Where the Dead Sit Talking by Brandon Hobson
3.0
The entire feeling of this book is surreal. I wasn't sure if I was reading a fever dream, but I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sequoyah is a Cherokee teenager that is placed in foster care with an elderly couple, the Troutts, that has two other teens: Rosemary and George. The book opens with Sequoyah telling the reader he watched someone die back in 1989. He then recounts the story.
If this were a movie, it would be directed by Gus Van Sant (his early films) or Larry Clark. I'm not sure I fully connected with the main character, but I am intrigued by the writing enough to try something else by this author.
