A noir novel rooted in a world of profound violence and regret, Caribou Island is an exploration of marriage and exile set against the interminable restlessness of Alaska's primal landscape.
On a small island in a glacier-fed lake on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Gary and Irene's marriage is unraveling. Alone now that the children are grown, Gary, driven by thirty years of diverted plans, is determined to build from scratch the cabin he has always wanted, believing it will recapture what once drew him to Alaska. Irene knows better. She suspects that the cabin is Gary's first step to leaving her.
Soon they are hauling logs out to Caribou Island in good weather and in terrible storms, in sickness and in health. But setbacks begin to create chinks in Gary's half-baked design, while Irene is stricken with mysterious headaches and troubling flashes of her tragic past. With each trip to the island their desperation escalates, and when winter comes early, the punishing desolation of the prehistoric wilderness will threaten to push Irene and Gary to the edge and end a marriage sustained by pain and rage that has been simmering for years.

Vann的首部长篇展现了他卓越的叙事功力，故事节奏控制得炉火纯青。这是一个关于marriage&relationship的故事，三对不同年龄层的男女。Vann说, my family is so broken that we cannot pretend everything is okay. 或许因为如此，他笔下的家庭悲剧几近残酷，伦敦泰晤士报在去年的书评里做了这么一个惊人的对比，“相比Caribou Island，饱受赞誉的Jonathan Franzen的Freedom就像一出肥皂剧”，这两本小说风格截然不同，将其相提并论也许并不恰当，但Caribou Island的确经得起任何美誉。
