Description
Set on the Minnesota prairie in the late 1980s during a drought season that’s pushing family farms to the brink, Little Wolves
features the intertwining stories of a father searching for answers
after his son commits a heinous murder, and a pastor’s wife (and
washed-out scholar of early Anglo-Saxon literature) who has returned to
the town for mysterious reasons of her own. A penetrating look at
small-town America from the award-winning author of The Night Birds, Little Wolves
weaves together elements of folklore and Norse mythology while being
driven by a powerful murder mystery; a page-turning literary triumph.
Advance Praise
"A complicated portrait of a prairie town, a meditation
on violence, a fantasia of myth and folklore, and a knockout murder mystery . .
. a gothic cousin to Kent Haruf's Plainsong.
—Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon, The Wilding and Refresh,
Refresh
"The poetry of this prose and the suspense of the plot, along with the
intensity of characterization will have many readers comparing Thomas Maltman
to Cormac McCarthy…. A work of high art by the real thing."
—Laura Kasischke, author of The Life Before Her Eyes
"This novel churns with the tension of a building prairie
thunderstorm."
—John Reimringer, author of Vestments
—Elizabeth Cox, Author of The Slow Moon
"A masterwork of fiction.”
—Peter Geye, author of Safe from the Sea
