Riassunto

Lawrence is an awkward, bookish man. He’d been a grad student with a notion to write his thesis about a connection between Nathaniel Hawthorne and Nathanael West. That was before a nervous breakdown interrupted his studies and left him homeless. He finds himself on Skid Row during Operation Clean Sweep, a citywide campaign to get rid of LA’s homeless.

Lawrence is articulate, and sometimes lucid, but more often not. He is well-read, and sees current events through the historical lens of Puritan New England. He views the arrests by the LAPD as a recurrence of the Salem Witch trials. His main concerns are keeping track of his lucky quarter and a piece of blue string. But the police sweeps and the transience of homeless life silently conspire to separate Lawrence from what is even more important to him—his friends, Albert and Joey, and especially, Bekah.

Time Is the Longest Distance is a novel about disruption, loss and longing when you have almost nothing left to lose—but not quite nothing.
