"I want to see everything."
Explored through both real-world encounters and bold works of fiction, Stephen Makin's extraordinary debut collection for Vignette Editions combines memoir and short stories, seamlessly interwoven to present a unique, poignant vision of the United States as he recalls and observes it.
Seen through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy on a train journey across the country with his father, and of a young man at college looking back on it all through wistful, more knowing eyes, this powerful, punchy, evocative and timely collection of characters, moments and tales are reminiscent of the very best of the daring, young American writers known and loved around the world - and marks the literary debut of what looks set to be one of the greats of the next generation.
