The Pilgrim Hawk, etc

"This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Tower, and American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in--with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins."--Page 4 of cover.

  • "This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Towers, an American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in - with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins. A work of classical elegance and concision, The Pilgrim Hawk stands with Faulkner's The Bear as one of the finest American short novels: a beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love."

  • "En pleine campagne orléanaise, dans les années 20, la paisible retraite de deux jeunes expatriés américains va être troublée par l'arrivée impromptue d'un couple d'amis irlandais oisifs en route pour aller chasser en Hongrie. Première traduction française d'un roman publié initialement en 1940."
  • "Het bezoek van een Iers echtpaar en hun havik stimuleert een Amerikaanse schrijver tot het analyseren van hun gedrag."
  • "One afternoon in a French village in the 1920s, Alwyn Tower is visiting another American friend, Alexandra Henry. The Cullens, an Irish couple, accompanied by their chauffeur and a trained bird, Lucy, stop by. Alexandra's servants, Jean and Eva, complete this peaceful scene. But as the afternoon wears on, Lucy upsets this cozy assemblage and therein lies a tale of love and fidelity."
