Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Chucking it all in - all the pointless anxiety, all the buzzing lite crap with which we surround ourselves - is an urge everyone feels, or ought to. In Meet John Trow, Thomas Dyja uses that impulse to drive a novel that's part satire, part domestic drama, part post-modern ghost story. And the whole thing works like a dream' - Kurt AndersenSteven Armour is a man at a crossroad- his rise up the career ladder has slowed to a crawl, and his family is slipping out of control. But life takes a dramatic turn for Steven when, on a whim, he joins a local group of Civil War re-enactors.Assigned to immerse himself in the life of Private John Trow, Steven soon finds that the complex drills of the Union army seem to come to him naturally and his growing infatuation with Polly Kellogg, the wife of the regiment's captain, fires a passion that had cooled with his own wife. While the world around him races faster and faster toward the millennium, Steven turns to the simple consolations of nineteenth-century life.But so thoroughly does Steven embrace the life of John Trow that even Steven begins to wonder if he is just playing a part, or whether the unquiet spirit of John Trow is taking him over. As Steven's identity slips through his fingers, he must ask himself what - and who - he is willing to sacrifice to become the man he believes he should have been.Meet John Trow is a moving love story and a haunting, darkly comic exploration of the links between past and present. Steven Armour joins an American Civil War re-enactment society in order to escape the anxiety of modern life. His enthusiasm knows no bounds and he throws himself into 19th-century life. But then he begins to wonder if he's playing a role or whether John Trow's unquiet spirit is taking him over.
