- W367431325 abstract "'This fine first novel courts comparison with Willa Cather's O Pioneers! But there is a big difference, since O Pioneers! ...is about beginnings, while Leaving the Land is, sadly and disturbingly, about endings. It shows family farming giving way to corporate farming and agribusiness...Marge [Hogan] has character, which is probably not inheritable. It is a rare commodity in modern novels' - New York Times Book Review. 'Nothing can now reverse the decline of the way of life Unger describes, but his beautiful and haunting book is at least a worthy monument to it' - [London] Times Literary Supplement. 'Douglas Unger's first novel is one of [the] year's best...He's made a powerful debut' - Newsweek. 'An unusually mature first novel, as unsentimental as its unlucky heroine, but filled with a sly affection for unwitting victims' - New Yorker. 'An affecting, grittily realistic tale that moves to the steady, compelling rhythm of the changing seasons' - Publishers Weekly. 'Leaving the Land will win prizes. Or ought to. It is loving and tough and so honest it makes your teeth rattle...An outstanding book about who we are' - Boston Globe. 'A vivid and memorable portrait of a small South Dakota farming community whose colorful folk traditions and way of life are destroyed by corporate agribusiness. power of the book rests on it realistic characters...Unger's language is spare and clean - his prose often as stark as the land he describes' - San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle. reputation of Leaving the Land has grown steadily since its first publication in 1984. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Robert F. Kennedy Award and was an ALA Notable book in 1984. Douglas Unger, a professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is also the author of El Yanqui and The Turkey War, and, most recently, Voices from Silence: A Novel of Repression and Terror in Argentina." @default.
