RETURN TO OAKPINE: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 02330013B59988
English Summary/英文概要： From a widely admired author, a poignant novel about homecoming, friendship, growing up, and growing old for fans of Richard Ford and Richard Russo
In this finely wrought portrait of western American life, Ron Carlson takes us to the small town of Oakpine, Wyoming, and into the lives of four men trying to make peace with who they are in the world.
In high school, these men were in a band. One of them, Jimmy, left Oakpine for New York City after the tragic death of his brother. A successful novelist, he has returned thirty years later, in 1999—because he is dying.
With Carlson’s characteristic grace, we learn what has become of these friends and the different directions of their lives. Craig and Frank never left; Mason, a top lawyer in Denver, is back in town to fix up and sell his parents’ house. Now that they are reunited, getting the band back together might be the most important thing they can do.
Return to Oakpine is a generous, tender look at friendship, family, and the roads not taken, by a writer at the peak of his craft.

在高中的时候,这些人在一个乐队里。其中的一个, Jimmy,在他哥哥不幸死后，离开了Oakpine到纽约市。三十年后，他已经是一个成功的小说家。在1999年，死后的遗体回到了Oakpine小镇。
由于Carlson特有的慈悲,我们认识到这些朋友发生了什么以及他们生活的不同的方向。Craig 和 Frank从未离开； Mason, 丹佛的顶级律师,为了修理和出售他父母的家才回到镇上去。现在,他们一起重组他们的乐队可能是他们可以做的最重要的事。
