Letra torcida, letra torcida
Finales de los años setenta. Chabot, una pequeña localidad rural del sur de Mississippi. Larry es un adolescente solitario y triste que se pasa todo el día encerrado en su cuarto leyendo libros de Stephen King. Su padre, dueño del taller en la carretera 11, dice que es un negado para la mecánica. Una mañana, camino del colegio, recogen en la carretera a una mujer negra y a su hijo, Silas, que, desde hace unos días, viven como refugiados en una cabaña de caza en mitad del bosque. Los dos adolescentes, pese a tenerlo todo en contra, clase, raza y modo de vida, forjan un fuerte vínculo de amistad. Sus vidas cambian la noche en que Cindy Walker desaparece y nunca vuelve a saberse de ella. Más de veinte años después, Larry, condenado al ostracismo, lleva una existencia solitaria a cargo del viejo taller de su padre. Silas ha regresado después de una prolongada ausencia y se ha convertido en el alguacil del pueblo. Cada uno lleva su vida como buenamente puede. Silas ve a Larry de vez en cuando al pasar con el coche por delante del taller de camino a cualquier otra parte. Procura que sus miradas no se crucen. Pero los dos viejos «amigos» se verán obligados a retomar el contacto y a confrontar un doloroso pasado. Los buitres han hallado en el río el cadáver descompuesto de un conocido camello de poca monta y acaba de desaparecer otra chica.

Wilderer

release date: Dec 18, 2020
Wilderer
Im Süden Alabamas war es einst üppig und grün. Doch der alte Süden liegt in den letzten Atemzügen, während der neue, moderne Süden das Leben der einfachen Leute in die Hand nimmt. Der Kampf um die Vorherrschaft und das ruhige, selbstbestimmte Dasein sind längst vorbei, doch die alten Wunden müssen erst noch heilen. Sie sprechen von einer Welt der Jagd und des Fischfangs, des Glücksspiels und der Niederlage, des Trinkens und Wilderns. Männer sind hier untreue Ehemänner, Wildfrevler, skrupellose Intriganten, unsympathische Mörder. Sie betrügen ihre Arbeitgeber, erpressen einander, machen Schulden, trinken zu viel und ignorieren Gesetze. Mit dieser Sammlung von zehn Geschichten gelang Tom Franklin der Durchbruch. Diese seltsame, aber faszinierende Welt ist gefüllt mit mutigen Charakteren, die verloren sind, vertrieben wurden oder sich in einer Welt gefangen fühlen, die sich längst in die Zukunft bewegt hat, bevor sie sich darauf vorbereiten konnten.

BRACONNIERS -NED
Rarement un recueil de nouvelles aura été salué par tant d'éloges, évoquant les plus grands noms de la littérature : Faulkner, Hemingway, Carver. Tom Franklin appartient à cette lignée d'écrivains dont la voix singulière est imprégnée de l'atmosphère sombre et violente du Sud profond. Son Alabama natal est peuplé de chasseurs, pêcheurs, braconniers et pochards, ouvriers d'usine et agriculteurs. Englués dans des marécages pourrissants ou des rivières polluées, tous braconnent, chacun à leur manière. Ils réagissent parfois avec violence à la lente agonie d'un monde qui abandonne ses forêts luxuriantes et ses cours d'eau aux usines de pâtes à papier ou aux centrales électriques, et les entraîne inexorablement dans sa propre chute. Un univers sombre, violent et sans rédemption, hanté par l'image fantasmatique de l'Alaska, lointain symbole d'évasion et de pureté. Réédité pour la première fois vingt ans après sa parution, Braconniers mérite d'être redécouvert. L'auteur de La culasse de l'enfer, devenu un livre culte, fait déjà preuve d'un immense talent.

Murder Under the Oaks

release date: Sep 13, 2015
Murder Under the Oaks
MWA Grand Master Margaret Maron, Edgar Award winner Tom Franklin, and New York Times bestselling novelist Ron Rash headline a new anthology of 21 tales spanning from traditional detective stories to comic capers to darkest noir and more-something for all tastes. Murder Under the Oaks is published in conjunction with Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, held in 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina-the City of Oaks. As with the convention itself, the anthology spreads a broad canopy across a wide range of crime writers from across the country and around the world-including both veteran writers and the brightest up-and-coming talents in the field. Celebrating Bouchercon's first-ever meeting in the American South, several of the stories in Murder Under the Oaks also draw on the region's history and culture-including the birth of a secret society at the University of Virginia, a mystery from Edgar Allan Poe's childhood days, and a series of less-than-welcome visits by everyone's favorite hometown sheriff. All participants contributed their efforts to support our charity-the Wake County Public Libraries-and by extension readers and writers everywhere. All profits go to the library.

