Illegal immigrant Adam Humphreys is forced to abandon his cosmopolitan lifestyle for remote bush camps in Northern Canada for one summer in order to earn money. Will he return to New York and his girlfriend? Or will he spend the rest of his days in purgatory?
Adam’s Summer Purgatory, 2008 (2013) follows Humphreys on this remarkable journey between two very different worlds, as he struggles with co-workers, the environment, evil, love, loneliness, questions of purpose, and an oversized sense of competition and drive. Part travelogue, part memoir, part morality play, Summer Purgatory is a fast paced, unsentimental, and ultimately life affirming statement from an exciting new writer.
