Driving Stevie Fracasso

Author(s): Barry Divola

Australian author

Two estranged brothers, one stolen car and a road trip from Texas to New York. What could possibly go wrong?


For fans of Nick Hornby, David Nicholls and Jonathan Tropper.


Jaded music journo Rick McLennan knows his life is going south when he loses his job, his apartment and his long-term girlfriend all on the same day. But then he is thrown a lifeline: a paying gig to drive his ex-rock star brother, Stevie, from Austin, Texas, to New York to get his story and play one final gig. One small problem: the brothers have history; they haven't spoken in thirty years.Rick knows it's a bad idea. But he's out of choices. So he gets behind the wheel of a beaten-up Datsun 180B and drives towards his destiny. He's about to find everything he didn't know he was missing. It's September 2001.From high-profile, award-winning journalist and author Barry Divola comes a glorious, music-infused, rollicking road-trip novel - think High Fidelity meets The Big Lebowski meets The Darjeeling Limited. A smart, funny and wholly endearing story about how, though we may at times lose ourselves along the way, the road always leads back to family and the things that bring us joy.
