Description
Dell Parsons té quinze anys quan els seus pares roben un banc a Dakota del Nord i la seva vida, i la de la seva germana bessona Berner, queda alterada per sempre. Plena de ressentiment, la Berner fuig a Califòrnia, però en Dell no es queda sol del tot: una coneguda de la família se l'emporta a través de la frontera canadenca per evitar que caigui sota la tutela de l'Estat. Allà, envoltat pels camps de Saskatchewan, en Dell troba refugi a casa de l'Arthur Remlinger, un fugitiu americà, enigmàtic i distant, amb un passat fosc i violent. Canadà és una obra mestra d'una profunditat inusual i inquietant que tracta amb delicadesa les transgressions, la pèrdua de la innocència i la possibilitat de redempció, i els misteris que mouen els complexos llaços familiars. Narrada amb la prosa espartana i elegant pròpia de l'autor, tan impressionant com lluminosa, Canadà està destinada a convertir-se en un clàssic contemporani. "Retrat brillant i profund d'una família fràgil, típicament americana, i la consciència, també fràgil, d'un noi adolescent. Alhora, és fascinant la manera com mostra la trama a la primera pàgina i després tira enrere, oferint una versió cada vegada més íntima de la història." Colm Tóibín
