Více o knize
The world of Grouse County is a web of small towns in an imagined Midwest, where lives are intertwined by friendship, affection, or mere acquaintance. Here, Louise Darling decides to divorce Tiny and visits her mother, Mary, to take her out for lunch before a town council meeting discussing the fate of a biting dog. Meanwhile, Sheriff Dan Norman is on the trail of Louise's husband for vandalism committed at the school during a dance against vandalism. Thus, Dan meets Louise, falls in love with her, Tiny loses her forever, and Louise finally finds herself. Tom Drury does not manipulate his characters like puppets; instead, he skillfully draws strength from their encounters to create the epic of Grouse County. Light yet profound, both humorous and melancholic, The End of Vandalism depicts the everyday life that relentlessly grinds joys and sorrows. It does so without following predetermined paths, embracing the inevitability of existence in a tribute to its calm and uncontrollable randomness.
