Almost never has a literary novel so captured the hearts and brains of visitors and listeners across America and the earth as E. Annie Proulx's The Shipment News, champion of the Country wide Book Honor and the Pulitzer Prize. Accordion Offences is another masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. The publication opens in 1890 in Sicily as an accordion manufacturer completes his finest tool and dreams of running a music store in America. He and his 11-year-old child, carrying little more than the accordion, voyage to the teeming, violent slot of New Orleans. Within the year, the accordion manufacturer is murdered by an anti-Italian lynching mob, but his tool carries Proulx's report as it falls in to the hands of various immigrants who carry it from Iowa to Texas, from Maine to Louisiana, searching for a good life. The music is their last link with the past - voice for his or her fantasies, sorrows and exuberance - but it, too, is required to change. Proulx's prodigious knowledge, heartbreaking character types, and daring storytelling unite the parts of Accordion Offences - a sensational novel, exhilarating in its range and originality.
