Mr. Holmes

By: Mitch Cullin

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Estamos en 1947. Sherlock Holmes se retiró de su labor como investigador hace ya mucho tiempo y ahora es un anciano de noventa y tres años. Vive en una granja remota, en Sussex, con su ama de llaves y el joven hijo de esta. Cada día, Mr. Holmes atiende a sus abejas, escribe en su diario y se da cuenta de que va perdiendo facultades. Aunque siguen proponiéndole que investigue algunos extraños casos, él está tan alejado de esa vida que no quiere ni escucharlos. Se ha convertido en un hombre gruñón y encerrado en los recuerdos. A través de esos recuerdos llega a un momento de su vida en que tiene que plantearse preguntas que, tal vez, ni él mismo sabía que tenía que resolver, y reflexionará sobre la vida, el amor, los límites de las habilidades mentales y sobre la muerte: la suya propia y la de aquellos que le rodean. Mr. Holmes es una recreación excepcional de los últimos años del detective más conocido del mundo y una novela arrolladora sobre los misterios de las relaciones humanas. La crítica ha dicho... «Extraordinario... Nuestro héroe (nuestro eterno héroe) nunca ha sido más heroico, ni más humano.» The Village Voice «Desgarradora y genialmente escrita.» San Francisco Chronicle

Branches

A Novel

By: Mitch Cullin

From the author of A Slight Trick of the Mind: A “hybrid of Stephen King and Jim Thompson” that follows the thoughts of a troubled Texas lawman (Booklist). Branches is a novel at once cautionary and starkly provocative, set in the “gnarled hide of West Texas” near the end of the 20th century. Sheriff Branches finds himself returning to his childhood home, revisiting his bleak childhood while contemplating a series of mysterious dog poisonings in his small community. In discovering the painful truth behind the crimes, he must also delve into his own violent past. As both a boy and a man, Branches embodies the very arbitrary nature of Justice; he roams through a grim landscape where nothing is as it appears, taking the reader headlong toward an unsettling, horrific resolution.

The Post-War Dream

By: Mitch Cullin

Sixty-eight-year-old Hollis and his wife Debra have settled into their golden years in a gated community outside of Tucson, Arizona. Although they are devoted to each other, events that took place decades earlier, when Hollis fought in the Korean War, have left him with a deep-seated trauma — and with a secret he has never been able to share with his wife. As a reluctant Hollis revisits his past after his wife becomes dangerously ill, we see just how much the years of war changed his life forever. In rapturous prose, Cullin captures in The Post-War Dream the complexity of a marriage and the indelible force of the past on one man's life.

Whompyjawed

A Novel

By: Mitch Cullin

Whompyjawed: 1. Askew, out of place 2. Off-center or crooked 3. (informal) a person of eccentric or questionable character; odd. Football is Willy Keeler’s ticket out of West Texas, but only if he can keep the explosive combination of his intellect and hormones from destroying his high-school career. Not an easy task as he also contends with the endless demands of his girlfriend, mother, coach, and college recruiters. When a startling sexual encounter with a classmate and a consuming infatuation with one of his mother’s friends threaten to shatter his fragile balance, Willy discovers that simply figuring out who he is may be the greatest challenge of all. Reminiscent of The Catcher in the Rye and The Last Picture Show, Mitch Cullin’s Whompyjawed is an unforgettable coming-of-age story, told with unparalleled humor and compassion.

The Cosmology of Bing

A Novel

By: Mitch Cullin

At Eric’s Rotisserie, Bing sat outside by himself, nursing white zinfandel beneath the large sunshade that jutted from the center of his table, while blustery wind roamed across campus—swirling dead leaves and bits of trash around the chairs and tables, flapping the awnings on the massive umbrellas. The weather kept the patio abandoned, and Bing preferred it that way—no chatty couples nearby, no loudmouth students talking about sports, or, even worse, popular music. On this chilly afternoon, he didn’t care that he was alone. He didn’t care that he’d left his coat in his office. And, for a moment, he almost didn’t mind that his head wasn’t quite screwed on tightly today. In The Cosmology of Bing Mitch Cullin offers a tale of intersecting lives during one school year in Houston: the college student and his artist roommate, the reclusive poet, the astronomer studying a supernova at a remote West Texas observatory, the young Japanese woman hopelessly in love with her gay friend—and at the center of this group is Bing Owen, a college professor who drowns his heartbreak, paranoia, and secret desires with alcohol. It’s a darkly humorous novel about longing, buried feelings and muted relationships, forgotten poetry and thrown pies—in which the mysteries of love, the interconnectedness of individuals, and the inexplicable nature of attraction occupy the same microcosm as exploding stars, ghost lights, and specters from the past.

From the Place in the Valley Deep in the Forest

By: Mitch Cullin

The stories and characters in this diverse collection of stories from the acclaimed novelist Mitch Cullin provide a fascinating gloss on events that have taken place in the second half of the 20th century. They begin at a remote Japanese beach house and end on an unnamed Alaskan island. These are stories about isolation, remembrances of past experiences, and the sometimes inaccurate nature of memory. Cullin's stories examine individuals who have survived momentous, often horrific, social upheavals-where relationships and common day-to-day life are suddenly shaken by unforeseen circumstances. `From the Place in the Valley Deep in the Forest' is a collection that deftly suggests we are all emigrants from personal histories we recall only fleetingly-moments which draw us back, but, as we imagine them, seem increasingly difficult to grasp. These polished and graceful stories are further evidence of the kind of work that makes Cullin one of our best young writers. "If something of the experimentalist shows in Cullin's novels, his stories are old-fashioned in the best sense, reporting slices of life as the characters experience them in a language that is economical yet richly evocative because of its precision."-Booklist

A Slight Trick of the Mind

By: Mitch Cullin

The basis for the Major Motion Picture Mr. Holmes starring Ian McKellen and Laura Linney and directed by Bill Condon. It is 1947, and the long-retired Sherlock Holmes, now 93, lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse with his housekeeper and her young son. He tends to his bees, writes in his journal, and grapples with the diminishing powers of his mind. But in the twilight of his life, as people continue to look to him for answers, Holmes revisits a case that may provide him with answers of his own to questions he didn’t even know he was asking–about life, about love, and about the limits of the mind’s ability to know. A novel of exceptional grace and literary sensitivity, A Slight Trick of the Mind is a brilliant imagining of our greatest fictional detective and a stunning inquiry into the mysteries of human connection.
