Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Hip deep in music, this narrative offers an inside view that captures the rhythms and sights of late-nineties Seattle. Pete Tyler, at a crossroads, left a seminal grunge band eight years ago for a more conventional path. Now thirty-six, he’s a deputy prosecutor still frequenting the same clubs and dating the same type of women, who now reminisce about his band. As he contemplates marriage, he’s torn between three women: Beth, his long-lost first love; Winter, his on-and-off girlfriend who embodies the grunge lifestyle; and Esme´, a Sub Pop A&R executive facing her own dilemmas. When a date-rape case involving a local rocker and an eighteen-year-old accuser lands on his desk, Pete confronts his past and present, forcing him to reckon with where he stands. A cooler version of Everyguy, Pete embodies the struggle between adolescence and adulthood. This story is a hilarious yet poignant exploration of a man caught between two worlds, enriched with references to classic rock and Seattle's legendary alternative scene, serving as a bittersweet reflection on a unique American zeitgeist.
