Hop on over to this post on Lit Drift and leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Erased (Tin House Books) by Jim Krusoe. One random winner will be chosen and notified tomorrow (1/29) at 12:00pm. Here is the publishers description of Erased:
Abandonment, life, death, and, oddly, Cleveland are explored in the hilarious second installment of Jim Krusoe’s trilogy about resurrection.
In Erased, Krusoe takes on a dead mother who mysteriously sends notes from the beyond to her grown son, Theodore, the owner of a mail-order gardening-implement business. “I need to see you,” the first card reads. Theodore does what any sensible person would: he ignores it. But when he gets a second card that’s even more urgent, Theodore leaves his quiet home in St. Nils for a radiantly imagined Cleveland, Ohio, to track down his mother. There, aided by Uleene, the last remaining member of Satan’s Samaritans, an all-girl biker club, he searches through the realms of women’s clubs, art, rodent extermination, and sport fishing until he finds the answers he seeks.
As a side note, if you are at all interested in the “evolution of storytelling” you should really add Lit Drift to the list of blogs you check regularly. The site is fun and engaging, and has fostered a wonderful community that supplements the content found in each post. They also accept reader submissions of everything from fiction to “bar napkin doodles.” If nothing else, check out their “Daily Prompts” and the aforementioned “Free Book Fridays.”
