Product Description
National Book Critics Circle Award Winner. Acclaimed novelist Darin Strauss examines the fart-reaching consequences of the tragic moment that has shadowed his whole life. In his last month of high school, he was behind the wheel of his dad’s Oldsmobile, driving with friends, heading off to play miniature golf. Then: a classmate swerved in front of his car. The collision resulted in her death. With piercing insight and stark prose, Strauss leads readers on a deeply personal, immediate, and emotional journey – graduating high school, going away to college, starting his writing career, falling in love with his future wife, becoming a father. Along the way he gives loss an indelibly hard look, not to mention guilt, maturity and accountability. 207p.
