Specificatii
"A Fugitive in Walden Woods manages that special magic of making
Thoreau's time in Walden Woods seem fresh and surprising and
necessary right now. Norman Lock tells the story of Samuel Long, an
escaped slave who encounters Thoreau, with insight and some welcome
humor. This is a patient and perceptive novel, a pleasure to read
even as it grapples with issues that affect the United States to
this day."--Victor La Valle, author of The Ballad of Black Tom and
The Changeling "Portraying the traumatic psychological aftershock
not of war but of slavery provides a convincing and complex
narrative of new hardships faced by escaped slave Samuel Long in
Norman Lock's bold and enlightening novel A Fugitive in Walden
Woods. It's an important novel that creates a vivid social context
for the masterpieces of such writers as Thoreau, Emerson, and
Hawthorne and also offers valuable insights about our current
conscious and unconscious racism."--Sena Jeter Naslund, author of
Ahab's Wife and The Fountain of St. James Court; or, Portrait of
the Artist as an Old Woman Samuel Long escapes slavery in Virginia,
traveling the Underground Railroad to Walden Woods where he
encounters Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel
Hawthorne, William Lloyd Garrison, and other transcendentalists and
abolitionists. While Long will experience his coming-of-age at
Walden Pond, his hosts will receive a lesson in human dignity,
culminating in a climactic act of civil disobedience. Against this
historical backdrop, Norman Lock's powerful narrative examines
issues that continue to divide the United States: racism,
privilege, and what it means to be free in America. Norman Lock is
the author of, most recently, the short story collection Love Among
the Particles, and three previous books in The American Novels
series: The Boy in His Winter, a re-envisioning of Mark Twain's
classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, American Meteor, an
homage to Walt Whitman and William Henry Jackson, and The Port-Win
