Called back to the house by their son's cries, Astrid goes inside, expecting her husband to join her in a bit. But Thomas gets up and, after a brief moment of hesitation, opens the gate and walks out. No longer bound by the ties of his everyday life--family, friends, work--Thomas begins a winding trek across the countryside, exposed as never before to the Alpine winter. At home, Astrid wonders where he's gone, when he'll come back, whether he's still alive. Following Thomas and Astrid on their separate paths, To the Back of Beyond becomes ultimately a meditation on the limits of freedom and on the craving to be wanted. 650 0 $a Runaway husbands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abandoned wives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Hofmann, Michael, $d 1957 August 25- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stamm, Peter, 1963- $t To the back of beyond. $d New York : Other Press, [2017] $z 9781590518298 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020156.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116030513.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2E5787CF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
