From the acclaimed author of 'A Father's Story': A boy looks to the Catholic Church for understanding as his family weathers two failed marriages. Voices from the Moon opens amidst the fallout of Stowe family patriarch Greg's divorce from his wife, Joan; and shortly after, that of their eldest son, Larry, from his wife, Brenda. On the verge of adolescence, young Richie Stowe grapples to make sense of these events and their consequences, and seeks solace in the church. As the family attempts to mend itself and move forward, its members are forced to reconcile their feelings of betrayal with their enduring love for one another.   Masterfully related from the alternating perspectives of its six main characters, Dubus's richly drawn novella recounts a family's failure to abide by those laws divined and decreed, and its path to redemption via understanding and forgiveness.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Andre Dubus including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.  … (meer)

Questo di Dubus è un regalo che bisognerebbe farsi. Ci sono intere frasi che andrebbero messe come tagline della propria esistenza. ( )

Sono giorni che cerco di capire, o meglio, di trovare il modo di spiegare, perché Voci dalla luna mi sia piaciuto così poco.

Ho pensato che fosse perché il racconto è immerso in un contesto a me troppo lontano, non mi ci riconosco. Ma non è solo questo, altrimenti non mi sarebbere dovuto piacere neanche Carver, o, che so, I fratelli Karamazov.
I primi tre quarti del racconto mi hanno annoiato, addirittura irritato in certi punti.
Troppo cattomedioborghese americano, non so come dire.
Salvo forse solo l'ultima parte, quella di Joan.

Il punto è che non mi ha stupito, non mi ha raccontato nulla di nuovo, nulla che io non trovassi ovvio.
Sicuramente è una cosa mia, personale, magari la mia età, non lo so.

Mi ha raccontato di una società che non mi piace, prendendone proprio il succo estremo, e non mi ha rivelato nulla.
Non mi ha divertito, nel senso latino del termine, e non mi ha fornito nessuno spunto.
Che forse alla fin fine sono le cose che fanno sì che un libro mi piaccia. ( )
