Beginning as a road novel reuniting Donovan and Tom Lee, old friends from their college days, Christine Montalbetti’s novel quickly becomes a playfully unpredictable exploration of American culture. Re ecting on college football, small-town gossip, and the automobile, among other American institutions, the dreamlike quality of Montalbetti’s narration creates fresh, often very funny new vantages on aspects of American life usually too familiar to be noticed.
Christine Montalbetti is an award-winning French novelist, essayist, critic, and professor of literature at the University of Paris VIII.
