About the Book

El libro que escribió Kent Haruf antes de Nosotros en la noche. Una conmovedora historia sobre el final de la vida que cierra la «Trilogía de la Llanura».

Papá Lewis se sienta en el porche de casa junto a su mujer. El calor del verano de Colorado abrasa, pero él bebe despacio una cerveza bien fría mientras mira hacia las llanuras que se extienden más allá de donde le alcanza la vista. Le queda poco tiempo para disfrutar de estos grandes placeres cotidianos -su esposa, su pueblo, su casa-, pues le acaban de anunciar que está gravemente enfermo. Le quedan solo unos meses de vida.

A partir de esta noticia, descubrimos la terquedad y la ternura de Papá Lewis y la vida de los otros habitantes del pequeño pueblo de Holt, por el que ya paseamos en La canción de la llanura y Al final de la tarde, las dos primeras partes de la Trilogía de la Llanura, que ahora concluye con esta historia independiente. Kent Haruf teje una red de personajes y de relaciones formadas y transformadas a lo largo de las décadas, aderezadas con un viento constante y con el sempiterno olor a paja, tierra y trigo del noreste estadounidense.

Sin necesidad de alzar la voz y sin grandes artilugios literarios, Bendición es un himno solemne a los profundos y duraderos lazos que se establecen entre la gente común para afrontar las dificultades. Una reflexión magistral sobre el final de la vida, sobre cada una de las etapas intermedias y sobre los sueños y las esperanzas que nos sostienen durante el camino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year

From the beloved and best-selling author of Plainsong and Eventide comes a story of life and death, and the ties that bind, once again set out on the High Plains in Holt, Colorado.

When Dad Lewis is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he and his wife, Mary, must work together to make his final days as comfortable as possible. Their daughter, Lorraine, hastens back from Denver to help look after him; her devotion softens the bitter absence of their estranged son, Frank, but this cannot be willed away and remains a palpable presence for all three of them. Next door, a young girl named Alice moves in with her grandmother and contends with the painful memories that Dad's condition stirs up of her own mother's death. Meanwhile, the town's newly arrived preacher attempts to mend his strained relationships with his wife and teenaged son, a task that proves all the more challenging when he faces the disdain of his congregation after offering more than they are accustomed to getting on a Sunday morning. And throughout, an elderly widow and her middle-aged daughter do everything they can to ease the pain of their friends and neighbors.

Despite the travails that each of these families faces, together they form bonds strong enough to carry them through the most difficult of times. Bracing, sad and deeply illuminating, Benediction captures the fullness of life by representing every stage of it, including its extinction, as well as the hopes and dreams that sustain us along the way. Here Kent Haruf gives us his most indelible portrait yet of this small town and reveals, with grace and insight, the compassion, the suffering and, above all, the humanity of its inhabitants.


About the Author: Kent Haruf es autor de seis novelas. Sus historias parten siempre de los espacios y las gentes de ciertas pequeñas comunidades de Colorado, de donde era oriundo.

Ha sido galardonado con el Whiting Foundation Writers' Award, el Mountains & Plains Booksellers Award y el Wallace Stegner Award. Obtuvo también una mención especial de la PEN/Hemingway Foundation y fue finalista del National Book Award, el Los Angeles Times Book Prize y el New Yorker Book Award.

Después de que, en febrero de 2014, los médicos le diagnosticaran que le quedaba poco tiempo de vida, Haruf logró reunir fuerzas para escribir su última novela, Nosotros en la noche. En Literatura Random House también hemos publicado su «Trilogía de la Llanura», compuesta por La canción de la llanura, Al final de la tarde y Bendición, tres historias ambientadas en el mítico e imaginario pueblo de Holt que se pueden leer independientemente.
