Résumé
In the wake of a big and strange night out in New York City, two young men rise to find cataclysm and must make a modern-day odyssey through a dying America in this dazzling debut novel from a significant talentIt's October, 2020. On a Saturday night, a college sophomore and his best friend engage in an unexpected act of sexual experimentation with their female acquaintance. The next day, a prolonged series of crashes heard through a dormitory window heralds the end of something.
In simple terms: all wheels stop spinning and all screens stop shining, nothing turns on, nothing runs. Afraid of this new world and the people they share a city with, the two boys make the precipitous decision to begin walking from their place of study in NYC to the narrator's home in Ohio. As they walk, the formerly platonic contours of their relationship give way to something else. Maneuvering across the concrete skin of America, the boys slumber in the empty belly of a dead country in blissful ignorance of the threat hanging over them.
Progress is about what happens when rules change. Conceived of and started before the pandemic, this novel is a particularly relevant read in our current historical moment. Written with the chilly object-fixation of Peter Handke and the wry humor of Will Self, Progress is The Road meets Call Me By Your Name with a dash of Dhalgren. It is a transmission both awful and enormous from the heart of the new American age.
