Fiction
Sam:
They were with us before Romeo & Juliet. And long after
too. Because they’re forever around. Or so both claim,
carolling gleefully: We’re allways sixteen. Sam & Hailey, powered by an ever-rotating fleet of cars,
from Model T to Lincoln Continental, career from the Civil
War to the Cold War, barrelling down through the
Appalachians, up the Mississippi River, across the
Badlands, finally cutting a nation in half as they try to
outrace History itself. By turns beguiling and gripping, finally worldwrecking,
Only Revolutions is unlike anything ever published before,
a remarkable feat of heart and intellect, moving us with
the journey of two kids, perpetually of summer,
perpetually sixteen, who give up everything except each
other. Hailey:
They were with us before Tristan & Isolde. And long after
too. Because they’re forever around. Or so both claim,
gleefully carolling: We’re allways sixteen. Hailey & Sam, powered by an ever-rotating fleet of cars,
from Shelby Mustang to Sumover Linx, careen from the Civil
Rights Movement to the Iraq War, tearing down to New
Orleans, up the Mississippi River, across Montana, finally
cutting a nation in half as they try to outrace History
itself. By turns enticing and exhilarating, finally breathtaking,
Only Revolutions is unlike anything ever conceived before,
a remarkable feat of heart and intellect, moving us with
the journey of two kids, perpetually of summer,
perpetually sixteen, who give up everything except each
other.
