I Dreamed Saw Augustine

Bol

Calvin Marks is out of fathers. Half-closeted and horny, the stories his dad tells about former girlfriends and the redeeming pulse of history (as a middle-aged high school teacher, his dad's spent enough time considering both) just won't cut it. Calvin tries to make sense out of summer hookups and a bristling community memory of 9/11, but words fail and what's familiar is becoming unrecognizable.Crashing in Williamsburg with his cousin Alexa, Calvin crosses paths with Gus. As Calvin becomes entangled in Gus's world of jaded cover-band musicians, he wonders if adulthood doesn't have to be synonymous with loss.Fifteen years later, Calvin returns from abroad to find the absences of his ex-partners still haunting him. Seeing his own journey in relief, he finds that coming of age, and into community, does not end - and the urge to isolate oneself in search of easier communion has to be fought at all costs.
