Pride Month readings begin in earnest with this book, about a broken woman searching for her missing wife on America's highways and their secret underground. I admit, I'm not sure if Joseph Fink himself is LGTBQIA+ (I'm aware he's married to a woman), but it's on my shelf and it fits the spirit of the month enough.
So far, the writing could be better. It just kinda spells everything out right now.

Joseph Fink's work is a bit iffy at times. His prose can be too "tell," and his random dropping of wise-sounding axioms is not exactly as effective as when Borges did it. The organization of chapters in the last half also leaves something to be desired. Some of this backstory could have been spread better.
That said, still pretty good. I teared up at the end. Great story for our time. It's all cyclical, isn't it?
