As Far As The East From Evening
No Customer Reviews
Two weeks before graduation, James Holmann, a brilliant but troubled student at the University of Washington submits his undergraduate thesis, drops out of school, and ends all contact with the outside world. Possessed by a vision of civilization's collapse and the coming of a great blight, he sets out on a trek across the Cascades in search of his lover, Rachel. Meanwhile, terrified by her son's disappearance, James Holmann's mother launches her own determined quest to find and restore James to life she believes offers the only chance of securing his happiness and wellbeing. What ensues are two tangled journeys at once physical and psychological, journeys which delve back into the painful origins of the family's dissolution and the shaping of a wounded psyche. James's quest for Rachel and society's attempt to restore him to peace and order enter into a fateful counterpoint from the quiet of Waldron Island to violent waters of the Wenatchee River to a world-ending fire. A story about man confronting the reality of society, and society encountering the reality of man, the novel raises questions of the true meaning of love, sacrifice, freedom, responsibility, and madness.
