Description: When young Russell Pinske feels life is passing him by, he hits the road to shake things up. He catches a ride as far as his hometown in Indiana to visit friends and find a way to the West Coast. While there he stumbles through the summer on his wayward journey of self-discovery, bouncing from one impetuous impulse to another, becoming involved in the misbegotten capers of a gang of petty crooks and falling into a romance with an older woman. His motivation for his trip begins to wane as he gets mired in small-town life and wrapped up in the problems and preoccupations of the people around him. So when an old friend cruises into town under mysterious circumstances and offers a ride to California, Russell sees a chance to get back on the road and back on track, if he can extricate himself from his entanglements. Endorsements: ""Turner's precise yet graceful prose flashes at the crossroad of young adulthood that is unique to his lusting-for-life protagonist but familiar to every American. Reminiscent of Jack Kerouac and Stewart O'Nan, The Grand March makes a grand debut novel, capturing a slice of one man's life that defines contemporary culture."" --Carol Cassella national bestselling author of Oxygen and Healer About the Contributor(s): Robert Turner spent many years wandering through America with notebook in hand. The Grand March is his first novel, and the first in a projected series of four books chronicling a group of errant souls over several years as they struggle to play the confusing hands they've been dealt.
