Tiernas criaturas

One Saturday night in Las Vegas, twelve-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn't come home. In the aftermath of his disappearance, his mother, Lorraine, makes daily pilgrimages to her son's room and tortures herself with memories. Equally distraught, the boy's father, Lincoln, finds himself wanting to comfort his wife even as he yearns for solace, a loving touch, any kind of intimacy. As the Ewings navigate the mystery of what's become of their son, the circumstances surrounding Newell's vanishing and other events on that same night reverberate through the lives of seemingly disconnected strangers: a comic book illustrator in town for a weekend of debauchery; a painfully shy and possibly disturbed young artist; a stripper who imagines moments from her life as if they were movie scenes; a bubbly teenage wiccan anarchist; a dangerous and scheming gutter punk; a band of misfit runaways. The people of Beautiful Children are "urban nomads," each with a past to hide and a pain to nurture, every one of them searching for salvation and barreling toward destruction, weaving their way through a neon underworld of sex, drugs, and the spinning wheels of chance.

  • "Construit autour de la fugue d'un enfant de 12 ans, Newell Ewing, ce roman est une plongée dans la marginalité américaine. Une nuit d'été à Las Vegas, se croisent une fille au crâne rasé accro à la drogue, un livreur de films X couvert de tatouages, un dessinateur de BD fan de jeux vidéo et une strip-teaseuse en mal de gloire. Comme l'enfant, tous sont en rupture avec leur famille. Premier roman."

  • "The disappearance of twelve-year-old Newell Ewing and the resulting mystery bring together the lives of a group of seemingly unrelated strangers in Las Vegas--including his parents, an illustrator, a stripper, a teenage anarchist, and a group of street runaways."
  • "La historia de un hijo problemático de 12 años que se desaparece en Las Vegas, Nevada. Cuenta la reacción de sus padres, sus amigos y otros personajes. El autor, que tomó once años para escribirla, narra una historia de Estados Unidos de los últimos tiempos gracias a su duro pero entrañable retrato de las ambiciones y miserias que pueblan las calles de Las Vegas."
