Instant Replays of the Exodus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218791667)

FOUR MISFITS. Red, a rebel and aspiring writer who's probably too smart for his own good. Bones, who is bipolar and trying to find a place for himself in the world. Jim, a charismatic, loveable dork. And Ox, a hardcore introvert who loves music more than anything. Back in the day, they were the best of friends. Now, a decade later, Ox has lost his battle with depression, Jim has disappeared, and Bones wants nothing to do with Red. Then there's Kev, a young gay man who happens to be a goth and a furry, and Rich, a slacker with autism. Will wrongs ever be righted? Can they?

Instant Replays of the Exodus is about the suburban diaspora, the desperate search for lost Edens, and the ways in which people grow apart. Experimental and postmodern, it explores how our hardwired desire for conflict is rendered meaningless in a contemporary, conformist world.
