Book Description
A single call from his Czech girlfriend catapults Trevor into a serious crisis. Desperate to get his mojo back, he blazes down Highway 99 in a rented Dodge Neon. But soon his journey to California is fraught with peril, and all he has for protection are a semi-automatic pistol, his trusty plastic visor and a flea-ridden cat. As the drugs and the heartbreak kick in, the question is no longer whether Trevor will get over his girlfriend’s infidelity, but whether he’ll get out alive.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Keevil is such an accomplished and confident stylist – inventive, engaging, casually hilarious – he never loses the reader for a second… [The Drive] is quite a trip.” –
New Welsh Review“Fresh, entertaining and deep all at the same time… everything works like clockwork under Keevil’s pen, and his attention to detail is unbelievable. In short, this book was phenomenal.” –
TripFiction“Follows in the dust trails of the great American road trip… the humour and vim with which each scene is set up helps illuminate this half-innocent, half-demented take on the world.” –
Litro“Equal parts Hunter S. Thompson and Homer… [Trevors’] journey into the American West is hilarious, his journey into himself revelatory, and you ll be glad to have gone along with him for the ride.” –
Waterstones“Perfectly paced and often hilarious… Keevil’s prose is blisteringly honest and, despite the novel’s length, spare… short chapters, snappy dialogue and pure and simple crazy situations keep you firmly gripped to the back seat.” –
We Love This Book“A road novel like no other I’ve read. Trevor’s journey into the American north-west and his own wounded ego is magical, hilarious, dark and crazy.” —
Matthew Francis
