Produktinformationen zu „Dangerous Crossing (ePub)“
In Dangerous Crossing, two long-time friends, Clive and C. Robert, set out from Malibu, CA in a Land Rover, loaded to the roof with most of Clive's belongings and his two dogs so that Clive, a multi-talented painter, interior designer, TV and Broadway performer, can rent an apartment in Greenwich Village and resume a dreaded but urgently needed job, peddling real-estate insurance in Lower Manhattan.The journey takes them through America's Heartland and reintroduces them to how exhilarating, illuminating, tacky and exhausting an extended road-trip can be. The two men spend every waking hour joking, challenging, criticizing, arguing and reaffirming every aspect of their lives, their work, their mutual admiration, their triumphs, failures and regrets, seeming to bare all in uproarious, often raunchy exchanges.At each stop for food, gas and lodging, they encounter folks who run the gamut of the American psyche: from the genuinely helpful to the garrulous crank; the shy-of-strangers to the generically mean-spirited and, near the end of the trip, a menacing hitch-hiker.They arrive in NYC on a gray Saturday afternoon, their friendship braised but intact. After helping Clive get installed in his Horatio Street digs, C. Robert flies home to New Orleans, convinced that his friend has settled in comfortably and is back to a remunerative work routine. Pre-dawn, three weeks later, he receives a call from Clive's sister in Malibu. The shock of her message and the excruciating pain it freights, haunts him to this day.
Autoren-Porträt von C. Robert Holloway
DANGEROUS CROSSING is C. Robert Holloway's fifth book. His first, THE UNAUTHORIZED LETTERS OF OSCAR WILDE, won the coveted Hemingway Prize and a brace of laudatory reviews. His second, MY LETTERS FROM LUDWIG, about 'Mad' King Ludwig, earned him the dubious sobriquet, 'The Kitty Kelly of historical fiction'.In 2008, his screenplay, JEAN LAFITTE, PIRATE & PATRIOT, won the Blazing Quill and Gotham Film Festival Awards. While continuing to write DANCING TO TCHAIKOVSKY, the final novel in his trilogy about gay men of genius, he took time off to conjure WRETCHED EXCESS, nine short stories offering winking offense to a wide spectrum of American society. His most recent, CHARLIE, THE WONDER CAT, a finalist in the 2010 Faulkner/Wisdom Competition, has delighted animal lovers all over the world.
Concurrent with his writing efforts, C. Robert works as production designer in films, TV, Commercials, Music Videos, Opera and Theatre. His designs for TWO SOLDIERS, the film based on a Faulkner short story, is acknowledged for helping win the 2004 ACADEMY AWARD.
C. Robert currently resides, writes and waits on his newest cat, iCharlie, at his circa 1820s garçonnière in New Orleans.
