Kentucky-born Clay meets Roads, a beatnik college drop-out with pretensions of being the next Kerouac. Suddenly Clay doesn't want to stay in Owensboro, become a mechanic and marry a hick girl from town. He wants to be like Allen Ginsberg, Coltrane, Miles Davis. After he drops out of college, Clay finds himself in New York City, looking to make it. But America is hit by a string of horrifying events - the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK's assassination, the Vietnam War. Is there a place for poetry in times of political unrest? Any Day Now is an absorbing coming-of-age tale of love, war and experimentation in 1960's America.

Industry Reviews

'An unsettling, funny, freaky reimagining of America, impeccably written by one of our most consistently interesting transgressors of literary boundaries' Michael Chabon 'Bisson just wrote his personal masterpiece, a book which will drop you through the floor of your assumptions about coming of age inside the politics and counterculture of the Vietnam era and into a fresh new-old world, in which you'll live, for the duration of this book, as your own' Johnathan Lethem 'Plays off the shared imagery of the bohemian underground - the story has a thrumming momentum, a sense of slangy sass and jive, light-hearted yet soulful' Washington Post
