"Reading "Pacific" makes me once again fall in love with Drury's
words, and his perception of a world that is full of dangers and
passions and mysteries and graces."--Yiyun Li
In "Pacific," Tom Drury revisits the community of Grouse County,
the setting of his landmark debut, "The End of Vandalism." When
fourteen-year-old Micah Darling travels to Los Angeles to reunite
with the mother who abandoned him seven years ago, he finds himself
out of his league in a land of magical freedom. Back in the
Midwest, an ethereal young woman comes to Stone City on a mission
that will unsettle the lives of everyone she meets--including
Micah's half-sister, Lyris, and his father, Tiny, a petty thief. An
investigation into the stranger's identity uncovers a darkly
disturbed life, as parallel narratives of the comic and tragic, the
mysterious and quotidian, unfold in both the country and the
city.
