Albert French served four years in the Marines as an infantryman and was wounded in Vietnam. After the service, he taught himself photography and worked as a state medical photographer and photojournalist. He is based in Pittsburgh.
Written entirely in the present tense, this breathless road novel tells the story of Jeremiah and Willett, a young couple on the run from 1950s Pittsburgh after killing a pimp. Heading for New York City, Willett first has to make a trip to see the son she abandoned years ago. Dedicated to 'every hand that's ever reached', it's a sordid but strangely beautiful piece, written in the language of its protagonists and full of aching longing for a future that's always one step ahead.