Dans la colère du fleuve

release date: Mar 02, 2015
Dans la colère du fleuve
Mississippi, 1927. Gonflé par les pluies diluviennes, le fleuve menace de détruire les digues qui protègent la région et d'engloutir le petit hameau de Hobnob, où les agents fédéraux Ted Ingersoll et Ham Johnson enquêtent sur la disparition de deux collègues venus arrêter un trafiquant d'alcool. Au coeur de ce paysage d'apocalypse, ils découvrent un bébé abandonné, qu'Ingersoll - lui-même orphelin - confie par hasard à Dixie Clay Holliver. Sans se douter que la jeune femme est le plus grand bootlegger du comté, et peut-être la dernière aussi à avoir vu les deux agents en vie... Chantre de la littérature du Sud, Tom Franklin, auteur de La Culasse de l'enfer, unit ici sa voix à celle de son épouse, la poétesse Beth Ann Fennelly. Dans le contexte dramatique de la Prohibition et de l'une des plus grandes catastrophes naturelles de l'histoire des Etats-Unis, ce roman est tout autant la fresque d'une époque que d'un lieu où la beauté côtoie chaque jour le danger. « Un nouveau roman de Tom Franklin est toujours une occasion de se réjouir, mais un roman qui unit Franklin et Beth Ann Fennelly, c'est une fête ! » Dennis Lehane

The Tilted World
From the author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter - winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year April 1927. After months of rain, the Mississippi River has reached dangerous levels and the little town of Hobnob is at threat. Residents fear the levee will either explode under the pressure of the water or be blown by saboteurs from New Orleans, who wish to save their own city. But when an orphaned baby is found the lives of Ingersoll, a blues-playing prohibition agent, and Dixie Clay, a bootlegger who is guarding a terrible secret, collide. They can little imagine how events are about to change them - and the great South - forever. For in the dead of night, after thick, illusory fog, the levee will break . . .

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter
“The classic trifecta of talent, heart, and a bone-deep sense of storytelling….A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind.” —David Wroblewski A powerful and resonant novel from the critically acclaimed author of Smonk and Hell at the Breech, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter tells the riveting story of two boyhood friends, torn apart by circumstance, who are brought together again by a terrible crime in a small Mississippi town. An extraordinary novel that seamlessly blends elements of crime and Southern literary fiction, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is a must for readers of Larry Brown, Pete Dexter, Ron Rash, and Dennis Lehane. In the late 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry, the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, single black mother. Yet for a few months the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond. But then tragedy struck: Larry took a girl on a date to a drive-in movie, and she was never heard from again. She was never found and Larry never confessed, but all eyes rested on him as the culprit. The incident shook the county—and perhaps Silas most of all. His friendship with Larry was broken, and then Silas left town. More than twenty years have passed. Larry, a mechanic, lives a solitary existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has returned as a constable. He and Larry have no reason to cross paths until another girl disappears and Larry is blamed again. And now the two men who once called each other friend are forced to confront the past they've buried and ignored for decades.

Poachers

release date: Oct 13, 2009
Poachers
An Edgar Award winner, Tom Franklin's Poachers collects ten stunning, bleak tales set in the woodlands, swamps and chemical plants along the Alabama River. Staking his claim as a fresh, original Southern voice, Tom Frankin's lyric, deceptively simple prose conjures a world where the default setting is violence, a world of hunting and fishing, gambling and losing, drinking and poaching—a world most of us have never seen. In the chilling title novella, three wild boys confront a mythic game warden as mysterious and deadly as the river they haunt. And, as a weathered, hand-painted sign reads: "Jesus is not coming." This terrain isn't pretty, isn't for the weak of heart, but in these deperate, lost people, Franklin somehow finds the moments of grace that make them what they so abundantly are: human. "While he may occasionally wax sentimental about life in the impoverished South, Franklin's style is often as laconic and simply spoken as his characters' dialogue, sometimes close to Hemingway, but more often akin to Denis Johnson or Raymond Carver in its resonant ordinariness." — Publishers Weekly

Hell at the Breech

release date: Oct 13, 2009
Hell at the Breech
In 1897, an aspiring politician is mysteriously murdered in the rural area of Alabama known as Mitcham Beat. His outraged friends -- —mostly poor cotton farmers -- form a secret society, Hell-at-the-Breech, to punish the townspeople they believe responsible. The hooded members wage a bloody year-long campaign of terror that culminates in a massacre where the innocent suffer alongside the guilty. Caught in the maelstrom of the Mitcham war are four people: the aging sheriff sympathetic to both sides; the widowed midwife who delivered nearly every member of Hell-at-the-Breech; a ruthless detective who wages his own war against the gang; and a young store clerk who harbors a terrible secret. Based on incidents that occurred a few miles from the author's childhood home, Hell at the Breech chronicles the events of dark days that led the people involved to discover their capacity for good, evil, or for both.

La Culasse de l'enfer
1897. Dans un coin reculé de l'Alabama, un homme est assassiné dans d'étranges circonstances. Pour le venger, ses proches forment une société secrète, « La culasse de l'enfer », fermement décidée à faire sa propre justice. S'engage dès lors, entre les métayers blancs et les propriétaires fonciers des villes voisines, une guerre fratricide où il n'y a ni innocents ni coupables, mais du sang et de la douleur... À partir d'un fait historique, Franklin déploie une magnifique fresque romanesque et poétique où s'enchevêtrent la dimension sociale, policière et humaine. Explorant les replis les plus obscurs de l'âme, ce récit âpre et inexorable rend un magnifique hommage non seulement aux hommes dont il traite mais au monde qu'ils habitent. « Je suis stupéfait par la puissance de Tom Franklin. La force d'évocation de sa prose, la rigueur implacable de son imagination me rappellent Fualkner. » Philip Roth
