We Agreed to Meet Just Here (Awp Award for the Novel)

About this book

Fiction. Winner of the 2007 AWP Award for the Novel. Robert Eversz Judge. "WE AGREED TO MEET JUST HERE is a lyrical mystery about disappearance told in precise and luminous prose. A young lifeguard in an Austin suburb vanishes one night while returning from a screening of The Third Man. A doctor ill with cancer goes missing from his home and is later seen bearded and ragged wandering the aisles of a grocery store. A car is stolen the unseen consequences tragic. One child is given up to adoption another is lost up a tree. The absences are so keenly felt in the drifting lucidity of the authors sentences that every reappearance reads like a small miracle"--Robert Eversz.
