Willy Vlautin's Northline
See, this is why I love advance copies at library conferences--this is a book I'd never have picked up on my own. Written by some dude from an alt-country band, about a girl fleeing her abusive boyfriend, and she has imaginary conversations with Paul Newman--it just wouldn't have occurred to me to read it. And yet, it was really good, kind of tender and moving; you can't help but feel for this poor girl beaten down by life and all the people she meets on the way. A.
Thank you for writing about NORTHLINE and for reading Willy's novel, our team in academic marketing is fabulous, and I am glad they found you with NORTHLINE.
