About the Book

La nueva novela del norteamericano Donald Ray Pollock es un western que se mueve en el territorio de McCarthy, Faulkner y O'Connor, y que mezcla la sátira con saludables dosis de violencia cinematográfica al más puro estilo de Peckinpah, Tarantino o los Cohen.

Año 1917, en algún lugar olvidado de la frontera entre Georgia y Alabama. El anciano Pearl Jewett muere dejando a sus tres hijos varones para que prosigan con sus miserables existencias. Hasta ahora han llevado una vida honrada, convencidos de que su rectitud sería recompensada con un suculento banquete en el Paraíso. Pero los hermanos Jewett se han cansado de esperar al Cielo, e inspirados por las heroicas aventuras del villano literario Billy Bucket, ensillan sus caballos y atracan su primer banco.

El banquete celestial se mueve en el territorio de McCarthy, Faulkner y O#Connor, y mezcla la sátira con saludables dosis de violencia cinematográfica al más puro estilo de Peckinpah, Tarantino o los Cohen. Este western descarnado y desmesurado es también el retrato coral de una población en vías de adaptación al nuevo siglo, un lugar repleto de posibilidades adonde, día tras día, llegan los voluntarios para alistarse a la Gran Guerra pero también un agujero que oculta peligros en los rincones más insospechados.

Críticas:
«Una sátira tumultuosa sobre nuestra fe desesperada en la modernidad y nuestra interminable capacidad para la crueldad y para albergar pretensiones absurdas... Aunque nos gustaría pensar que todo esto pasó hace un siglo, el hecho es que esta condenada y divertida novela de Pollock entronca más que nunca con nuestro presente.»
The New York Times

«Leer las obras de Pollock es como situarse bajo una cascada de perversión humana. Todo el mundo es corrupto. Nadie se salva.»
The Boston Globe

«Con una prosa furiosa y un ojo faulkneriano para los personajes, Pollock llena su segunda novela de decenas de individuos memorables que encarnan el salto hacia el futuro de los Estados Unidos de principios del siglo XX.»
Publishers Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From Donald Ray Pollock, author of the highly acclaimed The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff, comes a dark, gritty, electrifying (and, disturbingly, weirdly funny) new novel that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American authors. It is 1917, in that sliver of border land that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble existence with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest; handsome; intelligent); Cob (short; heavy set; a bit slow); and Chimney (the youngest; thin; ill-tempered). Several hundred miles away in southern Ohio, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his son, Eddie, and his wife, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family's entire fortune, his life is put on a surprising, unforgettable, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the Jewetts. No good can come of it. Or can it? In the gothic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and Cormac McCarthy with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in increasingly dark and horrific ways, placing Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the genre's literary masters.
