This is a sad story about love and longing in America. This is a funny story about stumbling across America. This is a falling down barn. This is what happens in between innings. This is a picture of America hanging crooked on the wall. Fernweh is the story of Jackson Hoffman, the phone call he answers, and the road trip he takes with Ana Riviera. A love story, an ode to baseball, a progressive defense of religion, and a journey through an America that doesn't quite work, Fernweh is filled with living, breathing characters and pitch-perfect dialogue. At once angry and confident, lost and bewildered, smitten and heartbroken, Jackson's heart beats through the pages as he fights to make sense of a life he worries is going down the drain.

Autorenporträt
Matt Lang was born in Olean, New York and lived there for one year before moving with his family up and over the hill, across the border, to Rixford, Pennsylvania, into the house in which his mother grew up. He went to college in Erie, Pennsylvania, and lived there for two years in an almost constant state of misery. Had he stayed, he would have written one indispensable piece of American fiction before freezing to death surrounded by empty bottles in the abandoned house in which he would have been squatting. But he left. He transferred to the College of Wooster and was happy there. He met the most important people in his life, including Emily Hendel, now his wife. Now he lives in a large house on the Southwest Side with his wife, daughter, and others, including some of those same important people from Wooster. He's written American fiction, including Fernweh, McKean County and Other Stories, and The Giraffe's Mustache: A Storybook You Can Color, the indispensability of which are debatable, but his house is well heated, if, at times, drafty.
