Set in 1979, The Destiny of Salmon is the story of the unforgettable summer 16-year-old Peter Kristiansen spends as a crew member on his dad's commercial fishing boat in the dangerous waters of the Alaska Panhandle. Torn between his separated parents' different ways of life, his father's obsessive chase for a huge haul of salmon, and his own search for love, Peter thinks, "Maybe I would have run away, if I had some place to go. Or maybe Dad and I were running away together." At the heart of this tension-filled novel are a son and father, trying to figure each other out before it's too late.

At the age of 24, Mike Benjamin is visited in sleep by the angel of revelation, and commanded to carry on the work of John Steinbeck. Thus begins a 15-year quest that forever threatens to teeter into the absurd. Far from being another self-congratulatory writer's memoir, The Clandestine Novelist is a reminder that the pursuit of art sometimes carries a ludicrous price."The Clandestine Novelist is a hilarious novel with a sharply ironic edge. Mike Benjamin, the narrator, must find his way in a world that makes its artists heroes at the same time it abandons them. This is a contradiction that haunts all the Yossarians of our society."-Tony Trigilio, author of 'Strange Prophecies Anew': Rereading Apocalypse in Blake, H.D., and Ginsberg
