Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Going Nowhere Slow is a razor-sharp, darkly comic coming-of-age novel about dead-end ambition, failed relationships, and the long, strange road to figuring yourself out.Thurston Ford is a drifting college dropout with a penchant for doodling, shrugging, and disappointing everyone who's ever cared about him. When his gothic girlfriend Martha kicks him out, Thurston trades a life of ramen-fueled codependency for an ill-prepared cross-country trek into the American Nowhere. But Thurston is just one traveler. Hawkins creates a stunning cast: a tech CEO, a Midwestern ladies' fellowship group, and a state succession movement all converging on one unsuspecting tourist town. Thurston is forced to confront his mediocrity, privilege, and the question he's avoided his whole life: What if no one thinks about you?Both painfully funny and surprisingly tender, Going Nowhere Slow captures the awkward, aching stretch between adolescence and adulthood with biting wit and quirky honesty.
