Jim Harrison

From her home on the California coast, Dalva hears the broad silence of the Nebraska prairie where she was born and longs for the son she gave up for adoption years before. Beautiful, fearless, tormented, at forty-five she has lived a life of lovers and adventures. Now, Dalva begins a journey that will take her back to the bosom of her family, to the half-Sioux lover of her youth and to a pioneering great-grandfather whose journals recount the bloody annihilation of the Plains Indians. On the way, she discovers a story that stretches from East to West, from the Civil War to Wounded Knee and Vietnam, and finds the balm to heal her wild and wounded soul. One of Harrison's most ambitious novels, Dalva explores an extraordinary family through the strong, engaging voice of an unforgettable woman, confirming Harrison as one of America's most memorable writers.

Dans ces mémoires à la troisième personne, l'écrivain au crépuscule de sa vie livre ses souvenirs : enfance, mariage, création littéraire, amours et amitiés, célébration des plaisirs de ta table, alcools et paradis artificiels... Jim Harrison revient sur des épisodes tantôt fondateurs tantôt anecdotiques de son existence, un exubérant pied de nez à la mort qui se profile. Véritable testament littéraire, ces humbles et ultimes confessions en marge de toutes les conventions sont à l'image de Big Jim : plus libre, plus touchant et plus provocateur que jamais.
