Il diner nel deserto

Awesome story

I really enjoyed this. He did a great job painting with words what it's like to live in the sparsely populated desert. It's a wonderful story and I would be interested to read what the author writes next.

Ben Jones delivers packages in a remote region of Utah. His clients are odd, unsociable people. He owes money to many, and very little is coming in. And then he meets Claire, a beautiful mysterious cello player, and suddenly he is lost, much more lost than he has ever been.

The characters in this story feel as deeply real as they do desperately strange, and they seem perfectly suited for this desert region. I liked Ben Jones. I liked all the characters, in fact, and it was these peculiar characters that are the charm of the book.
