Channel Zero
G. H. Thomason
In the tradition of Raymond Carver, Channel Zero is a novel of working-class couples in small-town America in the nineties. Charlie and Linda Rivers and their friends struggle with issues of infidelity, race, drinking, and work in their daily lives. Conflicting loyalties to lovers, family and friends pull at these characters, who are faced with tough decisions and serious consequences. G.H. Thomason's realistic, natural writing creates a world that seems familiar and characters that readers can care about.
Review: "Thomason's first novel is one of those books that seem to be about nothing but actually have a lot to say....Look beneath the surface and you'll find a moving portrait of the working-class couple-out-of-work Charlie Rivers and his restless wife, Linda-trying to keep their marriage together and their lives worth living. Thomason tells the story of Charlie and Linda with an eye to small details; the scenes he creates are so vivid, so visual, that readers won't read the book so much as see it played out on a movie screen in their minds....A must-read for fans of 'slice-of-life' stories."
