Summary

Charles Frazier: Thirteen Months

Charles Frazier began work on his debut novel "Studengora" in 1997 at the age of forty-six. At the instigation of his wife Katherine, he quit his job at the university where he worked as a lecturer and devoted himself exclusively to writing.

He wrote slowly and painstakingly, hoping that his book would be bought by at least ten thousand readers - mostly American Southerners. But the novel about a wounded soldier-deserter of the Confederate Army who decides to return to his only true love became a modern classic and sold a dizzying circulation of four million copies, while the Oscar-winning screen version increased interest in the work many times over.

While working on "Studengora", the former professor came across a story from the end of the nineteenth century about a ninety-year-old white man who for days spoke exclusively in the language of the Cherokee Indians and was committed to a mental hospital in Raleigh. This interesting incident served as the basis of his new work, the novel "Thirteen Months".

The work is told in the voice of the ancient Will Cooper, who at the age of twelve was sold as an orphan to the Cherokee Indian tribe, where he found a father figure in the tribal elder Bear, and a home among the people of his tribe, developing bonds that would shape his character.

Will eventually buys hundreds of acres of land in his and Bear's name and, already as a state senator, he travels to Washington, where he tries to prevent the tribe from being evicted from legally purchased property.

In a voice full of both humor and longing, Will will tell the story of a lifelong search for home, a hunger for wealth and adventure, the revival of a destroyed culture, and above all, a tireless search for passion. Film rights have also been purchased for this novel, so a screen adaptation is expected soon.
