Wrecked: A Novel in Fragments

By Steve Werkmeister

It's the early 1990s, and America is sliding into the grunge years with all the frustrations and desperation of a generation about to erupt to the surface. Wrecked: A Novel in Fragments is a collection of linked short stories and narrative scraps centered on Derek Constante, a young Mexican-American poet for whom there can never be too much books and TV, music and drugs, alcohol and talk. A 90s slang term, wrecked means intoxicated, but there were more dominant meanings, too, and as the broken relationships and ruined lives add up, the guilt cutting deeper each time, Constante struggles to control his own narrative, running from Nebraska to Texas and back again, knowing on the Great Plains, there's nowhere to hide.
