Darkly humorous and tinged with sadness, this debut novella from American musician Micah Hinson exhibits all of the same charming and melancholic lyricism that define the singer-songwriter s music. With a restless exactitude, Hinson captures a series of snapshots of the lives of a young couple, alone, sick, accursed, and very much in love. He follows them on a sentimental and suicidal journey filled with questions, to which the only answer they can find is their own love an answer they recognize as a futile attempt at survival. As he narrates the story of a boy and girl adrift, shouldering a typewriter, and with many miles ahead of them, Hinson offers readers an affecting novel to be savored."
