.
