Annalee Pearce is a pregnant 16-year-old who has been placed in a corrective centre run by nuns for refusing to co-operate with authorities. Once in there, she soon rebels, breaks a sister's jaw with a "roundhouse right" and, when her son Daniel is born, she steals away into the rain.

Review:
"A glorious narrative, peopled by characters of genuine imaginative force" (Herald)
"Reading Stone Junction is like being at a non-stop party in celebration of everything that matters" (Thomas Pynchon)
"An irresistible kaleidoscope of manic, tragic and exquisitely funny Americana" (Time Out)
"A work of genius" (Big Issue)
"It's a demented modern odyssey of one strange man's quest for truth and knowledge in a decidedly bizarre - and decidedly American - world" (Sunday Tribune)
"This novel is remarkable for its breadth. Amo is skilfully woven into the fabric of real America, and Dodge's sweeping take on that country, combined with the humanity of each of his vast array of characters, lends this book a particular kind of majesty" (The Observer)
"Within half an hour of starting this novel, I was absolutely hooked . . . it kept me guessing all the way to the end" (The Times)
"It is a non-stop take, making you laugh, cry and wonder. The characters are excellent and even though you know you that many of the events are genuinely impossible, it feels completely believable thoughout" (Highland News Group)

Book Description Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. Description : Numéro 4281 dans la collection Domaine étranger.Préface de Thomas Pynchon Présentation en quatrième de couverture -- Après la mort dramatique de sa mère dans une explosion, Daniel Pearse est recueilli par l'AMO, une société secrète d'alchimistes et de hors-la-loi. Initié aux savoirs d'un monde underground, allant de la méditation au casse de coffres-forts, en passant par le réajustement karmique ou les subtilités du poker, l'apprenti sorcier entame son aventure hallucinée. Fort de ces enseignements, il pourra mener sa quête de la vérité sur le meurtre de sa mère et la mission subversive à laquelle ses Maîtres l'ont préparé : dérober un étrange diamant détenu par le gouvernement. Revisitant le genre du roman d'apprentissage à la lumière de la contre-culture américaine, Jim Dodge nous livre un récit haletant et iconoclaste où merveilleux rime avec séditieux. -- . | Préface : Préface de Thomas Pynchon | Titre original : Stone junction | Traduction : Traduit de l'américain par Nicolas Richard.
