Beschreibung
"e;An unsettling, funny, freaky reimagining of America, impeccably written, by one of our most . . . interesting transgressors of literary boundaries."e; -Michael Chabon, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and ClayWritten in a voice that is warmhearted and hauntingly original, Any Day Now is the story of Clay, a small-town boy searching for his place in the new America-and hoping desperately to forget what happened back East with the girl he loved.This poignant excursion into the last days of the Beats and the emerging radicalized culture of the sixties from Kentucky to New York City is a road movie of a novel. Beginning as a fifties coming-of-age story and ending in an isolated hippy commune under threat of revolution, Any Day Now provides a transcendent commentary on America, and the perils of growing up, then and now."e;He writes like a man who invented language . . . Treat yourself to this book."e; -Peter Coyote, author of Sleeping Where I Fall"e;Bisson just wrote his personal masterpiece, a book which will drop you through the floor of your assumptions about coming of age inside the politics and counterculture of the Vietnam era and into a fresh new-old world."e; -Jonathan Lethem, National Book Award winning and New York Times-bestselling author of Fortress of Solitude"e;Highly recommended for its literary quality and creativity of vision."e; -Library Journal"e;[An] unsettling but always interesting alternate-history novel, which offers much subversive commentary on contemporary society [with] jazz-like prose."e; -Booklist"e;The story has a thrumming momentum, a sense of slangy sass and jive, light-hearted yet soulful."e; -The Washington Post"e;Thoroughly enthralling . . . a truly unique reading experience."e; -San Francisco Book Review
