The Neighbor

Jessie Clemons is out of cash and on the run from his job his neighbors the cops and his life. The Neighbor is a Middle American odyssey in which truck stops and farmhouses stand in for the Aegean Islands and the neon signs of convenience stores are the sirens of dissipation. Told in a unique double-narrative form with sardonic humour and grim realism Caleb Caudells debut novel is an unflinching look at the desolations and consolations of the hidden people of the heartland.
