- Inhalt:
- It's the early 1970s and Dion Katthusen, thirteen, is growing up fatherless in a small village in northern Germany. An only child plagued with a devastating stutter, Dion is ostracized by his peers and finds solace in the company of nature, collecting dragonflies in a moor filled with myths and legends. On the precipice of adulthood, Dion begins to spill the secrets of his heart-his burning desire for faultless speech and his abiding relationship with his mother, a failed painter with secrets of her own. Even as Dion spins his story, his speech is filled with fissures and holes-much like the swampy earth that surrounds him. Nature, though so often sublime, can also be terribly cruel. Moor is Dion's story-a story of escaping the quicksand of loneliness and of the demands we make on love, even as those surrounding us are hurt in their misguided attempts to bear our suffering. A mysterious and experimental portrait of childhood, Moor is evocative and bold-Dion's story emerges from the forces of nature, his voice rising from the ground beneath the reader's feet, not soon to be forgotten.
