Mark Morganstern Ordre des livres

Sergeant Coot Friedman comes back from the Afghanistan War to an upstate New York village nestled at the foot of a legendary mountain. But for a man with a wayward mind, going home is not easy. He tangles with small town mayhem, certifiably crazy characters, ghosts, visions, and dark forces—both those wearing suits and the more mystical variety. And throughout it all, maintains his taste for good beer. "Among the mad hallucinations of a damaged veteran who has a mystical relationship with a mountain, and the sharply-observed eccentricities of a small town, Morganstern discovers the basic goodness of humanity. He reveals sanity at the heart of madness and chaos, and he does so with wry humor and earthy warmth. A wild and roiling ride."—Tom Newton, winner of the Dactyl Foundation Literary Award for Seven Cries of Delight
