Selected by Indie Booksellers for the October 2009 Indie Next ListIn a dreary seaside town in England, Annie loves Duncan -- or thinks she does, because she always has. Duncan loves Annie, but then, all of a sudden, he doesn't anymore. So Annie stops loving Duncan, and starts getting her own life. She sparks an e-mail correspondence with Tucker Crowe, a reclusive Dylanesque singer-songwriter who stopped making music years ago and who is also Duncan's greatest obsession. A surprising connection is forged . . .
Nick Hornby's latest novel Juliet Naked is kaleidoscope of characters: Tucker Crowe, a washed up and reclusive singer songwriter; Duncan, an obsessed fan; and Duncan's girlfriend Annie. The action takes place in America, when Duncan and Annie take a tour of places that figure into Tucker's life and work, as well as in the English seaside town of Gooleness. More at NPR.org
