Percy, B: Red Moon

Benjamin Percy wuchs auf im tiefsten Oregon. Er lehrt Creative Writing an der Iowa State University.

"Benjamin Percy is one of the most gifted and versatile writers to appear in American publishing in years... His prose has the masculine power of Ernest Hemingway's, but also the sensibilities and compassion of Eudora Welty. His writing is like a meeting of Shakespeare and rock 'n' roll. Benjamin Percy knows how to keep it in E-major, and what a ride it is." -- James Lee Burke, author of Feast Day of Fools 'With RED MOON one of our most blazingly gifted young writers stakes his claim to national attention. Benjamin Percy has one great advantage over most writers who attempt "literary horror": he understands the literature of real horror from the inside out, and he speaks it like a native. This is a novel with the power to thrill and transport, also to lead the reader welll out of her comfort zone and into emotional territory few people have ever seen.' -- Peter Straub 'Yes, this is a doomsday novel, an Armageddon novel, a futuristic novel, but RED MOON is also more perfectly constructed and flat-out better written than novels of that kind usually are. This is a serious, politically symbolic novel -- a literary novel about lycanthropes. If George Orwell had imagined a future where the werewolf population had grown to the degree that they were colonized and drugged, this terrifying novel might be it.' -- John Irving
