ONDAATJE, MICHAEL — Divisadero

Warsaw, Swiat Ksiazki. 2009, 1st Polish Edition. (ISBN: 9788324707355) Laminated Hardcover. Book, Divisadero takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada's casinos, and eventually to the landscape of south central France. It is here, outside a small rural village, that Anna becomes immersed in the life and the world of a writer from an earlier time - Lucien Segura. His compelling story, which has its beginnings at the turn of the century, circles around "the raw truth" of Anna's own life, the one she's left behind but can never truly leave. And as the narrative moves back and forth in time and place, we discover each of the characters managing to find some foothold in a present rough-hewn from the past. Translated into Polish by Krysztof Pulawsky, 268p.[6 copies found in WorldCat]. New.
