Ethan Hawke's second novel -- Ash Wednesday -- is the story of a young couple (Jimmy Heartsock, AWOL from the army, and his pregnant girlfriend, Christy) caught between love and disillusionment, and whose path to self-discovery is punctuated by passion as well as endearing quirkiness, according to Publishers Weekly.
I only mention this because this work of fiction was not selected among the 25 finest works of American fiction over the last 25 years, as judged by a distinguished panel of critics selected by the New York Times in last Sunday's book review section.
