A 11 year old hand with his father, his grandfather and friend of the family for a deer hunt on the lands of the family ranch of Goat Mountain. We are in autumn 1978. Traditionally the child finally landslide his first deer. Upon arrival on the ranch, the father sees a poacher observed in the telescope of his rifle and passes the gun to his son so that it is also observed, and the inevitable happens .... .the blow by killing the poacher net! And this is the beginning of a gear that will delve even further into hell.
The writing of David Vann is a reflection of its history, stuffy, made of ultra-short sentences. Oppressive atmosphere, hardly sustainable as some scenes flirt with barbarism!
"Mountain Goat" is in my opinion the level of his brilliant first novel "Sukkwan Island". To be, is full I can only advise you to read the heels "Last Day on Earth" Vann story just published in Gallmeister. David Vann story in which delves into the life of a killer to light his past, absolutely exciting!
