Publisher's Summary:
Scott Blackwood won the AWP Award for We Agreed to Meet Just Here, his lyrical debut novel about the dark silence left behind in the wake of loss.
A young lifeguard, a doctor sick with cancer, and two children have disappeared, leaving no trace. Its only when they start to resurface, in small moments and sudden flashes of consciousness, that the true gravity of their existence comes to light.
Critic Reviews:
Blackwood penetrates lifes shadows with disarming candor (Booklist)
Members Reviews:
An exquisite book
This book--small press, too original for a lot of readers and editors, I guess--nonetheless won a Whiting Award, and Entertainment Weekly called it "criminally underrated." I read it with a sense of awe that renewed on every page. It depicts our world but also tells parts of the story from the points of view of the dead and the unborn. It seemed real and sad and yet made me believe in another layer of reality--a collective consciousness which is greater and wiser than any individual consciousness. And the prose is beautifully hypnotic. Really, it made me want to believe in the human race--in its essential goodness, despite petty and personal distractions and foibles.
It took me on a journey
Not often these days do I have the opportunity to read a book with such luscious prose! An amazing feat of story telling and writing that rings true. I felt like I knew the characters from my own life.
