Duncan took almost 10 years to follow up the publication of his much-praised first novel, The River Why, but this massive second effort is well worth the wait. It is a stunning work: a complex tapestry of family tensions, baseball, politics and religion, by turns hilariously funny and agonizingly sad. Highly inventive formally, the novel is mainly narrated by Kincaid Chance, the youngest son in a family of four boys and identical twin girls, the children of Hugh Chance, a discouraged minor-league ballplayer whose once-promising career was curtained by an industrial accident, and his wife Laura, an increasingly fanatical Seventh-Day Adventist. The plot traces the working-out of the family's fate from the beginning of the Eisenhower years through the traumas of Vietnam.

They pack all the usual survival gear - plus a banjo and a bow and arrow - and head off. Unskilled and naïve, they paddle downstream, enjoying the exercise and the gorgeous scenery. But something is in the air. There are small signs at their canoes hit sudden rapids, the river seems polluted with litter and bird feathers, and during the night their tent is punctured by the talons of a hunting owl. Then, the following day, after mooring their canoes by the woods, they are approached by two sinister men. One is carrying a shotgun and the other a knife...

If you're drawn to poetry that not only explores personal emotion but also delves deep into the social and political issues of a nation, "Even the Dead" is a compelling choice. Cronin's work carries the weight of South Africa's turbulent history, melding the lyrical with the raw reality of life under apartheid. It's a powerful read that could offer insightful perspectives and emotional resonance.
