The Son
by Philipp Meyer
A 2013 staff fiction favorite recommended by Stephen.
His review: Critics are calling THE SON an “epic” American novel and I would agree. A multi-generational story of the McCullough family in Texas from the time Eli was kidnapped by Comanches in 1849 through his sons and his great-granddaughter to 2012. If you like Larry McMurty’s western novels you will like Eli’s story and if you like Cormac McCarthy’s writings you will like the tales of his sons and great-granddaughter. Meyer is a writer who gives you a sense of time and place with details and descriptions that put you there. The family trials and tribulations mirror the growth of the West and of America itself. A great read.
