Kent Haruf

    24 februari 1943 – 30 november 2014

    Kent Haruf staat bekend om zijn romans die zich afspelen in het fictieve stadje Holt, Colorado. Zijn stijl kenmerkt zich door een rustige, maar indringende focus op gewone mensen en hun levens. Haruf legt meesterlijk thema's als gemeenschap, verlies en veerkracht vast met ingetogen precisie. Zijn werken bieden diepgaande inzichten in het Amerikaanse Midden-Westen en de bewoners ervan, waarbij vaak hun stille kracht en onderlinge afhankelijkheid wordt benadrukt.

      Die achtzigjährige Edith Goodnough wurde verhaftet. Ihr Nachbar weiß um Ediths Lebenstragödien und die kleinen Lichtblicke, die vielleicht unweigerlich zu diesem Januar 1977 führten: die entbehrungsreiche Kindheit, der Tod der Mutter, der durch einen Unfall abhängige, stets wütende Vater. Wahrhaftig und einfühlsam entführt Kent Haruf abermals in ein Leben, in dem es an dem meisten fehlt, in dem es Herz und Beharrlichkeit braucht, um die Geschenke darin zu entdecken.
