Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text

If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For Steve York, life was good. He had a 4.0 GPA, friends he could trust, and a girl he loved. Now he spends his days smoked out, not so much living as simply existing.

But his herbal endeavors — and personal demons — have lead to a severe lack of motivation. Steve's flunking out, but if he writes a one-hundred-page paper, he can graduate.

Steve realizes he must write what he knows. And through telling the story of how he got to where he is, he discovers exactly where he wants to be....

Review:

"Funny, smart, tough..."

-- Chris Crutcher

Review:

"Rob Thomas is like a house afire."

-- Paul Zindel

"rats saw god" can be read backward as dog was star. I really hated the part when Steve and Dub went naked on his bead and when they had sex together. But I don't get why Steve starts going out with Allison. She's a freak.
