Description
Ron Carlson's Five Skies is a novel about three men brought together for a construction project in the Rocky Mountains. Having been involved in a betrayal in Los Angeles, Arthur Key drifts into work as a carpenter in southern Idaho, where he joins Ronnie Panelli and Darwin Gallegos. As they build a stunt ramp beside a cavernous void, their pasts and present-day struggles begin to surface. In this story of simple yet grand endeavour, the three men reveal themselves in cautiously resonant ways. Through Carlson's voice, which is marked by striking intimacy and grace, profound themes emerge. This novel is a powerful exploration of human nature, one that will resonate with readers. Carlson's return to fiction after thirty years has resulted in a work that is sure to be praised and cherished by many.
