Achterland
Anthos, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 383. Achterland is een indrukwekkende historische roman over loyaliteit en verraad in een tijd van opkomend nationalisme, over de offers die gebracht moeten worden om te kunnen overleven, en het boek vertelt over onbeantwoorde liefde en niet-vereffende rekeningen. In 1872 zeilt de USS Polaris naar de Noordpool om er de Amerikaanse vlag te planten. Maar de expeditie mislukt en de negentien deelnemers drijven weg op een grote ijsschots, ver van de kust van Ellesmere Island. Over deze historische gebeurtenis schreef Steven Heighton een prachtige roman, waarin drie van de overlevenden centraal staan wier levens ingrijpend en voorgoed veranderen. Een van de schipbreukelingen is Roland Kruger, een Duitse immigrant die aan een wreed regime is ontsnapt. Wanneer nationalistische gedragscodes ook op het ijs gaan gelden, krijgt hij het gevoel dat hij opnieuw onderdrukt wordt. De Amerikaan George Tyson neemt de rol van leider op zich. Zijn pogingen om orde te handhaven worden ondermijnd door zijn onzekerheid en zijn hunkering naar erkenning. Tukulito, de Indiaanse tolk, wordt heen en weer geslingerd tussen de tradities van haar eigen volk en de omgangsvormen van haar medeoverlevenden op het ijs. Steven Heighton werd internationaal bekend als dichter. Achterland is zijn eerste roman die in Nederland verschijnt. Heighton woont in Ontario, Canada. 'Steven Heighton is een van de beste schrijvers van Canada.' - Barbara Gowdy Vol levenslust en wilskracht, en vermakelijk [.] Heighton behoort tot de meest getalenteerde Canadese auteurs.'- Times Literary Supplement.

The Shadow Boxer
Toronto: Knopf Canada, 2000. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0676971938. Tight bright book in barely rubbed DJ. ; 390 pages; Steven Heighton is already recognized as one of the best writers to come to the fore in the nineties, a winner of numerous literary awards, whose work is widely translated. In The Shadow Boxer, he delivers a stunning portrait of the artist in the tradition of such great tales as Jude the Obscure, Candide and even Don Quixote, and gives literary life to the Northern Ontario landscape of "the Soo", and the demanding, muscular life of Lake Superior where giant ore-barges make their way over the grave of The Edmund Fitzgerald. Intricately patterned and multi-layered, this is the story of Sevigne Torrins, poet and boxer, who sets off into the world to make it, and whose romantic and professional misadventures take him as far as Egypt before he finds his way back to the Great Lakes. But the classic writerly dream that Sevigne pursues turns out in practice to have a different and darker reality than any he had foreseen.A passionate love story, a gripping narrative, The Shadow Boxer is also about the power of dreams and regret. It heralds a major new Canadian novelist and a master storyteller.. Fine in Fine dust jacket .
