The Rushing Hours

About the Book

** My description of my book is (no more than 200 words): David Rioux wants the future to be better than the past. He changes everything about his life, moving from New Hampshire to Manhattan, leaving one woman for another, leaving one life for another. He finds perfection in the illustrious future that awaits him, that seems to be directly in front of him at every moment. For the first time in his life he feels truly happy.But that serene perfection begins to slip away as the past unfolds itself to him -- despite his desperate running from it. David, and everyone who surrounds him, finds himself confronted with questions that seem to be without answers: What does it mean to be happy? ... What is success? ... What is love? ... What happened to me? ... What have I done? The Rushing Hours is a darkly humorous, wildly erotic, and disturbingly poignant novel. It is the story of so many men who compulsively rush through life looking for success, finding silent despair instead. It is the story of David Rioux, who loses his grasp on reality as he tries to find happiness – who loses his dreams as he tries to make them come true.
