<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this powerful debut novel, brothers Frank and Jerry Lee are on the run after a hit-and-run accident. Interweaving past and present, Vlautin unfolds the story of their unhappy lives--lives afflicted by drink, bleak economic circumstances, and family misfortune.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>With echoes of <em>Of Mice and Men</em>(<em>The Bookseller</em>, UK), <em>The Motel Life</em> explores the frustrations and failed dreams of two Nevada brothers--on the run after a hit-and-run accident--who, forgotten by society, and short on luck and hope, desperately cling to the edge of modern life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If there's any justice, anywhere, The Motel Life will be widely read and widely admired."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Vlautin's coiled, poetically matter-of-fact prose calls to mind S.E.Hinton."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"A natural for the bigscreen and in fact Babel and 21 Grams writer Guillermo Arriaga has bought the film rights..."--Salt Lake City Tribune<br><br>"Both heartbreaking and inspirational...written...with a simple hypnotic tone that seems as if it was grown in the Reno heat."--Associated Press ASAP<br><br>"I'm floored...This book feel so damn real, so powerful, so much like life, even if it's not yours."--Jonathan Zwickel, The Stranger<br><br>"Slighter than Carver, less puerile than Bukowski, Vlautin...manages to lay claim to the same blearyeyed territory, and...to make it new."--New York Times Book Review, EDITOR'S CHOICE<br><br>"The furthest Vlautin's men can move is in circles, shackled to their dysfunctions and their meager paychecks..."--San Francisco Weekly<br>
