| Summary: | Highway Blue tells the story of Anne-Marie and Cal, the story of their brief marriage and also of their long estrangement. And when a violent ambush hurls the two of them cross-country on the road, it becomes the story of their search for salvation. On their ill-at-ease odyssey along the darker seams of the country, from sweaty motel rooms and darkened parking lots, encountering other whisky-soaked souls along the way, Anne-Marie sifts through the consequences of their crime. But this is also the story of love, in all its broken forms, and how the pursuit of love is, in turn, a kind of redemption. Written in spare, blazing prose, this is a novel of tragedy and transcendence, of being lost and found across a shimmering, almost mythical American landscape. With all the power and grace of a latter-day Denis Johnson, it introduces an electrifyingly singular and brilliant new voice. |
