About the Book

Mark Hayes has come up hard. Poverty. Chaos. Hunger. His mother a junkie. His father serving a life sentence. But as his senior year looms, Mark finds a bit of peace with his mother and her girlfriend in a farmhouse outside town. Here, he hopes to escape the upheaval that has dogged him since the day he was born, but as hard as he tries, he can't outrun his shadows. He is lost, but no more so than many of his friends, no more so than the institutions he navigates or his country as it spirals toward another bloody war. Mark doesn't know God, but as he stumbles through his long, violent night, he is guided by glimmers of kindness, the good souls who reach out to this life's lost sheep. Delivered in prose both terse and lyrical, The Lost and the Blind presents a searing portrait of dopesick, small-town America and a young man desperate to rise above.

Review :
"A stunning and harrowing novel." --Pamela Painter, author of Fabrications: New and Selected Stories "The Lost and the Blind is the dark, hypnotic, and beautiful story of 17-year-old Mark Hayes, the son of a convict father and addict mother, who is trying to assemble a life for himself when all the options he's been offered are brutal and deadly. Against the backdrop of an unnamed war and domestic unrest, we follow and hope as Mark begins to understand the people and systems he's been born into and claim what belongs to him alone." --Pamela Erens, author of The Virgins and Matasha "In the poignant novel The Lost and the Blind, despondent people do their best to escape their burdens." --Foreword Reviews
