Canada - Rilegato

“This is a brilliant and engrossing portrait of a fragile American family and the fragile consciousness of a teenage boy. It is also fascinating in the way it reveals the plot in the opening page and then winds backwards, offering a more and more intimate version of the story.” (Colm Toibin)

“Pure vocal grace, quiet humor, precise and calm observation.” (The New Yorker)

“[Canada]confirms his position as one of the finest stylists and most humane storytellers in America... his most elegiac and profound book...” (Washington Post)

“Robust and powerful... Ford is able to tap into something momentous and elemental about the profound moral chaos behind the actions of seemingly responsible people... Ford has dramatized the frightening discovery of the world’s anarchic heart.” (Wall Street Journal)

“A triumph of voice.... The writing... is spare, but heartbreaking.” (USA Today)

“Richard Ford returns with one of his most powerful novels yet...Ford has never written better...Canada is Richard Ford’s best book since Independence Day, and despite its robbery and killings it too depends on its voice, a voice oddly calm and marked by the spare grandeur of its landscape.” (Daily Beast)

“Awe-inspiring... The laconic, grief-stricken voice of Dell, looking back on his past, trying to make some kind sense of what happened when his family imploded, keeps you turning pages, as do the quiet, thought-provoking revelations that Ford drops in throughout.” (O, the Oprah Magazine)

“Told in Ford’s exquisitely detailed, unhurried prose...Ford is interested here in the ways snap decisions can bend life in unexpected directions... Canada’s characters grapple with this... and the answers they come up with define the rest of their lives, along with this quietly thoughtful book.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“Masterly... in Ford’s American tragedy, filled with lost innocence and inevitable violence―a rusting carnival, a rabbit caught in a coyote’s jaws―geography feels a lot like fate.” (Vogue)

“One of the most memorably heartbreaking novels of the year.” (Christian Science Monitor)
