No one less than writer Sinclair Lewis remarked upon receiving his Nobel Prize, "This award should go to Louis Bromfield." Lewis's comment was not merely a humble gesture but a genuine acknowledgment of Bromfield's life and work. Bromfield authored many books, each bringing something new. The novel "Wild is the River" is somewhat historical, set during the exciting period of the Civil War. However, it is not about costumes and lofty speeches; it depicts the vibrant life of a tumultuous era. The protagonists face intense mental struggles, and the narrative captures the real battles between Americans from the North and South, featuring colorful episodes with vividly portrayed characters and a passion that does not shy away from crime—all against the backdrop of the wild and majestic Mississippi River. This new Bromfield novel stands out, as evidenced by its translations into leading world languages.
