Sinopsis	WALK ME TO THE DISTANCE Now with a brilliant new package, a re-issue of the sophomore novel by Percival Everett, New York Times bestselling author of National Book Award winner James. Haunting, provocative and bleakly funny, Walk Me to the Distance is Percival Everett's brilliant reexamination of the Western, and a laconic tragicomedy about what it takes to survive in the last days of a bygone big-sky country. In self-imposed exile after returning home from the war in Vietnam, David Larson meanders into the barren town of Slut's Hole, Wyoming, where a local widow takes him under her wing. After making a sort of home among the town's hardscrabble locals, David grudgingly adopts a young Vietnamese girl abandoned along the highway. This sets in motion a number of tragic turns as Western mythos and frontier justice clash against the tides of a changing world. First published in 1985 by Clarion Books, Walk Me to the Distance was the sophomore novel of an iconic American voice. Over the course of his five decade career, Everett has written over twenty five books and been shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for 2020's Telephone , twice longlisted for the Booker Prize, and the recipient of the 2024 National Book Award for the "genius" The Atlantic James, a brilliantly imagined retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. James was a 1 New York Times bestseller and is being developed into film by Stephen Spielberg. Edad recomendada: Adultos. EVERETT PERCIVAL Es Profesor Distinguido de Inglés en la USC.
