Ash Wednesday by Ethan Hawke
Two people, three lives, one love. Is there anything more terrifying than being in love? Following Jimmy Heartsock and his love Christy as they drive across America, confronting family history, personal hang-ups and questions they've never even asked each other before, about faith, death and life.
He's an actor, a director, he's young, good looking and he also writes booksDon't you just hate that? So Ethan Hawke's second novel, Ash Wednesday, is the kind of thing you approach hoping that it's going to be vapid, that he may have put a foot wrong. Fact is, he hasn't. This is the story of love on the edge, of volatile relationships and near terminal vanity, of recreational drugs, angst and a 69 Chevy Nova 370 four-barrel with mag wheels and a dual exhaust. Introspective, episodic and at times rambling, this is very definitely a book with a point of view, not a script-in-waiting - and a good one, too - and is being backed with all manner of promotional material, from national press to e-mail and Internet campaigns.
Actor/writer Ethan Hawke follows up his acclaimed debut, The Hottest State, with a second novel which confirms him as a star, not just of the screen, but also of the contemporary literary firmament.
