Dud: A Tragic Comedy
Judd Deffries is an up-and-coming young science-fiction author of the late 1960s whose life has always been an enigma. A series of fateful events turns his tentative hold on the world into chaos. His story, as he describes “I lost myself and then I found myself. I’m happy with who I am. I ask that you share in that happiness.”
His journey leads him into a collaboration with a controversial colleague who helps him regain his sense of self—as he is pursued up the Atlantic coast by Highway Patrol washup Dan Mathews, who suspects the unassuming lad of murder and bank robbery. DUD is the story of this autistic young man’s journey (emotional and physical) and is laced with humor and tragedy by the author of nine novels that remain one of the best-kept secrets of modern American fiction.
