Resumen del Editor

WINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

A New York Times "Ten Best Books of 2022" • An Oprah’s Book Club Selection • An Instant New York Times Bestseller • An Instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller • A #1 Washington Post Bestseller

"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 2022. . . . 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 listeners 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.

Would give more than five stars if I could

Barbara Kingsolver never disappoints. She is the master of fact-filled fiction. Memorable characters. Brisk pacing. Powerful story line. Addresses issues of child abuse and the opioid epidemic in an insightful compelling way. I’ll remember this exceptional novel for a long time. I highly recommend it. The narrator is exceptional—I confess to being disappointed when I realized Barbara Kingsolver was not narrating, but Charlie Thurston was perfect.

Mesmerizing

I was fascinated by the story from the very start. The narrator was the best I’ve ever heard. He was Demon Copperhead. Barbara Kingsolver spun a story of people we know but we don’t. Thank you. I could say more but I just finished the book, and I’m stunned.

So many truths

I haven’t researched where the author is from, but she definitely captured many nuances of life in small Southern towns and their inhabitants, including the challenges foisted upon them from outsiders as well as from each other.

Too many towns like this

This is such a great sad story of every town in America. The narration was spot on.
