The Whistling Song by Stephen Beachy
In this electric on-the-road novel, orphan-hero Matt hitchhikes across the surreal landscape of America in the '80s. Searching for the lost bliss of childhood he falls in with--and longs for--the dangerously beautiful but amoral Jimmy, a fellow orphan. As they crisscross the country, encountering homeless rock stars, suicidal teenagers, Jesus freaks, and other souls on the edge, Matt moves toward adulthood and his own sexual identity. Stephen Beachy, awarded a James Michener Grant from the Iowa Writers Workshop, now lives in San Francisco and is at work on another novel.
Stephen Beachy is the author of the novels boneyard, Distortion, and The Whistling Song and the twin novellas Some Phantom/No Time Flat. He is also the author of Zeke Yoder vs. the Singularity, the first in a series of Amish sci-fi novels. He is the prose editor of the journal Your Impossible Voice, teaches in the MFA Program at the University of San Francisco, and lives in San Diego.
