CWC: Joshua Mohr at Book Passage

California Writer’s Club

When
his bicycle is intentionally run off the road by a neighbor's SUV, something
snaps in Bob Coffin. Modern suburban life has been getting him down and this is
the last straw. To avoid following in his own father’s missteps, Bob is
suddenly desperate to reconnect with his wife and his distant, distracted
children. And he's looking for any guidance he can get.



Bob Coffin soon learns that the wisest words come from the most unexpected
places, from characters that are always more than what they appear to be: a
magician/marriage counselor, a fast-food drive-thru attendant/phone-sex
operator, and a janitor/guitarist of a French KISS cover band. Can these
disparate voices inspire Bob to fight for his family? To fight for his place in
the world?



A call-to-arms for those who have ever felt beaten down by life, Fight Song ($15.95) is
a quest for happiness in a world in which we are increasingly losing control.
It is the exciting new novel by one of the most surprising and original writers
of his generation.



Joshua Mohr is the author of
the novels Termite Parade (a New York Times Book Review Editor’s
Choice selection), Some Things that Meant the World to Me
(one of O Magazine's Top 10 reads of 2009 and a San Francisco
Chronicle
bestseller), and Damascus, published in the fall
of 2011 to much critical acclaim. Mohr teaches in the MFA program at the
University of San Francisco.
