Reviews
Advance Praise " Raw and funny, yet graceful and astonishingly precise , Trip is a book with the power to resonate in the most intimate ways for any reader. I read it in awe, as if Barrodale had written it just for me." --Ottessa Moshfegh, author of Lapvona and My Year of Rest and Relaxation "Amie Barrodale's Trip is an extraordinary novel. It is as if Kurt Vonnegut and Hunter S. Thompson have joined together to write a tender story of a recently dead mom who wanders the bardo but is always drawn back to her imperiled son, an autistic teenager who is on a boat with a stranger, lost at sea." --Akhil Sharma, author of Family Life " Trip is an extraordinary novel. I've read nothing like it. It is crazy, wise, sensitive, funny, and terrifying --all those things put together so fluidly you can't pick one apart from the other. Like all the best physical, chemical, emotional, and existential trips I've taken, this one blows the mind and shocks the heart ." --Christopher Bollen, author of Havoc "The wild and quirky debut novel from Barrodale ranges across two continents and the afterlife to tell the story of a mother and son's failure to connect . . . Trip's adventure story is great fun, and Barrodale's depiction of the afterlife is amusing and wonderfully surreal. It's a hoot ." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
A woman embarks on an odyssey through the afterlife to help her son, who is literally and figuratively lost at sea: a hilarious and deeply moving voyage of the body and the mind. Sandra dies suddenly at a death conference in Nepal attended by academics and mystics. Days later, back in America, her teenage son, Trip, runs away with a man who picks him up on the side of a road. Sandra tries to get a message back to Trip through the mystics, but the mystics are distracted, and her son and the strange man set out to sea. Amie Barrodale's first novel features restless souls, Buddhist deities, divorcees in recovery programs, arguing academics, uncomprehending school principals, and treatment centers for troubled teenagers. It journeys from body to body, through life and death and back again. It tells the story of a mother and son who find other people hard to understand and who are themselves misunderstood. Guiding this wild, unpredictable journey is deep devotion: the desire to save a child and to be a good mother despite it all. Wide-eyed with wonder, blazingly funny and achingly moving, Trip brings us the deeper meaning of The Tibetan Book of the Dead : the past is a memory, the future is a projection, the present is gone before we can see it.
