Finished! Still processing this one, it's a difficult one to summarize. It's a novel about a confederate soldier who escapes from a field hospital & tries to make his way home without being caught; it also follows the woman he loves as she learns how to fend for herself after her father's unexpected death alongside another woman who has lived a much harder life than she. The book is filled with warring philosophies on humankind's responsibilities to others, our relationship to the natural world, the nature of happiness & its worth, & all sorts of other substantial themes. I found it a little difficult to engage with at times, but I'm so glad I stuck with it, it's a really high-quality piece of writing. #nofilter #noedit #book #books #bookstagram #reader #reading #bookworm #literature #fiction #historicalfiction #civilwar #coldmountain #charlesfrazier https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ab1ZDhh8O/?igshid=1cn9vos7gwct5

...for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you were. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're only left with your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not.

My quarantine #tbrlist is growing. Mostly #charlesfrazier since his books are huge inspirations for me as a writer and for #themooneyedones universe. Black Indian by #shondabuchanan is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It’s actually the first book in a while that I read in one sitting. If you can read it, please do. It is a great insight to generational trauma and coming from a long line of mixed family. #writerlife #reading #bookstagram #amreading #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/B_c1WmKBkUt/?igshid=rppc6hha3gbj

Another completed collection. I’m glad to have had the opportunity last night to go to @bereacollege and meet Charles Frazier. I truely think ‘Cold Mountain’ is an American classic, and he was kind enough to sign each of my firsts. His new book ‘Varina,’ tracks the life of Jefferson Davis’ wife before and after the war. He seemed to really get a kick out of the old Andes touring guide, and went picture by picture through the book to tell us his memories. Glad to meet him. Though there are prereleased limited editions of the other major novels, I don’t really plan on hunting them down (though I would be tempted by a Cold Mountain). The Captain’s Shelf in Asheville did at least a couple of them and they are beautiful in their slip cases. Signed first edition, all in Very Good - Fine condition. . . . . . #charlesfrazier #coldmountain #thirteenmoons #nightwoods #varina #bereacollege #appalachianheritage #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SwOown2WV/?igshid=95u7fj5e824s

Charles Frazier, auteur de Thirteen Moons, connait bien le décor de son roman, qui s’étend de plusieurs hectares de montagnes, de forêts et de vallées. Vraiment épique, ce livre de poche de 400 pages au caractère minuscule mais très joli de Fournier, raconte la vie d’un homme fictif d’orphelin à chef (et colonel et sénateur américain) dans la nation Cherokee à l’époque du renvoi.

Je pense que Frazier respecte les parties non humaines du roman ; à savoir la flore et la faune. Certes, ses personnages sont richement décrits, mais ils ne me plaisent pas. Je n’aimerais surtout pas rencontre d’eux, surtout après avoir lu. Ils sont tous à court. Will Cooper, l’homme de l’heure, est assez habile pour accumuler de nombreux plaisirs tout en défendant modestement et avec virilité son peuple adoptif. Pourtant, ses desseins principaux, préservant la patrie des Cherokees et gagner son véritable amour, sont construits de la paille. Featherstone, l’une des figures paternelles de Will, s’avère être son rival de la manière la plus laide, mais il est dépeint de façon absurde comme une parte impitoyable, une parte mystérieuse et une parte tordue, dont rien n’a été prouvé ni révoqué. Bear, l’autre figure du père, a des lignes plus vraies, mais chaque fois qu’il est décrit, il est toujours aussi sombre qu’un dessin. C’est peut-être parce qu’il est presque toujours dans sa maison de ville en hiver. Claire est juste hors de portée, même s’ils sont heureusement dans les bras l’une de l’autre pour une bonne part. Parce qu’elle a une perte inexplicable ou un manque d’émotion quand cela compte vraiment, elle n’est pas à la hauteur de l’intensité poignante que Will lui raconte.

Un personnage, mineur mais doté d’un chapitre approfondi et crucial, Charley, se démarque. Ses récits, et en particulier sa fuite dans la forêt de lauriers comptent parmi les plus beaux écrits du livre. Will, Featherstone, Bear et Claire sont remarquablement détaillés. Je viens de m’ennuyer ennuie de la façon dont qu’ils habitaient mon propre espace cérébral. Je ne pouvais pas les justifier.
