Demon Copperhead

Damon Fields bliver født på badeværelsesgulvet i en trailerpark i det sydvestlige Virginia i slutningen af 1980'erne. Hans enlige teenagemor har rustet sig til at føde med en blanding af alkohol og stoffer. Mens hun ryger ind og ud af afvænningsklinikker, ryger Damon, der snart får kælenavnet Demon, ind og ud af systemet og diverse plejefamilier. Da han får en knæskade, truer misbrugsmønstret med at gentage sig, og han får brug for sin kampgejst, sin charme, sin humor og sin ukuelige overlevelsesevne for at kunne klare det liv, der venter ham.

"Demon Copperhead" er en medrivende dannelsesroman, der strækker sig fra 1980’erne til i dag. Det er en episk fortælling om kærlighed, tab og alt derimellem, og en gribende beretning om det fattige udkants-USA, hvor opioiderne flyder frit, og hver dag er en kamp for overlevelse.

”Måske den bedste roman i 2022. Lige dele morsom og hjerteskærende. Det er fortællingen om en ukuelig dreng, som ingen vil have, men som læserne vil elske.”

Washington Post
