Commentary In Favor Of Books Trailerpark

Dans ce roman en douze caravanes et treize épisodes, le grand rêve américain semble en avoir pris un coup dans l'aile. Russel Banks porte ici sur une Amérique populaire le regard à la fois tendre et caustique d'un amateur consommé de la tragi-comédie humaine : la dame du n°11 élève des cochons d'Inde en cachette tandis que la jeune fille du 7 téléphone à Dieu. L'occupant du 3 est un prosélyte de la contraception " tantrique ", quant au vieux pêcheur, il se fait amicalement dépouiller par ses voisins du magot qu'il a enfin décroché à la loterie... C'est dans ce fourmillement de la vie immédiate et dans la chaleureuse relation romanesque qu'entretient Russell Banks avec ses " voisins " du New Hampshire que ce magnifique écrivain est sans doute le plus proche de lui-même.

I can't say I enjoyed reading it. It's too depressing for that. But I appreciated it and I'm glad I read it. It started like a novel, the I realized the chapters were short stories with the same setting and characters in all of them.

It's a collection of short stories set in rural New Hampshire. Each story stands alone; together they examine the characters of the trailer park in a wild variety of episodes."Very few people who have qualifications for such specialized work as nursing are willing to live in a small mill town like Catamount, a town that has been dying for a half-century, a town where the poor are not only always with you but where annually they seem to increase in geometric proportion to the rich." from God's

This is the 5th book I've read by Russell Banks, earning him one of the top spots on my all time favorite authors. The stories are inter-related as they depict each resident of the trailer park at some point in their lives, with the characters making appearances in most all of the stories.Banks has a very sophisticated and esoteric style of writing, which lends to depth of the main characters. This book is not a "fast read" that you can devour quickly. The physical, emotional, social and

This reads like fiction based on fact. Slightly exaggerated. I should know. I live in a trailer park.

I have a hit-and-miss relationship with the work of Russell Banks: I loved The Sweet Hereafter but struggled to get through Affliction. Thus, I approached Trailerpark as a sort of tie-breaker. This linked story collection features many of the elements I admire in Banks's fiction, including authentic dialogue, attention to detail, and a deep sympathy for flawed human nature. Many of the stories were deftly interwoven. Early on, for example, we learn that a former resident committed suicide in his

Russell Banks never disappoints

Captures the desperation, both quiet and not so quiet, of poor people living in a New Hampshire trailer park in the late 1970s. A few of the characters are less than convincing, but the style is spare and heartbreaking.All of the stories are interconnected, which lends the collection a novel-like quality, but the stories usually stand alone well. The last one was my favorite, exploring what happens to a community of poor people when one of them wins a small lottery jackpot.
