À propos de cet audio

Like a cross between Denis Johnson's Already Dead and David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Reap draws us into the hot, still air of a summer backwoods at whose fringes lurk danger and epiphany.

Jessup Burke, a lonely, naïve 16-year-old, has grown up without a father in a jobless, indifferent logging town. Out of high school a year early, he now bikes through the woods with his fishing gear, daydreaming of his sweetheart and their secret "home" in an abandoned farmhouse. When Reg, an embittered, paranoid recluse fresh out of jail for growing marijuana, encounters Jessup hitchhiking, he is at first drawn to the boy's easily manipulated naïveté, but the two soon become irreversibly bound.

As Jessup unknowingly participates in Reg's perilous criminal behavior, he also endangers himself when his relationship with Marigold, Reg's married younger sister, goes beyond friendship. Jessup's rude awakening into adulthood is rendered in sure and supple prose in this dramatic, action-packed novel.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[P]eople and situations twist inexorably in unpredictable, dangerous directions." ( Publishers Weekly)

Les plus pertinents
The characters and their motives are believable and relatable, the story is well developed and creative, the writing is descriptive and clean. Both the inner monologues of each character and the dialogue between them gives them convincing and distinct personalities. If you're looking for an intelligently written and thought provoking glimpse at small town life on a darker side of the tracks give this one the time it deserves. I will look for more from this author.

Well crafted characters, unconventional story
