Hamilton Stark is a New Hampshire pipe fitter and the sole inhabitant of the house from which he evicted his own mother. He is the villain of five marriages and the father of a daughter so obsessed that she has been writing a book about him for years. Hamilton Stark is a boor, a misanthrope, a handsome man: funny, passionately honest, and a good dancer. The narrator, a middle-aged writer, decides to write about Stark as a hero whose anger and solitude represent passion and wisdom. At the same time that he tells Hamilton Stark's story, he describes the process of writing the novel and the complicated connections between truth and fiction. As Stark slips in and out of focus, maddeningly elusive and fascinatingly complex, this beguiling novel becomes at once a compelling meditation on identity and a thoroughly engaging story of life on the cold edge of New England.

Qui a vraiment connu Hamilton Stark ? Le narrateur ? Sa fille, Rochelle, qui a entrepris d'écrire le roman paternel ? Ou ses cinq épouses dont on peut lire les témoignages recueillis au magnétophone ? Et puis, Stark, ce plombier volontiers violent, est-il aussi fruste que le suggèrent certains de ses comportements ? Ne vit-il pas plutôt selon les principes inattendus d'une véritable sagesse ? N'est-il pas l'un des derniers, dans l'Amérique contemporaine, à résister à la corruption et au mensonge ? Anecdotes, contes, récits, souvenirs en vrac, documents retraçant l'histoire (presque la préhistoire) du New Hampshire où vit Hamilton Stark se tissent autour de lui et du mystère de son identité. On pourrait d'ailleurs voir dans Hamilton Stark un répertoire des techniques contemporaines pour écrire ce "grand roman américain" qui hante presque tous les écrivains d'outre-Atlantique. Russell Banks nous propose, en effet, une analyse échevelée de la question du personnage en littérature, et sa méditation sur la fonction du héros comme sur l'art de la fiction nous procure ces moments d'exaltation intellectuelle que l'on ne rencontre que chez les plus grands.

Literary Luxuries written by Joe David Bellamy and has been published by University of Missouri Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1995 with Fiction categories.

From the Iowa Writers Workshop to the halls of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts, from the world of literary magazines and writers' conferences to the bizarre realm of the late-twentieth-century American English department, Literary Luxuries takes the reader on a guided tour of American literary life in our time--and the forces threatening its existence. Joe David Bellamy has been a significant figure on the literary scene during the last three decades; as a "literary Everyman," he offers in Literary Luxuries a distinctive and valuable perspective on the culture wars, on education and the imagination, on particular writers and major literary and aesthetic movements, on the role of government in fostering cultural development, and on the day-to-day strife of the writer's life in the United States. As director of the literature program of the National Endowment for the Arts, Bellamy had the unenviable task of trying to persuade Congress and ordinary citizens that American literature is worthy of support, and in Literary Luxuries he continues that debate and helps us to understand its implications: "Literature is our national treasury of language and style and our best reckoning about human life, as it is lived in this time and place." Part memoir, part critique, part impassioned defense of American literary culture and the values it espouses and struggles to uphold, Literary Luxuries offers unforgettable commentary on the literary life in the United States during the last decades of the twentieth century as described from the perspective of one of its key participants.
