This is like a contemporary Hemingway book. Alcoholism, infidelity, sex, mental health, love, deception and truth. All under the sun of Mexico. Serious page turner.
I drink, I hurt myself and the people around me, and then I write.” Brett is in Central America, away from her husband, when she begins a love affair with his friend, Eduard. Tragedy and comedy are properly joined at the hip in this loosely autobiographical book about infidelity, drinking, and the postponing of repercussions under the sun. Though coming undone is something we all try to avoid, Martin reminds us that going off the rails is sometimes a part of the ride.
This is the second novel from Clancy Martin. FSG's "How to Sell" was the first.
