FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018 +óÔé¼-£Like Huckleberry Finn written by Cormac McCarthy.+óÔé¼Ôäó -- Sunday Times H+â-Ñkan S+â-Âderstr+â-Âm is a man who has become a legend. Giant in size, rumoured to be bloodthirsty and fearless, he is known simply as +óÔé¼-£the Hawk+óÔé¼Ôäó. But behind this myth is a tale of loss and survival. As a young man H+â-Ñkan is sent from Gothenburg with his brother Linus to seek their fortunes in New York. In the chaos of the port, he is separated from Linus and finds himself instead on a ship bound for California. He speaks no English and has no money but determined to find his brother, H+â-Ñkan sets out on a journey east. As he travels on foot he moves against the tide of history, experiencing the Gold Rush and its effects, encountering capitalists and colonialists, explorers and early scientists, and witnessing the formation of America and the betrayal of its dream. In the Distance is a novel about radical foreignness +óÔé¼" about being lost in a country that does not yet exist. As H+â-Ñkan confronts desert and mountains, he is thrown between the threat of violence and devastating loneliness, all the while keeping the image of his brother, and the hope of companionship, in the distance. +óÔé¼-£Singular and deeply affecting+óÔé¼-ª In the Distance is a brutal, sad, tender coming-of-age story, set in a historical past that feels both familiar and at the same time like nothing we+óÔé¼Ôäóve ever encountered before.+óÔé¼Ôäó -- Guardian +óÔé¼-£Richly drawn and something like Huckleberry Finn written by Cormac McCarthy: an adventure story as well as a meditation on the meaning of home.+óÔé¼Ôäó-- Sunday Times +óÔé¼-£An extraordinary epic tale of a lone man+óÔé¼Ôäós journey into the heart of the American frontier+óÔé¼-ª Ultimately it is not his quest to be reunited with his brother that impels the novel: it is a good old-fashioned yearning of the human spirit, and a beautifully commodious meditation on its absolute unknowability.+óÔé¼Ôäó -- Financial Times +óÔé¼-£Exquisite: assured, moving and masterful, as profound and precise an evocation of loneliness as any book I+óÔé¼Ôäóve ever read.+óÔé¼Ôäó -- Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies
