Ethan Hawke

The first novel in nearly twenty years from the acclaimed actor/writer/director is a book about art and love, fame and heartbreak. Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex.
