Description
Struggling to find some meaning in his life, Duncan Beldon’s world gets turned upside down when he’s forced to confront — in his relationships and at work — the inexhaustible hunger of a real life mountain lion living inside of him.
If the part of you that caused self-doubt had a face, would you recognize it? If your tendency to self-destruct had a name, would you know it? Told with humor, empathy and a driving narrative, MOUNTAIN LION BLUES is a surreal, dark comedy about the obstacles we place in our way that keep us from the love, success and well-being we've been taught since childhood are ours to expect. Part absurdist love story and part existential noir, MOUNTAIN LION BLUES speaks to the mountain lion-sized hole in all of us.
Fiction.
"Adam Greenfield's vivid and bitingly funny prose explores love, loss, and the impulse to self-destruct. MOUNTAIN LION BLUES is not only a fascinating story, it's also an ode to those of us with a wrecking ball swinging around inside of us--this book is unforgettable."
—Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I'm Someone Else
