Book ID/图书代码: 12312513B66489
English Summary/英文概要: Four Corners is a bare-knuckled debut novel in the style of Daniel Woodrell, Barry Hannah, and Charles Bowden —a savage, mean-streets thriller and a heartbreaking story of unfortunate love, carved from the barren, distinct landscapes of the American Southwest.
For the better part of 37 years, Frank Bruce has hobbled through his life, dragging his hunger for amphetamines, alcohol, and crime behind him like a heap of tarnished weight. Now, emboldened by the love of his child-fiancé Maddie, Frank goes on the run through the drug underworld of the Southwest trying to save a young boy from his meth-riddled father and casino mogul grandfather. Determined to protect what he loves, Frank seeks out his onetime mentor, drug kingpin Jon Santer, and in doing so, triggers a vile reckoning with Shenk, his henchmen, and his terrible, corrupt legacy.

Awards/获奖情况:“沃利•鲁多夫笔下刻画的这名瘾君子跌跌爬爬的经历了一段连续的灾难:暴行、逃亡、复仇,这一切都充满着自我毁灭的气息,使得他再无法成为一名祷告者----然而所有的人物都显得栩栩如生。书中的动作与打斗场面是紧急的、引人入胜的,而当所有的注意力落在桑特身上时,描写的细节又是那么的细致。沃利甚至其作品的边界,他的边界便是人心。”—杰克•巴特勒,普利策奖获奖作家,著有Living in Little Rock with Miss Little Rock
“Wally Rudolph’s meth-and-cocaine-addled protagonists reel through a nonstop catastrophe of violence, flight, and revenge, too self-destructive to have anything more than a prayer--but they are real. The action is urgent and compelling, the details are as crisp as the light that falls on Santa Fe. Wally knows the territory. And the territory is the human heart.”—Jack Butler, Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Living in Little Rock with Miss Little Rock

Born in Canada to Jamaican immigrant parents, Wally Rudolph smoked marijuana for the first time at age 14. The joint, rolled from pages from the Book of Revelations of a pocket-sized bible, was the start of a, 15-year affair with illicit drugs that had him drop out of college and took him back and forth across the American Midwest. His fiction has been published in Milk Money, Lines+Stars, The Brooklyner, and others. A graduate of The Second City Conservatory in Chicago, he now lives in LA where he acts –he’s appeared in numerous films and TV shows including Street Kings, Bang Bang, and Sons of Anarchy.
