«Julius Winsome» is the novel by Gerard Donovan, published by Éd. du Seuil in paperback (244 pages, in French).
Julius, a solitary man in his fifties, lives with his dog Hobbes in a cabin lost in the woods of Maine. He has inherited a rifle from his English grandfather, but prefers to immerse himself in books, including Shakespeare, rather than hunt. When his dog dies, probably at the hands of a hunter, his repressed violence erupts.
Translated from English by Georges-Michel Sarotte. Originally published in 2006; this French edition appeared in 2009. It was a candidate for the Prix des libraires du Québec 2010.
For readers of literary thriller who appreciate solitary characters, dogs as companions, and hostile winter landscapes.
Gerard Donovan, is an Irish-born novelist, photographer and poet living in Plymouth, England, working as a lecturer at the University of Plymouth.
