Summary:

In Island City, a wry and wistful woman, estranged from her family, sells her belongings and moves back to her hometown in the Midwest. To her, its the perfect place to give up. She wants to get rid of everything?her stuff, her ambitions. Before making a messy exit, she holes up in a dark bar and tells her stories to an audience of indifferent strangers. Theres the time the river dried up and you could walk across its bed, the day her sister got clobbered at the nursing home, the time her dad got cancer, then Alzheimers, then cancer again. Now shes forgetting things the way he did, words slipping away, and that third drink isnt helping. Laura Adamczyk, whose writing is super weird and super unsettling (Eugenia Williamson, The Boston Globe), creates a full portrait of a person, even as the image blurs and fades. Delivered as a booze-soaked monologue, Island City is a funny, devastating first novel, one that bristles and burns with true feeling.
