2013-03-15 02:35:54| Powells Books Events Calendar
Daniel Kine's Up Nights (Ooligan) is a classic road novel for a new generation. With direct, unrelenting prose, Kine tells the story of Arthur, a college-aged American man making a living by taking advantage of happenstance. Arthur struggles to navigate his life alongside a childhood friend, Francis; their one-time mentor, Bill; and Bill's on-again-off-again girlfriend, Vita. The four of them seek experiences that make them feel alive, looking for something to counter their ever-growing sense of futility and desperation. Francis searches for truth about his childhood, Bill and Vita briefly recover their lost love, and Arthur forms a fleeting connection with Rosalie, a stranger he meets in New Orleans. Through empty relationships, addictions, and brushes with the law, these individuals reach out to each other and to the lost and damaged people they encounter along the way. Lidia Yuknavitch, author of Dora: A Headcase and The Chronology of Water: A Memoir, joins Kine for a conversation about his book.
