Ron Hansen Bücher

Sie sind ganz gegensätzlich und doch Vater und Sohn: Atticus Cody, der wortkarge, rechtschaffene Rancher auf den Hochebenen von Colorado, und Scott, der als Künstler durchs Leben driftet. Plötzlich erhält Atticus die Nachricht, Scott sei in Mexiko gestorben. Getragen von einer tiefverwurzelten, hartnäckigen Liebe, macht er sich auf die Suche nach ihm, in einem exotischen, schäbigen Ort names Resurreccion.

In this retelling of one of the great classic tales of the American West, James comes across as a complex character, a new age type with an interest in parapsychology and alternative medicine, a farmer, a family man and a stone-cold killer.

At 65, Emmett Dalton, the last living member of the notorious Dalton gang, recounts his thrilling and violent past filled with crime, including murders and bootlegging. His captivating adventures, shared with Hollywood, reveal the raw and gritty essence of a tumultuous era. Ron Hansen, a bestselling author, masterfully captures Dalton's authentic voice and the excitement of his life as a desperado, providing readers with a vivid portrayal of lawlessness and survival.

In Hotly in Pursuit of the Real, the beloved bestselling novelist Ron Hansen opens the doors of his writing studio to share with us his passions for history, scandal, theology, Jesuits, the American West, and golf (which he plays even in bad weather). If Hansen's novels explore people very different from himself--from a stigmatic nun to a Victorian poet to Billy the Kid, and even Hitler's niece--the meditations in this book do the opposite, allowing us to glimpse the wellsprings of his imagination, the places and traditions and books that drive him to create made-up worlds. In that sense, the reflections in these pages truly serve as "notes toward a memoir." As each section unfolds, we gain a clearer sense of Hansen's aesthetic, the parallels he sees between writing and the sacraments, between literature's capacity to make history present to us and the Church's rich array of traditions, including the Jesuit charism that has inspired great writers, such as Gerard Manley Hopkins (and himself). Equally adept at telling a hilarious anecdote and guiding us through a complex, ambiguous episode in history, Hansen's language remains fresh and invigorating. Hotly in Pursuit of the Real takes you inside one writer's imagination, only to send you back out into the wide world with new eyes.

Inspiré par un crime dont les détails à la fois salaces et macabres ont scandalisé l'Amérique de 1927, Ron Hansen nous livre un huitième roman époustouflant situé dans le New York effréné, jazzy et alcoolisé des Années folles. Où la voluptueuse et irrésistible Ruth Snyder, mère téméraire jusqu'à l'imprudence d'une fillette de neuf ans, est piégée par un mariage sans amour. Et parfois à ce point violent qu'elle n'a qu'une obsession : se débarrasser d'Albert, son mari. Pour arriver à ses fins, elle tisse peu à peu sa toile autour d'un élégant représentant en lingerie féminine, marié lui aussi. De lettres secrètes en rendez-vous torrides au Waldorf-Astoria, Ruth ensorcelle Judd Gray grâce à sa sensualité animale et l'amène, à force de caresses, là où elle le veut... Puisant dans les minutes du procès, parmi les pages des tabloïds de l'époque et entre les lignes des journaux intimes des amants, Ron Hansen nous donne, par le biais de la fiction, les clés d'un des plus grands crimes passionnels de tous les temps. Ce meurtre fut aussi à la source du roman de James M Cain, Assurance sur la mort, du film éponyme de Billy Wilder, des deux versions du film Le facteur sonne toujours deux fois, sans oublier Ossessione de Luchino Visconti.
