The action of Toby Olson's PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novel
"Seaview" sweeps eastward, following three men and two women across
a wasted American continent to an apocalyptic confrontation on Cape
Cod. Melinda hopes to reach the seaside where she was born before
she dies of cancer. Allen, her husband, earns their way back by
golf hustling, working the links en route. Outside of Tucson, the
two meet up with a Pima Indian also headed toward the Cape to help
a distant relative who has claims on a golf course there that is
laid out on tribal grounds. Throughout the journey, Allen knows he
is being stalked by a former friend, Richard, a drug-pusher whom he
has crossed and who is now determined to murder him. The tortured
lives of Richard and his wife Gerry stand as a dream of what might
have become of Allen and Melinda had things been otherwise. The
lines that draw these people together converge at Seaview Links,
and on the mad battlefield that this golf course becomes, the novel
reaches its complex ending. "Seaview's" vibrant language and
fateful plot make this study of an America on the edge an
unforgettable read.
