More copies of this ISBN:Accordion Crimesby E Annie Proulx
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:E. Annie Proulx's Accordion Crimes is a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. Proulx brings the immigrant experience in America to life through the eyes of the descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Africans, Irish-Scots, Franco-Canadians and many others, all linked by their successive ownership of a simple green accordion. The music they make is their last link with the past — voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance. Proulx's prodigious knowledge, unforgettable characters and radiant language make Accordion Crimes a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality. Review:Gail CaldwellBoston Sunday GlobeA daringly intelligent work with a soul as wide as the Mississippi. Review:Gail Caldwell Boston Sunday Globe A daringly intelligent work with a soul as wide as the Mississippi. Review:Kathleen ByrneGlobe and Mail Review of BooksCrisp and authoritative, her spare, dense prose is mesmerizing ...A majestic novel. Review:Michael DirdaThe Washington Post Book WorldYou would think Proulx would have the simple decency to make her third novel merely so-so, if only to let someone else grab a little limelight. No such luck...She now seems to know everything about writing. And a fair amount about life, too. Review:Phoebe-Lou AdamsAtlantic MonthlySplendid...Ms. Proulx is a magician. About the AuthorE.
