Rocker-turned-writer Aaron Paul Schaut presents his debut novel- a restless and compelling road trip through certain restless and compelling American hearts. Generation X is not OK, despite the many convenient trappings of middle class modern life. How much coffee, how many cigarettes, how many shots of Jameson would it take to save Lily and Gus from themselves? Though hastily written, there is a tenderness at the heart of this novel that is not nostalgia, but Growing Pain. We long for a guide on this sick and kitschy ride, and it may as well be fucking Morgan Freeman.
