Billy Brent and Alice Stephens are star-crossed like all great lovers. Their need for each other drives them from Istanbul to Miami, Venice to Mexico. After years of encounters and escapes, they lose themselves deep in a desert wilderness, searching for a way forward, only to learn that sometimes the trail simply forks.
From Charlie Smith, author of three New York Times Notable Books, comes his long-awaited new novel, his first in more than a decade. An exploration of the true particulars of obsession, Three Delays is a book of the spirit, of how broken people love and persist from darkness to darkness.

Three Delays
At first I thought I would not like this book - a male drug addict and his obsessive love affair didn't strike me as interesting enough to spend time on a novel from his point of view, but recommended by a reader friend, I read the first page, and was captivated. Charlie Smith's 'story' is for you if you love language. The author is also a poet, and this is sentence after sentence of stunningly beautiful prose. It's a brilliant and wracked interior animated through and in context of things, and places. I gave this a five because the writing deserves bowled me over, but the story doesn't seem to be fully fleshed out as a novel might be, though, you understand fairly early on the ride you are in for, so I had no sense of disappointment.
