After a near-death car accident and the passing of his beloved grandmother, Kicki, Glynn entered emotional paralysis. Nearing thirty, he was single, living in New York City and thriving as an editorial assistant at Scribner. Glynn reveals his post-collegiate life, a time when he hadn’t yet settled into full-blown adulthood. Out East: Memoir of a Montauk Summer refashions the epic summer tale, dosed with lyrical brawn, grace, and ingenuity. Despite its publication date, the beach read label does not define John Glynn’s debut. Some imply that these books are elementary in content or style, yet still pleasantly edible.
Kernels of sand become trapped inside, grinding against the inner spine. Readers stash hot new titles in their weekend totes. According to seasonal marketing plans, certain clichés are preserved. Just before summer dawns, we can always expect the arrival of the beach read.
