"Преступления на аккордеоне" Энни Пру - это шедевр повествования, охватывающий столетие и континент. Он открывается в 1890 году на Сицилии, когда мастер по изготовлению аккордеонов и его сын, имея при себе всего лишь свой лучший баян, отправляются в многолюдный, жестокий порт Нового Орлеана. В течение года изготовитель аккордеона был убит антиитальянски настроенной толпой линчевателей, но его инструмент переносит действие романа в другое сообщество иммигрантов: американцев немецкого происхождения, основывающих новый город в Южной Дакоте. Перемещаясь из Южной Дакоты в Техас, из Монтаны в Мэн, девять захватывающих и запутанно связанных разделов романа освещают жизнь основателей нации, потомков мексиканцев, поляков, немцев, ирландцев, шотландцев и франко-канадцев. С помощью музыки аккордеона они выражают свои фантазии, печали и изобилие.

The third novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Shipping News', 'Accordion Crimes' spans generations, continents and a century and confirms the hallucinatory power of Proulx's writing.
'Accordion Crimes' is a masterpiece of story-telling that spans a century and a continent. It opens in 1890 in Sicily, when an accordion-maker and his son, carrying little more than his finest button accordion, begin their voyage to the teeming, violent port of New Orleans. Within a year, the accordion-maker is murdered by an anti-Italian lynch mob, but his instrument carries the novel into another community of immigrants: German-Americans founding a new town in South Dakota. Moving from South Dakota to Texas, from Montana to Maine, the nine instantly compelling and intricately connected sections of the novel illuminate the lives of the founders of a nation, descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Germans, Irish, Scots and Franco-Canadians. Through the music of the accordion they express their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance.
