SYNOPSIS

Set in the early 1980s, in the fictitious Vermont village of Iraton, J.C. Myers’ spirited first novel, Junkyard at No Town, captures local language and culture in outrageous and vernacular-rich dialogue, combined with crazy and splendid descriptions and plot twists. You’ll find yourself breathless, sometimes wide-eyed, and sometimes laughing hard, as you follow young Jules’ initiation, fresh out of college, seeking a life far from his Westchester NY upbringing. Using an inheritance, he buys a 10-acre junkyard, and soon meets his zany and eccentric neighbors, hires an unlikely employee mentor, and falls in love with a woman he can’t have.

In No Town, a house burns, water flows mysteriously, people disappear or are saved, and some people die. Readers will long remember the wild, haunting comedy of Jules, Butchy Guyette, Maddy and Byron Peas, Arden Gabert (who is kidnapped by Boston thugs), Lutheria, Aunt Martha and others, as Myers reveals No Town ’s closest-held secrets, its deep loves and hatreds, its sins and its virtues.
