Sinopsis

Here They Come is the lyrical, startling and poignant third novel from Yannick Murphy, a National Endowment for the Arts award winner and one of the freshest voices in American fiction today. Splitting time between a ramshackle apartment and a lonely hot dog vendor, the observant thirteen-year-old who stands steadily at the center of Here They Come gives lyrical voice to an unforgettable instant 1970s New York, stifling, violent and full of life. Balanced between her enigmatic siblings, detached parents, and a quiet sense of the surreal, she recounts a year of startling moments with dark humor and deadpan resilience.

Críticas

"This is a hell of a book. You might not be able to finish Here They Come in one sitting, but it will haunt you till you do. What detail! What characters! I can imagine both Jane Austen and Raymond Carver poring over this masterly novel." -- Frank McCourt "Yannick Murphy's long-awaited Here They Come is a unique combination of rare linguistic lyricism with brutal and brilliant prose. It is an unrelenting portrait of family, terrifying for its honesty, its willingness to be ugly and elegant. Haunting." -- A. M. Homes "Yannick Murphy is a uniquely talented writer who manages to turn everything on its head and make dark, funny, shocking, and beautiful prose out of the detritus of growing up poor, fatherless, and cockeyed. She is fearless." -- Lily Tuck "Murphy flawlessly captures a child's-eye view of a battered society and a battered family. . . . Most impressive of all is her remarkable use of language, the expressive way she puts together ordinary words and images to create surprisingly lovely and moving metaphors." -- Wendy Smith
