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 about the places he goes, mostly places that lie in the margins of the world. He loves writing about the odd people, the interesting people who inhabit 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.
