Description: Aquarium by David Vann 2015 Atlantic Monthly Press softcover 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/4 inches 266 pages. Advance Reading Copy Front cover and several pages creased, no writing, tears or highlighting. (from the back cover) Widely acclaimed around the world, David Vann is "an artist" (New York Times), "a truly great writer" (Irish Sunday Independent), "one of the best writers of his generation" (Le Figaro) - and quite possibly the greatest American author you have yet to discover David Vann's dazzling debut Legend of a Suicide sold over 250,000 copies in France alone; was reviewed in over 150 major global publications, won eleven prizes worldwide, was on forty Best Books of the Year lists, and established its author as a literary master. Since then, internationally bestselling Vann has delivered an exceptional body of work, receiving fifteen awards including best foreign novel in France and Spain (France's Prix Medicis Etranger, Spain's Premi Uibreter), a California Book Award, and the Grace Paley Prize. Aquarium, his implosive new book and the first to be published by Grove Adantic, will take Vann to a wider audience than ever before. Twelve-year-old Caidin lives alone with her mother - a docker at the local container port - in subsidized housing next to an airport in Seattle. Each day; while she waits to be picked up after school, Caidin visits the local aquarium to study the fish. When she befriends an old man at the tanks one day; who seems as enamored of the fish as she, Caidin cracks open a dark family secret and propels her once-blissful relationship with her mother toward a precipice of tenifying consequence. In crystalline, chiseled yet graceful prose, Aquarium takes us into the heart of a brave young girl whose longing for love and capacity for forgiveness transforms the damaged people around her. Relendess and heartbreaking, primal and redemptive, Aquarium is a transporting story from one of the best American writers of our time.
