WRITER’S BLOCK
A sensational new novel from the award-winning
author and filmmaker Julian Padowicz
From his miserable childhood to his mediocre career as a college
professor, fate had not been kind, or even terribly fair, to “Kip”
Kippur. But Kip’s luck changes when he inherits a house in a
small coastal village in Massachusetts. He chucks his
previous life and moves there to write the Great American Novel—a
thinly disguised autobiography.
As Kip struggles to transmute a leaden life into golden fiction, he
finds himself alone and rudderless in a strange community. He
stumbles into a mysterious murder, an awkward romance, a married lady's
hot-tub, an unusual proposal of marriage—and an invitation to sail to
Florida, during storm season, in a sailboat of questionable
seaworthiness, with an autocratic captain and a homicidal crew mate.
But Writer’s Block is more than just the tale of a late-life crisis
gone terribly awry. It’s also an intriguing portrait of a
small town and the complex people who inhabit it. It will
keep you riveted all the way to its crashing conclusion.
