Description
This is a novel of wanderlust, the simplest joys, youth and disillusionment, a raw portrayal of traveling and being misplaced in the 21st century. At twenty-two, Sonny travels alone for the first time in Vietnam where he socializes and has relationships he's only fantasized and read about. He returns home to Canada and becomes obsessed with traveling, wanting to abandon his prior life and future to travel indefinitely. He boards a bus to Montreal, Quebec. Yet the memory of his first trip reels through the streets of Montreal. He meets Alex, a French woman who tempts him with the hidden knowledge of his obsessions. Soon he leaves to continue his journey through Ontario where he befriends Melody, an exotic dancer, reunites with Tracy, an international student from Vietnam, and then to British Columbia where he finds nothing but an origin, a start to further departures. Sonny, lost in his brutal observations, is trying to rationalize a world that is constantly beating him with experience. Autobiographical fiction. Told in a minimalist, punctuation-sparse, descriptive prose.
