このコンテンツについて
A son returns home to his dying mother and discovers not only the shocking identity of the absent father he’d always wondered about, but a woman whose life he never truly understood
When 26-year-old Evan Klausner is suddenly called home to the secluded farmhouse where he was raised alone by his mother June, there is so much he does not yet know: the fact that his mother is dying; whether his biological father might really be Bob Dylan, whom Evan has revered since he was a teenager, and to whom Evan always has been told he bears an uncanny resemblance; the secrets of his mother’s life before he was born and what really drove her to this remote place, where he was brought up to believe in the healing, cathartic power of stories and, above all, of love.
In this heartbreaking jewelbox of a debut novel, Sam Sussman writes one of the most tender and devastating mother-son relationships of our era. Caring for his mother in real time, helplessly watching her fail even as she finally begins to tell him the truths he has waited so long to hear, Evan comes to understand what a gift this extraordinary woman has bequeathed him.
Directly inspired by the author’s own uncertain celebrity paternity, Boy from the North Country is a bildungsroman of stellar proportions.

"This novel has a haunting story to tell, and it tells it beautifully. It was a pleasure to read."—Vivian Gornick, author of Fierce Attachments
"Boy from the North Country is a debut novel of rare power, a page-turning story of a son learning to return to his mother's transformative love. Tragic and redemptive, poetic and provocative, this novel held me breathless at every turn. Sussman is a writer of many gifts."—Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Today Will Be Different
"Boy from the North Country is a monumental event for anyone who cares about Dylan. More meaningfully, the book transforms into an emotionally moving story of what it means to love a mother and be a son. Sussman has written one of the Great Millennial Novels and proved himself an inheritor of Dylan's lyrical tradition."—David Yaffe, author of Bob Dylan: Like a Complete Unkown and Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell
