Sunland: A Novel | Don Waters
Sid Dulaney, 30-something and between jobs, moves back to Tucson to take care of his beloved grandmother. To hold down the cost of her prescriptions, he reluctantly starts smuggling medications over the border. His picaresque misadventures involve the lovable eccentrics at her retirement village, Mexican ganglords, a voluptuous former babysitter, midnight voicemails from his exasperated ex-girlfriend, and, perplexingly, a giraffe. Sunland is an entertaining debut from an important new voice in fiction.
