Demon Copperhead

"Romanen sjuder av ömhet och hjärtskärande sorg" Göteborgs-Posten

"En måste-läsning om att vara människa som berör på djupet och bär på både hopp och medmänsklighet." M-Magasin

Demon Copperhead kommer till världen på ett badrumsgolv i en husvagn. Hans artonåriga mamma ligger utslagen av droger och är knappt vid medvetande. Så börjar Demon sitt liv, redan på förhand dömd till en tillvaro kantad av fosterhemsplaceringar, utsatthet och missbruk.

I Lee County, Virginia, i Appalachernas sydliga delar växer Demon upp. Här är fattigdomen lika självklar som luften man andas och här marknadsför läkemedelsindustrin skoningslöst sina opioider mot de redan utsatta. Missbruket växer till en epidemi som slår hårt mot hela samhället.

Utan några andra tillgångar än sitt kopparfärgade hår, sin krassa humor och sin starka överlevnadsinstinkt, tar sig Demon Copperhead igenom barndomen och ungdomsåren. Han bärs av drömmen som hållit honom uppe ända sedan han var liten: att en dag få se havet. Frågan är vad som krävs för att den ska bli sann.

Demon Copperhead är en storslagen och drabbande roman om kärlek, förlust och allt däremellan. Den är också en skoningslös blick på det samhälle som än i dag tillåter de allra svagaste att gå under.

Kingsolver was named one the most important writers of the 20th Century by Writers Digest, and in 2023 won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel Demon Copperhead. In 2000 she received the National Humanities Medal, our country’s highest honor for service through the arts.

Critical acclaim for her work includes multiple awards from the American Booksellers Association and the American Library Association, a James Beard award, two-time Oprah Book Club selection, and the national book award of South Africa, among others. She was awarded Britain's prestigious Women's Prize for Fiction (formerly the Orange Prize) for both Demon Copperhead and The Lacuna, making Kingsolver the first author in the history of the prize to win it twice. In 2011, Kingsolver was awarded the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for the body of her work. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She has two daughters, Camille (born in 1987) and Lily (1996). She and her husband, Steven Hopp, live on a farm in southern Appalachia where they raise an extensive vegetable garden and Icelandic sheep.
