About the book
Jack's wife has disappeared. She was in the car when they stopped for gas, he knows that much. He walked back from the counter, and then? Jack can't remember. But Anne has gone. John Haskell's American Purgatorio is an extraordinary debut novel, haunting, comic and achingly poignant. It's a road trip into the heart of a country and a man, a travelogue of loss and redemption, a Pilgrim's Progress for a godless world.
First sentence: I'm from Chicago originally.
