The first novel by the acclaimed author of The Ice Storm and Purple America traces a group of friends in Haledon, New Jersey, through one spring in their rocky passage toward adulthood. They are out of school, trying to start a band, trying to find work - looking for something to do in the degraded terrain of their suburban hometown. Garden State captures the lyricism of stark lives in an intense and unforgettable story of friendship and betrayal. With a new preface by the author.
A brilliant and uncompromising look at life as a Generation Xer. Haledon, New Jersey, is a suburb in eclipse. On the hills above the mid-Atlantic sprawl, the kids are looking for something to do. Four disaffected twentysomethings pass the time playing in garage bands, drinking in seedy bars and doing drugs--until real life finally shakes them from their stupor. 224 pp. National ads & publicity. Author tour. 20,000 print.

Garden State
I remember absolutely nothing about this book but the fact it took place in some suburban hellhole in New Jersey and one of the main characters (or all of them?) were in a band. Poor Moody. Like all modern writers, his books are great to read, but they don't live and they're like sand in my brain.
