Description
'Strange, intense, brilliant' S. J. Watson
'A witty, zappy fable ... Powerful' Guardian
Depression can be hell.
Heartbroken and lonely, the narrator has made an attempt on his own life. Whether he meant to or not he can't say. But now he's stuck in his own head, and time is running out.
To save himself, he embarks on a journey across an imagined America, one haunted by his doomed relationship and the memory of a road trip that ended in tragedy.
Help arrives in the guise of Jon Bon Jovi, rock star and childhood hero. An unlikely spirit guide, perhaps, but he's going to give it a shot...
A cutting-edge novel about a man on a road trip through his own mind with Jon Bon Jovi
