Description

A searing and evocative narrative unfolds as a man navigates the distance between present and past. Memory overtakes him, transporting him to his childhood America, where he recalls the farmland, feedlots, railyards, and diners of his youth. A personal tragedy from his past lingers, its impact still felt in his complex interiority. As he drives across the country, propelled by Benzedrine, rock and roll, and a restlessness born out of exile, the rhythms of theater and poetry filter through his thoughts. His narrative is marked by a flinty humor and a surreal quality, combining to create a meditation on the nature of experience that is both celebratory and poignant. This book is a stunning exploration of the human experience, one that blends the personal with the poetic and the surreal.
