A writer backpacking in Asia looks for a quiet place to write about a criminal on the run finds the ideal place--where fiction and life blur together. Can telling a story create another story?
Ed Teja has been a boat bum, magazine editor, freelance writer, poet, and musician. And always a traveler, traveling and writing, but seldom writing about travel. Instead he writes stories that reek of place and use the interesting people he meets in those margins.
I have submitted this review after listening to the audiobook of this title.
Yes, I dare say this story, in this type of small town, would ring true with a lot of blow ins. People may not be running from the law, but something in their past. Hiding out in plan sight, in a place so bland and boring, it seems illogical for anyone to be there, unless they had a very good reason. I have encountered this author's work previously, and find it different and refreshing.
