Save Me From Tomorrow
A Story of Generation X Abroad
“Super book, really detailed view into the speakers life and a good feel of all other characters, that Val! What a whirlwind.”
In a time before smartphones, email and the internet, a young writer decides to take off in search of inspiration, romance and, above all, a good story. It’s the early 1990s, and at the age of twenty-three, he gives up his job in Manhattan and plans to explore America in the spirit of his literary hero, Jack Kerouac. But a chance meeting with an old friend and the appearance of a beautiful and intriguing girl named Val alters his plans and shifts his location to London.
Once in London, he and Val both start working in different pubs, and each become entangled with a diverse array of Londoners and American expatriates, all with tales to tell and secrets to hide. While continuing his pursuit of Val, and still searching for that perfect story, his own life and the lives of his fellow travelers begin to converge. He will get his story in the end, but it won’t be anything he ever expected.
