Описание книги

To escape an addiction, a young blind man in California steps into a station wagon with his friends and their foster kids to deliver a handmade casket to a dying grandfather in Florida. As they battle their way across the southern half of the nation, this rag-tag American family falls prey to love and lies, greed and violence, crime and Katrina.With a voice reminiscent of John Irving, Nodine produces a classic “road-picture” novel that is part Travels with Charley, part As I Lay Dying, and part On The Road.Touch and Go is a rich and rangy story about the careful and careless ways we treat each other—and ourselves—in a fast-paced, changing world. Kevin, the novel’s blind narrator, is one of the most perceptive figures in recent fiction. And his desire to do no harm is contagious. Through Kevin’s rich senses and boundless compassion, Nodine gives us a multicultural portrait of a true America. And he does so with deep affection for everyone along the way.

TOUCH AND GO

Summer’s liberties had helped the kids loosen up with us, the way a common change of routines draws people closer, but by August the heat of Burbank didn’t feel much like freedom. In a couple of weeks, Isa, Patrick, and the boys were driving cross-country on a family vacation of sorts, to visit Isa’s dying father in Florida. I wasn’t planning to join them. At the time, I didn’t think of us as family so much as people who needed each other. I can admit this now: I was still in love with Isa.

.....

I met Isa almost two years ago, when I came to Channel House, and I got to know Patrick about a month later, when he was admitted. I had just turned twenty-six, was about ten years younger than they were, and was the youngest person there. I first heard the lilt of Isa’s voice in group counseling, but I first spoke with her in a hallway, where she stopped me with a soft hand on my arm. I knew who it was before she spoke; back then she wore a cheap fragrance several traces too sweet.

I turned my face to hide my scar.
