Quatrième de couverture :
Revue de presse :
Fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson wants a home, food on the table, and a high school he can attend for more than part of a year. But as the son of a single father working in warehouses across the Pacific Northwest, Charley's been pretty much on his own. When tragic events leave him homeless weeks after their move to Portland, Oregon, Charley seeks refuge in the tack room of a run-down horse track. Charley's only comforts are his friendship with a failing racehorse named Lean on Pete and a photograph of his only known relative. In an increasingly desperate circumstance, Charley will head east, hoping to find his aunt who had once lived a thousand miles away in Wyoming—but the journey to find her will be a perilous one.
In Vlautin's third novel, Lean on Pete, he reveals the lives and choices of American youth like Charley Thompson who were failed by those meant to protect them and who were never allowed the chance to just be a kid.
'Comparisons with Steinbeck and Carver are richly deserved, yet Vlautin's is a truly original voice. LEAN ON PETE is powerful, heartbreaking stuff. Just three novels in and he is already one of the best writers in America.' --Mark Billingham
'He is a master at paring loneliness and longing from his characters ... and always sustaining them, and the reader, with hope.' --Sarah Hall
'A superb evocation of adolescence, loss and, ultimately hope, LEAN ON PETE confirms Willy Vlautin as one of the finest American writers of his generation.' --John Connolly
"An archetypal American novel, Huck Finn for the crystal-meth generation...a sad, often brutal, but oddly beautiful portrait of an America that's forgotten only because we choose not to remember its continuing existence." --Independent Extra
'An enthralling work ... this book has qualities of grace and sympathy that make it impossible to put down.' --Sunday Business Post

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson wants a home; food on the table; a high school he can attend for more than part of a year; and some structure to his life. But as the son of a single father working at warehouses across the Pacific Northwest, he's been pretty much on his own for some time.Lean on Pete opens as he and his father arrive in Portland, Oregon and Charley takes a stables job, illegally, at the local race track. Once part of a vibrant racing network, Portland Meadows is now seemingly the last haven for washed up jockeys and knackered horses, but it's there that Charley meets Pete, an old horse who becomes his companion as he's forced to try to make his own way in the world.A portrait of a journey - populated by a vivid cast of characters against a harsh landscape - Lean on Pete is also the unforgettable story of a friendship and of hope in dark times. From the acclaimed author of The Motel Life and Northline comes another hugely moving slice of Americana. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780571235735
