In early 2006, Chuck Ramkissoon is found dead at the bottom of a New York canal. In London, a Dutch banker named Hans van den Broek hears the news, and remembers his unlikely friendship with Chuck and the off-kilter New York in which it flourished: the New York of 9/11, the powercut and the Iraq war.

Review:
'Netherland is so expertly woven that it is impossible for a reader not to admire what it essentially is - a beautifully written exploration of memory and self.' Sunday Telegraph
'The wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we've yet had about life in New York and London after the World Trade Centre fell. I devoured it in three thirsty gulps, gulps that satisfied a craving I didn't know I had. O'Neill seems incapable of composing a boring sentence or thinking an uninteresting thought.' New York Times
'O'Neill writes about cricket with an insider's knowledge and a metaphorical sweep. The result is the first great American novel underpinned by a deep understanding of the complexity of spin bowling. A novel full of vividly descriptive passages that possess a heightened, almost hallucinatory, brilliance. A great American novel with an ordinary European everyman at its centre.' Observer
'Elegant and profound' Sunday Times
'Extraordinary. O'Neill is a writer of dizzying elegance.' FT
'It is hard to know which is stranger - that a great American novel has been written about cricket, or that a great cricket novel should be set in America. But both are true. Netherland is ambitious, intelligent and deeply perceptive.' The Times

Résumé : Hans et Rachel vivent à New York avec leur jeune fils lorsque surviennent les attentats du 11-Septembre. Quelques jours plus tard, ils se séparent, et Hans se retrouve seul, perdu dans Manhattan, où il ne se sent plus chez lui. Il fait la connaissance de Chuck, un homme d affaires survolté qui rêve de lancer le cricket à New York. Sur des terrains de fortune, Hans tente d échapper à la mélancolie. Le charisme de Chuck draine une foule de joueurs du dimanche, tous venus d ailleurs de Trinidad, de Guyane ou de plus loin encore , tous persuadés que l Amérique reste le pays des possibles. Alors que le monde entier ne croit plus en rien, eux continuent d espérer. Au milieu de ces exilés, Hans retrouve un second souffle. Mais qui est Chuck ? Il faudra des années avant que le mystère qui entoure sa véritable identité finisse par se dissiper. Ce très beau livre, souvent comparé à Gatsby le Magnifique, est à la fois une parabole sur la fin du rêve américain et un roman d amour aux résonances poignantes. Seller Inventory # pa6239
