POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE
Featured this week in the Poets of the Week Books section of the PSH
Bookstore:
A POET'S GUIDE TO DIVORCE by DAVID BREEDEN
Dad, JJ Wade, is a used bookshop owner. Son Buck is a screenwriter
trying to make it on the west coast. Between them is the long shadow
of a divorce. When Hollie Ivie, a Goth grrrl, becomes the obsession
of JJ's life, Buck steps in with shock therapy-he steals Hollie.
Mixing journals, email, and third-person narration, this novel tells
the story of a wasted, bitter artist who still might pull it out, his
son headed in the same direction, and a woman who doesn't intend to
be owned by anyone. Where does Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman
emperor and Stoic philosopher fit in? A frumpy professor and email,
of course.
"If Jack Kerouac were from Texas, his name would be David Breeden."
-Kinky Friedman
"A joyous and thought-provoking journey that probes matters of the
heart in the midst of various collisions we call
�relationships.�"
-JJ Sargent
Paperback, 288 pages, published by Fine Tooth Press, (April, 2005)
