A primal tale of cruelty and redemption The family farm has run to
ruin. Rafael's father has abandoned them. His older brothers, the
twins Mauro and Joaquin, blame Rafael for their father's departure
and exact revenge on their baby brother. Steban, Rafael's other
sibling, is a simpleton whose affections and allegiances change
with the shifting winds. Ruling over this dysfunctional roost is a
tyrannical and avaricious mother. There is nothing bucolic about
existence on a dilapidated farm on the lonely Patagonian steppe.
Life is ruthless, unforgiving, and bloody. As the family tensions
mount, daily life degenerates into open warfare, revealing dark
truths about the human soul. For readers of Coetzee's Disgrace, the
writing of Dorothy Alison, and the southern gothic of William
Faulkner, Nothing but Dust is a gripping, unsentimental, ultimately
majestic story about life in one of the most inhospitable places on
Earth.
