In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades.While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “Douglas Stuart brilliantly weaved a layered, compelling and yet so intimate a story of identity, what it means to belong, and the courage to claim your own truth.”—Oprah WinfreyJohn of John has the emotional range and sense of sympathy of his earlier books, but this book is special, it has an urgency, an immediacy, a brilliant sense of place, the drama of fierce emotion repressed, concealed and volcanically exposed. -- Colm Tóibín, author of Long IslandQuiet, gentle, and totally heart-wrenching, John of John is Douglas Stuart at his best. Books are often described as ‘future classics’ but John of John is a modern classic in the here and now. Don’t just take my word for it - the novel was recently selected as an Oprah Book Club Pick as well as a finalist for The Orwell Prize in the Political Fiction category. Surely, John of John will be on any Booker Prize list this year. Reader, hold this masterpiece in your hands and feel yourself forever changed. ― Mirror
