Product Description At age 24, Dave Criders life is at a crossroads, and he is consumed by a deep and seemingly irresolvable angst. Nearly paralyzed by his existential fears, he seeks solace from cut and dried academia, a nagging boss, and a failing romantic relationship via excessive drinking, fantasies of exotic women, and his immersion into the rock and roll subculture. At the end of a very long and self-destructive semester, Dave embarks on a road trip in an attempt to regain some sense of balance in his off-kilter life. Little can he imagine the spiritual and emotional roller coaster ride that awaits him on this soul-searching journey.Set amidst a swirling backdrop of late 1970s hedonistic excess, Sleeping in a Field captures the confusion and youthful anxiety of the times in a poetic, fast-paced first person narrative. About the Author Chris Owens lives in Austin, Texas where he works as a student academic advisor at Austin Community College. He and his wife love to travel and he is an avid music fan and collector. Sleeping in a Field is his first published novel.
