Ich freue mich, ihr kennenzulernen! - Patchen
You're one of those academic ladies who like to read old German books and lament the "patriarchal", "racist", "sexist" myths of the authors, aren't you?
Hello,

Given your interest in Michigan literature, you might be interested in my new novel, Into the Desperate Country.

Brief Description

Three years after losing his wife and daughter to a tragic car accident, Stan Carter abandons his life and retreats to his cabin in northern Michigan. But no sooner than he discovers life again, the real world intrudes on his seclusion, forcing him to return to human society. Thus Stan’s odyssey begins. Part cosmic vision quest, part farcical return to high school social dating, Stan’s story will touch anyone who’s shaken his head in disgust or dismay at the modern world.

"Jeff Vande Zande's Into the Desperate Country captures the primitive pulse of a life on the edge. Against the backdrop of Northern Michigan, a taut drama plays itself out, pulling the reader along on its tight rope. Once the logical world of our daily routines falls away, what are we left with? Vande Zande offers no easy answers in this impressive debut novel."

-- Jim Daniels, author of Detroit Tales
