This is certainly a book not to put all hands. The casual reader will be quickly overwhelmed by the task at hand, which is to overcome those 800 pages by following the staccato rhythm of the rise and fall of Wakonda, sometimes difficult, as through the thick foliage of a jungle, sometimes cheerfully, smiling on a country road. This novel takes you, knocks you, exhausts you, just like this irremediable exhausting and tireless river eating away its banks and its banks at night. It is right in the great American literature, that of Thoreau and Mark Twain, the wilderness is the great protagonist which the real characters make no allusion stop. The narrative process is actually very original but does not hurt because the views intersect, sometimes in the same sentence, so that it always seems that something will happen, and it something always happens with these colorful characters, these hillbillies of the American West. After 100 days of solitude, it emerges bloodless with the impression of having lived an adventure, having crossed a masterpiece and you are left with only one desire: to discover the film based on this work with Henry Fonda and Paul Newman (Sometimes A Great Notion which is the original title of the novel, The clan of diehards French). A big thank you to Dominique Bordes of the publishing house Mr. Toussaint Louverture for allowing the French readers to discover this great novel 50 years after its release in the United States.
