Distances Between

Set in the college town of Saxson, the birthplace and graveyard of American myths and dreams, the city harbors a group of people intertwined between the beauty and the filth of their own privilege and their own moral impoverishment. This novel is a chronicle of their voices, their choices. This is the book of the dead and the story of their living. Samuel Kennedy is a junior at Saxson college and has a special ability, he thinks, and a special relationship with a beautiful girl only she, Rosalind, doesn't know it. Neal Sinatrill is a man who is trapped in a criminal world selling to the good people of Saxson with the goal to eventually get out of the lifestyle and escape it with his son, Tron. August Bracked dropped out of Saxson where he thought he'd be a football star and is now 30 and still living and leeching off the campus with a taste for violence that may become his undoing.
