ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| Bump
is the story of a trio of motorists and one policeman linked together by
a tangled, life-altering web of coincidence in the immediate aftermath of
a three-car pile-up in Los Angeles. Dorothy is to be married in less than
twenty-four hours but can't shake the memory of her ex-boyfriend. Madelyn
is a married mother of two who falls in love with a man she met through
a suicide hotline. Leo is a golden-eyed Latino who speaks no Spanish and
has come to L.A. to reclaim his girlfriend. Ray is a Beverly Hills cop whose
wife has just left him. Fast-paced and vividly cinematic, Bump presents an engrossing tableau of synchronicity steered by obsession and alienation. Beautifully written and deeply affecting, Bump is hard to put down, and hard to forget. |
