Produktbeschreibung
The publication of Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina was a landmark event that won the author a National Book Award nomination and launched her into the literary spotlight. Critics have likened Allison to Harper Lee, naming her the first writer of her generation to dramatize the lives and language of poor whites in the South. Since its appearance, the novel has inspired an award-winning film and has been banned from libraries and classrooms, championed by fans, and defended by critics. Greenville County, South Carolina, is a wild, lush place that is home to the Boatwright family--a tight-knit clan of rough-hewn, hard-drinking men who shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who get married young and age too quickly. At the heart of this story is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly keen perspective. When her stepfather Daddy Glen, "cold as death, mean as a snake," becomes increasingly more vicious toward her, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that tests the loyalty of her mother, Anney--and leads to a final, harrowing encounter from which there can be no turning back.
Autorenporträt
Dorothy Allison (11 de abril de 1949) es una escritora estadounidense cuyos textos se basan en temas como abuso sexual, abuso infantil, acoso escolar, feminismo y lesbianismo. De pequeña sufrió abusos sexuales de su padrastro durante unos siete años. Contrajo gonorrea por el acceso carnal de su padrastro y tuvo que someterse a un tratamiento que la privó de concebir hijos. Esta experiencia la llevó a dedicarse de lleno a labores activistas en beneficio del sexo seguro y en contra del abuso y explotación sexual en menores. Allison ha manifestado públicamente su lesbianismo, y ha participado en todo tipo de actividades de apoyo a la comunidad LGBT.2 Ha ganado una gran cantidad de premios por su obra escrita, incluyendo el Premio Literario Lambda en algunas ocasiones. Fue elegida como miembro de la Comunidad de Escritores Sureños.3 Dorothy es una de las fundadoras del movimiento "Lesbian Sex Mafia" junto a Kirstie Friddle de Quincy, Illinois. Dicho grupo se dedica a dar colaboración y apoyo moral a todas las mujeres sin importar su orientación sexual
