"Wade Salem is a charismatic aesthete, drug dealer, and journeyman country musician. He's also a complicated father figure to this novel's narrator, whose cloudy childhood becomes both clearer and more confusing through Wade's stories, jokes, and lectures. Through the eyes of a keenly observant, underemployed record collector, Wade emerges as a sly, disruptive force, at once seductive and maddening. [] Shifting between flashbacks from the seventies and nineties, BOARDED WINDOWS is a postmodern orphan story that explores the fallibility of memory and the weight of our social and cultural inheritance. Stylistically layered and searchingly lonesome, Dylan Hicks's debut novel captures the music and mood of the fading embers of America's boomer counterculture." [publisher copy] "As a novel, Dylan Hicks's BOARDED WINDOWS takes a sly, questioning, sidelong glance that keeps both the narrator and his listeners--because this novel is whispered, confided, mused, as much as it is written--continually off balance. As a work of American iconography, it's a continually hilarious, hopes-dashed account of an indelible American character: the con man."--Greil Marcus. "BOARDED WINDOWS is a shrewd and soulful novel. References (high and low, familiar and obscure) abound in this eloquent and unusual story of not-quite innocence lost. Hicks uses his intimate knowledge of American music to give us a precise portrait of Wade Salem, a self-taught, fast-talking half-genius."--Dana Spiotta. "Do yourself a favor and read this smart, tender book. The characters will haunt you with their longing, and inspire you with their sweet, caustic wit. Dylan Hicks knows his music and his prose is a song in itself. He's given light to the shuttered and boarded parts of life."--Sam Lipsyte. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
