""Demon is a voice for the ages—akin to Huck Finn or Holden Caulfield—only even more resilient.” —Beth Macy, author of Dopesick
""May be the best novel of [the year]. . . . Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this is the story of an irrepressible boy nobody wants, but readers will love.” (Ron Charles, Washington Post)
From the acclaimed author of The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees, a brilliant novel that enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.
Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.

아팔라치아 산맥에 있는 작은 시골마을에 살았던 데몬이 자신의 어린시절을 회상하며 1인칭 시점으로 얘기하는 내용입니다. 시골마을의 액센트를 연기하다보니 성우의 액센트를 알아듣기가 조금 어려웠어요. 적응하는데 시간이 좀 걸렸지만 중반 부터는 너무너무 재밌게 들었어요. 마약, 고아, 청소년 노동착취 등 매우 어두운 이슈들을 다루는 소설입니다. 어두운 상황에서도 빛나는 데몬의 생명력과 상상력, 유머, 로맨스를 작가가 1인칭으로 매우 풍부하고 현실적으로 그려낸 것 같습니다. 아동~청소년이 처한 여러 현대 사회문제들을 데몬을 통해 간접 체험하게 하고 어떻게 해결해야할지를 고민하게 만드는 책이기도 합니다.
