Nothing but Waves and Wind, Paperback / softback Book

Nothing but Waves and Wind Paperback / softback

Part of the FRE French Literature Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

A musty bar in off-season Cannon Beach, Oregon, provides the setting for an unsuspecting Frenchman’s introduction to the many ways life can go wrong for the unlucky in America.

He listens as the barflies nightly recount their tales of woe—betrayal, broken families, financial ruin.

Though they seem at first to tolerate the newcomer’s presence and sympathy, a tide of violence is rising, one he perceives only dimly until it is too late to escape.

Made doubly powerful by her poetic fascination with the violence and volatility of the American landscape itself, Montalbetti’s novel is a thrilling study of the senseless cruelty disappointed men are capable of.
