Narrator Davey chronicles his life on the street with his friends and girlfriend, with astonishingly gritty depictions of America's underside that brilliantly capture the daily existence for these anesthetized teens. A first novel.

After Nirvana: A Novel

United States

William Morrow

A stunningly realized post-grunge novel in the tradition of John Rechy's City of Night from a truly provocative new voice in literary fiction 
Set in the Pacific Northwest, After Nirvana follows a small bunch of drugged-out street kids. The narrator, Davey, chronicles his life on the street with a group that includes his girlfriend, Nikki; a boy he loves, named James; a violently twisted older kid called Branch; and assorted tricks and dealers. With astonishingly gritty depictions of America's underside, author Lee Williams brilliantly captures daily existence for these anesthetized teens and includes hypnotically raunchy scenes of gay and straight sex -- usually performed for cash or drugs, some times for lust or love. After Nirvana employs a unique vocabulary (for example, sex is always called slither) and verbal pyrotechnics to tell a riveting story that is sometimes funny, often grim, but always tremendously moving. It is as powerful and original as any novel published in recent years and as real as the kids sleeping on the streets in any city or town in America.

A legendary Cuban general, Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez, is tried as a traitor to the Revolution. He meets his death before the firing squad. Who will get to write the history of his rise and fall? Can anyone objectively record the story of the great, yet controversial Ochoa? Who controls destiny? Who decides whose point of view is to be accepted as the truth? Who writes the history books? It sometimes depends on who is speaking. In Lee Williams' Author of Destiny, we encounter a myriad of points of view concerning the late general, told from nearly every conceivable angle by would-be shapers of history who each have their own agendas. There's Rool, mastermind of Ochoa's demise, trying to justify himself. There's Dell, a self-tormented ghostwriter trying to free herself from herself. There's Viviana, a young exotic dancer trying to free her former Soviet general father from prison. There's Zorn, a down-and-out artist trying to draw inspiration from the story of the mighty Ochoa. So many voices swirl together, clashing in contradiction, until the truth becomes secondary to those who deign to speak it. Destiny, it seems, is a two-way street.
