Описание: Louisiana writer Tim Gautreaux (b. 1947) writes fiction that mixes equal parts dry humor, tall tales, and deep tragedy. His stories and novels of working-class Acadiana portray lives of inimitably poignant love, loss, and longing. The depth and complexity of Gautreaux's writing invite scholarly appraisals as well, as critics mine the richness of his moral vision. These interviews reveal the intensity of his sense of place, his deep connection to the mechanical and working world, his commitment to the craft of writing, and his Catholic view that has been shaped by Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy. Conversations with Tim Gautreaux collects interviews from 1993 to 2009 with the author of The Missing, The Clearing, Welding with Children, and many other vital works of fiction. Readers who have been engaged with the themes in his stories and novels will find themselves equally taken with the kind and thoughtful voice they discover in interviews.

Описание: Returning to New Orleans from the battlefields of France in 1919, Sam Simoneaux determines to put destruction behind him and settle down with his wife. But when a little girl is abducted on his watch at a department store, he feels duty bound to help find her. Getting a job on a steamboat alongside her musician parents, he embarks on a dangerous foray up the Mississippi and into its lawless hinterland.

Set in Louisiana during prohibition and at the dawn of the Jazz Age, The Missing vividly evokes a ragged frontier country where violence is just another way of life. Taut with suspense and profoundly affecting, this is an enthralling tale of vengeance, conscience and redemption by an exceptional writer. Tim Gautreaux is the author of two short story collections and the novels The Next Step In The Dance and The Clearing.
