Lost Highway

Houghton/Mifflin

A young medic goes from his sleepy West Virginia hometown to the soul-searing terrain of the Vietnam War to learn about American "innocence" in a war that brings new horrors each day. Later the medic returns home to confront his shattered personal history and the mysterious human capacity for renewal. "Of all the many books written about the war . . . this one will be among the handful destined to endure," said Philip Caputo about this beautifully written and powerful first novel.

LOST HIGHWAY

Sapper Reeves, a gifted country musician working the back roads and taverns of the Appalachian South after World War II, finds his music as overlooked as the country he travels. Currey's explorations of a father's love for his son, a veteran's enduring dignity, and a love affair spanning half a century "stir the heart and mind in ways only the best fiction can" (Dallas Morning News).
