In the Distance, Paperback/Hernan Diaz

This lyrical western about loneliness and companionship follows legendary giant 'the Hawk' as he yearns to be reunited with his brother Linus, lost after their arrival in New York from Gothenburg. Capitalists, colonialists and early scientists populate the raw and nascent America the Hawk conducts his search through, in this hypnotic, violent and surprising debut.
