Title : Wounded - Percival Everett - book
Summary :
For years, John Hunt, now in his forties, has chosen to turn away from the society of men by going to live on a ranch where, alongside an aging uncle, he raises horses. But the fragile Eden of these two black men in the great American West begins to crack: a young homosexual is found in the desert beaten to death, an Indian farmer discovers two of his animals brutally murdered, and the inscription "Red Negro" in letters of blood in the snow... It is in this threatening context that John questions his life choices since the tragic death of his wife, the guilty silences that cover the actions of a disturbing neo-Nazi group, the imminent end of Uncle Gus, and finally, the love that a young woman awakens in him...
Favoring a writing of action that exalts the powers of the unsaid, Percival Everett offers, through a subtle denunciation of all the hatreds - racial, sexual - that wound contemporary America, a variation on the human condition, in its overwhelming vulnerability.
