SYNOPSIS
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
"Fast-paced [and] riveting . . . Stone is one of our transcendently great American novelists." — Madison Smartt Bell
"Brilliant." — Washington Post
At an elite college in a once-decaying New England city, Steven Brookman has come to a decision. A brilliant but careless professor, he has determined that for the sake of his marriage, and his soul, he must end his relationship with Maud Stack, his electrifying student, whose papers are always late yet always incandescent. But Maud is a young woman whose passions are not easily curtailed, and their union will quickly yield tragic and far-reaching consequences.
Death of the Black-Haired Girl is an irresistible tale of infidelity, accountability, the allure of youth, the promise of absolution, and the notion that madness is everywhere, in plain sight.
"At once unsparing and generous in its vision of humanity, by turns propulsive and poetic, Death of the Black-Haired Girl is wise, brave, and beautifully just." — Boston Globe
"Unsettling and tightly wrought—and a worthy cautionary tale about capital-C consequences." — Entertainment Weekly
"A taut, forceful, lacerating novel, full of beautifully crafted language." — Los Angeles Review of Books

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Stone
Robert Stone (21 de agosto de 1937 - 10 de janeiro de 2015) foi um romancista americano.
Foi duas vezes finalista do Prémio Pulitzer e uma vez do Prémio PEN/Faulkner. Stone foi cinco vezes finalista do National Book Award for Fiction, que recebeu em 1975 pelo seu romance Dog Soldiers. A revista Time incluiu esse romance na sua lista TIME 100 Melhores Romances em inglês de 1923 a 2005. Dog Soldiers foi adaptado para o filme Who'll Stop the Rain (1978), protagonizado por Nick Nolte, a partir de um argumento que Stone coescreveu.
Durante a sua vida, Stone recebeu apoio material e reconhecimento, incluindo Guggenheim e National Endowment for the Humanities, os cinco anos Mildred e Harold Strauss Living Award, o John Dos Passos de Literatura e o American Academy e Institute of Arts and Letters Award. Stone também ofereceu o seu próprio apoio e reconhecimento a escritores durante sua vida, atuando como Presidente do Conselho de Administração da Fundação PEN/Faulkner por mais de trinta anos.
O trabalho mais conhecido de Stone é caracterizado por aventuras de ação, preocupações políticas e humor sombrio. Muitos dos seus romances passam-se em paisagens incomuns e exóticas de turbulência social, como a Guerra do Vietname; uma violenta república das bananas pós-golpe na América Central; Jim Crow era Nova Orleães e Jerusalém à beira do milénio.
