Other Voices, Other Places. A novel by Truman Capote. Translated by Atli Magnússon.
This mysterious novel tells the story of a 13-year-old boy, Joel Knox, who searches for his father on a dilapidated plantation in the heart of the American South, a place where strange and strange people are at every turn and disintegration and mental illness are just below the surface. The atmosphere of the story is half nightmare, half fairy tale. Due to the effects that Joel experiences in this environment, he simultaneously bids farewell to his childhood and gains the maturity and strength to see life through the eyes of an adult. The story is written in a magical realist style of the kind that many believe no one has mastered since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. - The author writes a foreword to the story.
