Meadowland - eBook
by Ty Spencer Vossler
Meadowland is a timely novel celebrating the dysfunctional complexity of commonplace lives in a small California town—a tour de force that delves deeply into the hubris of everyday life. Meadowland is populated with peculiar citizens, including the sociopathic, backsliding minister, an adulterous garbage collector who pairs with a wealthy physician’s wife, a baseball-obsessed father who forces his love of the game on his young son, and a schizophrenic English teacher fighting desperately against personal demons. You’ll meet brave children unearthing answers to life’s toughest questions, and discover the driftwood of your childhood along the way.
Meadowland is a passionate, humorous, heartbreaking, allegorical rollercoaster ride. Beautifully written, it is burgeoning with cool morning hopes that dehydrate in the blazing sun by midday—an unforgettable, artistic rendering of the everyday (fight or flight) to find meaning in a world that is becoming increasingly irrational.
