Bus

by Steve Abee

The Bus is a novel, an epic, a mad cataract of pure lyric prose, a river of city-sprung words, the story of one man's trip across Los Angeles by public transit to pick up his car, from the Mexican deep streets of Echo Park to rich Santa Monica and the sea, through the world, through the entire mind of the millennial time, a trip across city and self. No gimmicks, no tricks, just a straight soul book celebrating the regular madness that surrounds every breath we take and every transfer we make. It is a love blast, full of sorrow and exhilaration. Enjoy the ride.
