Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A high-speed and darkly comic road trip through a near-future America features a big-hearted mercenary, Will Bear, who considers himself the Barely Blur. At fifty, he has lived off the grid for over half his life, never held a real job, paid taxes, or been in a committed relationship. A good-natured henchman with a complicated past and an LSD microdosing habit, he travels across state lines in his camper van, running shady and dangerous errands for a powerful operation he knows little about. While he has many connections, he lacks true ties, with his longest relationships being with an old rescue dog suffering from PTSD and a childhood friend deeply entrenched in the underworld, whose trustworthiness is increasingly in doubt. Suddenly, a call from a twenty-year-old woman claiming to be his biological daughter, Cammie, disrupts his life. She asserts she’s the result of one of his long-ago sperm donations, leaving him half-convinced she’s AI. Cammie needs his help, as she’s caught in a nefarious plot involving Will’s employers, blurring the line between those he works for and those he’s fleeing. With haunting emotional realism and fast-paced intrigue, the narrative explores a fractured America, examining the enduring curses and joys of being human, regardless of how far one travels to escape them or how cleverly one hides.
