A Thousand Miles From Nowhere (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
He woke up again and again covered in sweat. The room’s air conditioner seemed to have quit working, so he kicked away the covers and peeled off his soaked T-shirt. He lay there on his back, awake, restless, sore, his legs twitching. Even in the dark he could see the pattern of thick swirls on the ceiling, the same design as the one inside the old theater on Prytania Street where he and Amy had sometimes gone on Monday nights to watch double features of French melodramas or Scandinavian epics or corny Gene Kelly musicals. Amy loved movies, though she’d told Henry when they’d first met that she didn’t like severed limbs or bloody axes or skeletons, and she didn’t like guns or car chases or abducted children or stories about sports, except the ones, she’d explained, where some athlete or team overcomes incredible odds. Documentaries were fine as long as they weren’t about serial killers or sex-change operations or political assassinations or animal cruelty.
