She spends her aimless days working in a New York bookstore, trying to remain true to a punk ethos while drinking herself into a stupor and having a variety of listless and confusing sexual encounters.  After her girlfriend cheats on her, Maria steals her car and heads for the Pacific, embarking on her version of the Great American Road Trip.  Along the way she stops in Reno, Nevada, and meets James, a young man who works in the local Wal-Mart. Maria recognizes elements of her younger self in James and the pair quickly form an unlikely but powerful connection, one that will have big implications for them both.  Nevada is a hilarious, groundbreaking cult classic from Imogen Binnie that inspired a whole literary movement, and is now published in the UK for the very first time.  Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49538689270033,"sku":"GOR012390220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49666468643089,"sku":"GOR012344470","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740461441297,"sku":"NGR9781529092066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50260082262289,"sku":"GOR012397719","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438500446481,"sku":"GOR013139814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126512709905,"sku":"NLS9781529092066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/152909206X.jpg?v=1751117811"},{"product_id":"nevada-book-imogen-binnie-9780374606619","title":"Nevada","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e's Great American Novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"[\u003ci\u003eNevada\u003c\/i\u003e] is defiant, terse, not quite cynical, sometimes flip, addressed to people who think they know.

Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self.
