«The Harder They Come» is the novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle, published by Bloomsbury in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Set in contemporary Northern California, it interweaves the lives of an ageing Vietnam veteran, his erratically behaved son, and the son's lover, an older, paranoid woman. Tension builds to a violent confrontation, exploring the line between heroism and savagery and a father's responsibility for his son's actions.
The Bloomsbury Paperbacks edition is from 2016; the work was originally published in 2015 and won the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award in 2017.
May appeal to readers of contemporary literary fiction and to book clubs seeking a novel with psychological tension and family conflict.
