À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

An explosive novel of the wild, and the lengths humans will go to control it

The distant highlands, covered in snow and strewn with ancient bones, are an alien home for a puma from South America. But when Dusk escapes her captors, reports of killing sprees of sheep and shepherds are not long to follow.

The highlands are no less alien to twins Iris and Floyd, whose family history renders them outcasts. Out of work, money and friends, they hear of the significant bounty on Dusk’s head. They decide to join the hunt.

As they journey up into the wild, haunted country, they discover there's far more to the land and people than they imagined. Forced to make an uneasy alliance with a fellow tracker, the twins’ lifelong bond is put at risk. And as the trio close in on their prey, it becomes clear where the true danger lies . . .

Commentaires

'Magnificent'
'Dusk is a sublime novel of loss and redemption, fight and surrender, that left me in absolute awe. Robbie Arnott's prose is incandescent, his storytelling mythic and filled with a wisdom that extends beyond the page. With Dusk, he asserts himself as one of Australia's finest literary writers'
'Starkly beautiful and deeply felt... Dusk is a book about love: not just the love between the twins but the love they feel for the landscape… the pared-back textures of Dusk’s prose… recall those of Cormac McCarthy'
'A Conrad-like storyteller whose tales always tremble on the edge of the mythic and legendary'
'One of Australia’s finest writers'
'Arnott has an eye and an ear for description that can elevate otherwise quiet moments to something genuinely transcendent'
'Everything [in Dusk]…is drawn vividly, not least the stunning, monumental landscape: a character in itself, it seems to nod to past crimes and extinctions… an absorbing adventure'
'Arnott… writes with tenderness about characters and passion about the lands through they move. A stunner'
Dusk is my book of the year so far – a story of loyalty, betrayal, desperation and the ties that bind, which culminates in one of the finest closing scenes I’ve ever read
An expertly paced quest narrative doubling as the tale of a community riven by suspicion
