Bücher von Larry Woiwode

His real name is not Poppa John. His life has been built upon a variety of disguises. Close to seventy, wise, crotchety, troubled, outspoken, he is one of those elusive individuals whose very shifts and turnings serve to make him more himself and entirely unique. Compressed, music-like, lit with humor, Poppa John is a small book of awesome content and dimension.

Woiwode first introduced the Neumiller family in the critically acclaimed novel Beyond the Bedroom Wall. In Born Brothers he returns to this North Dakota family, focusing on the 30-year relationship between two Neumiller brothers, Charles and Jerome.The lives of two brothers from North Dakota are followed for thirty years through hatred and friendship.
