Train Wrecker - 9749

$14.13

In this debut Canadian novel Andrew Livingston unveils a portrait of coming of age in Vancouver, British Columbia, during the top-down, unseatbelted, joy-ride of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. The novel’s protagonist, ‘Handy Andy’ journeys from boy to young man, experiencing both the frustration of being an individual against the system and liberation as he discovers the transformative power of literature. Funny, honest, and smart, Train Wrecker also investigates life under the tyranny and ultimately, the tragedy of his father’s alcoholism. “Before I called it a night, I heard the Old Man’s big brogues stomping on the floor upstairs and the door to his bedroom slam shut with a heavy thud. The dogs closed their eyes. The kettle on the stove; the stools in the kitchen; the mattresses on the beds; the chair in the study; even the glasses in the cupboard; everything in the house let out a collective sigh of relief. “ Train Wrecker is a phantasmagorical, no-holds barred, front-row seat to the contest in which we all participate, growing up.
