IT TOOK THREE CAR CRASHES TO KILL JAKE

The second crash. New York City. Jake and Theron have drifted apart, but when they are reunited in the midst of a hurricane, they are both forever changed.

The third crash. Texas. Driving on a lonely highway, Jake finds the oblivion he has always been chasing in one final collision, and Theron is left to grapple with the ghosts of their past.

'A beautiful exploration of the all-encompassing nature of friendship, specifically male friendship, and the devastating speed at which grief can derail your life' - Service95

'It should be placed alongside modern love stories such as Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'- Crack

'This book will make you cry' - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
Autorenporträt
August Thompson was born and raised in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire. He studied in New York and Berlin, wasted all of his good hearing at metal shows, taught English in Spain for two years, and spent another two on couches across three continents. He returned to New York as a Goldwater Fellow at NYU's Creative Writing Program. At the age of 26, he came out as bisexual. Anyone's Ghost is his first novel.
Rezensionen
Anyone's Ghost is about so very many things: the pains of growing up, friendship and pining, drugs, sex, the frustrations of masculinity and the thrill of testing death itself. But more than any of that, it is an overwhelmingly beautiful love story. This book will make you cry Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated
