Overview
For fans of Jack Kerouac and Nomadland, from the author of The Man Who Quit Money, this road-trip novel puts the auto in autofiction as it crisscrosses the late-nineties Southwest in search of authenticity and adventure.
At the end of the twentieth century, a young house painter in Southern California abandons his rollers to take a stab at living in the Right Now. (Mis)adventures ensue as his belated coming-of-age unfolds in fits and starts across thousands of miles of dirt road and desert highway, helped or hindered by a parade of strangers, hitchhikers, swingers, dealers, campers, loners, losers, and would-be lovers.
