The journey forces East to grapple with his place in the world and decide what kind of man he wants to become."A stellar, thought-provoking debut brimming with energy . . . Though punctuated with tragic acts of violence, the taut prose and lyrical descriptions of the American landscape perfectly balance the escalating tension in a haunting search for salvation and compassion. Will justly be compared with the work of Richard Price and George Pelecanos but is infused with the spirit of Mark Twain. Make no mistake, this is a great American novel for the 21st century." - Bill's Bookshelf Selector, Bill Kelly
