More about the book
Emerging from the eclipses of the American dream, Bongwater is the novel of the last lost generation. Its heroes, rebellious, vulnerable, and tenderly cynical, are proud and smiling representatives of a misunderstood youth still ignored by literature. Disoriented outcasts from a world abandoned by the gods, David, Courtney, Jennifer, and others drift through their lives under the leaden skies of Portland. Michael Hornburg delivers a debut novel that is both destructive and romantic, capturing the grunge culture of the 90s in a way that echoes Bret Easton Ellis's Less Than Zero in the 80s.
