Resumen del Editor
Barbara Kingsolver ontving de Pulitzer Prize en de Women's Prize for Fiction 2023 voor Demon Copperhead, een beeldend en episch verhaal over een jongen die opgroeit te midden van armoede en drugsverslaving.
Damon Fields, het zoontje van een alleenstaande tienermoeder, woont in een trailer in de bergen van de zuidelijke Appalachen. Hij heeft hetzelfde koperkleurige haar als zijn overleden vader, aan wie hij ook de bijnaam 'Demon Copperhead' te danken heeft. Afgezien van goede looks, bijtende humor en overlevingsdrift zit hem weinig mee in het leven.
Zijn moeder worstelt met haar verslaving aan pijnstillers. Nadat ze in het ziekenhuis terechtkomt met een overdosis, belandt Demon in het ene na het andere pleeggezin. Hij krijgt te maken met kinderarbeid, verwaarlozing en mishandeling, en met de gevolgen van de opiatencrisis die grote delen van de VS treft. Toch is er ook hoop als blijkt dat hij talent heeft voor American football. Zijn geluk is echter van korte duur. Wanneer hij geblesseerd raakt en zware pijnstillers krijgt, dreigt de cyclus van verslaving in zijn familie zich te herhalen. Maar zelfs op het dieptepunt overheerst zijn wil om te overleven.
Reseñas de la Crítica
Een Amerikaanse David Copperfield. In Demon Copperhead wordt het verhaal van Dickens verplaatst naar een hedendaags landelijk Amerika dat kampt met armoede en opiatenverslaving. Kingsolvers roman is even krachtig en meeslepend als het origineel.
-- The New York Times
Krachtige plotwendingen en kleurrijke personages: dit is echt verhalen vertellen. En wat voor verhaal: scherpzinnig, bezield en hartverscheurend levensecht.
-- The Guardian
Een buitengewone nieuwe roman. Net als in Douglas Stuarts Shuggie Bain of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield is er in Kingsolvers epische verhaal een zelfverklaarde mislukkeling met een hart van goud aan het woord.
-- San Francisco Chronicle
Kingsolver maakt maatschappelijke kwesties knap aanschouwelijk en voelbaar, in een plot vol (mis)avonturen die onweerstaanbaar voortdendert. Heel begrijpelijk dat zij juist voor deze roman haar eerste Pulitzer Prize ontving.
-- Het Parool
Wat een cadeau om al in maart een van de boeken van het jaar gepresenteerd te krijgen.
-- De Standaard

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.
