Product Information
It is 2027. August Helm is thirty years old. A biochemist working in a lab at the University of Chicago, he is swept off his feet by the beautiful and entirely self-assured Amanda Clark. Animated by August's consuming desire, their relationship quickly becomes intimate. But when he stumbles across a liaison between the director of his lab and a much younger student, his position is eliminated and his world upended. August sets out to visit his parents in Words, an unincorporated village in the heart of Wisconsin's Driftless Area. Here, he reconnects with several characters from his past: Ivan Bookchester, who now advocates for "new ways of living" in an age of decline; Hanh, formerly known as Jewelweed, who tends her orchard and wild ginseng, keenly attuned to new patterns of migration resulting from climate change and habitat destruction; and Lester Mortal, the aging veteran and fierce pacifist who long ago rescued her from Vietnam. Together, the old friends fall back into a familiar closeness. But much as things initially seem unchanged in the Driftless, when August is hired to look after Tom and April Lux's home in Forest Gate, he finds himself in the midst of an entirely different social set, made up of wealthy homeowners who are mostly resented by the poorer surrounding communities, and distanced in turn by their fear of the locals. August soon falls head over heels for April, and different versions of his self collide: one in which the past is still present in tensions and dreams, another in which he understands his desire as genetically determined and chemically induced, and then a vaguely hoped-for future with April. When Lester is diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, Ivan comes clean on a ghastly past episode, and April makes a shocking revelation, a series of events ensues that will change all involved forever. As approachable as it is profound in exploring the human condition and our shared need for community, this is a story for our times.

Reviews
Praise for David Rhodes "''A new, hitherto unknown novelist swam into my ken,'' Floyd Dell wrote in his autobiography more than forty years ago, about a time back further still when Sherwood Anderson pressed a manuscript into his hands. American readers can now enjoy a similar shock of recognition by picking up David Rhodes."-- New York Times Book Review "One of the best eyes in recent fiction belongs to the novelist David Rhodes. Rhodes'' eye, like any fine novelist''s, is accurate both about literal detail and about metaphorical equivalencies. The most important point, however, is that nothing in Rhodes'' vision is secondhand."--John Gardner, from On Becoming a Novelist "A brilliant writer."-- Cleveland Plain-Dealer "Wildly imaginative."-- Saturday Review " Rhodes writes with both symphonic grandeur and down-to-earth humility."-- Booklist Praise for Jewelweed "A generous ode to the spirit''s indefatigable longing for love."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A master of nuance, Rhodes picks up on those ''inaudible rhythms'' that drive human actions."-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Emits frequent solar flares of surprise and wonder."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer "An impressive and emotionally gratifying novel."-- Library Journal "A rhapsodic, many-faceted novel of profound dilemmas, survival, and gratitude."-- Booklist Praise for Driftless "The best work of fiction to come out of the Midwest in many years."-- Chicago Tribune "A profound and enduring paean to rural America. Radiant in its prose and deep in its quiet understanding of human needs."-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Each of these stories glimmers."-- New Yorker "Moves at a stately pace as it offers deep philosophy and meditative asides about life in Words, Wisconsin, in the Driftless zone -- which is to say, about life on earth."--NPR, "All Things Considered" "A symphonic paean to the stillness that can be found in certain areas of the Midwest. The writing in Driftless is beautiful and surprising throughout, and it''s this poetic pointillism that originally made Rhodes famous."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Few books have the power to transport the way Driftless does, and it''s Rhodes''s eye for detail that we have to thank for it."-- Time Out Chicago "A fast-moving story about small town life with characters that seem to have walked off the pages of Edgar Lee Masters''s Spoon River Anthology ."-- Wall Street Journal "Encompassing and incisive, comedic and profound, Driftless is a radiant novel of community and courage."-- Booklist , 2008 Editor''s Choice (starred) "A wry and generous book. Driftless shares a rhythm with the farming community it documents, and its reflective pace is well-suited to characters who are far more comfortable with hard work than words."-- Christian Science Monitor , Best Novels of 2008 "Rhodes'' first novel in over 30 years is set in a rural area of Wisconsin so remote and forgotten that it''s left off the map. Most of the residents have chosen to be isolated from the world around them and one another. Nevertheless, their concerns--the meaning of spirituality, family, love, and desire--are global and universal. The characters and their struggles come vibrantly alive."-- Library Journal (starred)
