Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul David Adams Richards

Searing, brilliant, and tension-filled, this is a foreboding tale about truth, lies and justice - quintessential David Adams Richards. When a terrible accident unsettles the peace in a small, tight-knit community, who will pay the price? Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul tells an intricate story about the miscarriage of justice in the case of one man's death in a shipping yard in New Brunswick in 1985. The novel is a meticulous study of the various half-truths, political machinations and outright lies that lead to the unfair incrimination of one man, Roger Savage, in the death of Hector Penniac, a promising young Micmac man from a local First Nations reserve.

Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul Bewertungen

Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul...finds David Adams Richards at the top of his game... [the novel] unfolds with the weight and significance of an Old Testament story, anchored by a narrative voice that is at once prophetic and detached, rooted in a strongly oral storytelling tradition... It is not a subtle approach; it's a deceptively complicated one, and tremendously effective. The novel sparks with an immediacy and power that is rare to find in contemporary fiction: these are old questions and timeless concerns given face and voice by one of Canada's finest writers. - Robert J. Wiersema, Victoria Times-Colonist
