Allan Wolf Books Overview

New Found Land

Follow Lewis and Clark and their crew on a perilous trek through theuncharted West in this extraordinary debut novel.I mean to tell you this story the only way I know how. That is to say, I will tell it like a river. It may meander here and there, but in the end it will always find its way to the sea. Two hundred years ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark launched their wooden boats up the Missouri River in search of the illusory Northwest Passage, a journey that would capture the American imagination and help forge a young nation’s identity. Now, in a riveting debut novel, Allan Wolf tells the story of this extraordinary voyage through the eyes of not only the famed pair but also several members of their self named Corps of Discovery. Here, in powerful, lyrical language, is a medley of voices from a surprisingly diverse crew from the one eyed French Indian fiddler who pilots the boats to Clark’s African American slave; from the young Shoshone woman who has a baby en route to Lewis’s Newfoundland dog, a ‘seer’ whose narrative resonates long after the book is closed.

Zane’s Trace

A coming of age road story with a supernatural twist and a compulsively readable poetic novel about identity and belonging. Zane Guesswind has just killed his grandfather, or so he believes. So he steals the 1969 Plymouth Barracuda his long gone father left behind and takes off on a manic trip to his mother’s grave to kill himself. Armed with a six pack of Mountain Dew, a jumbo pack of Sharpies for scribbling all over the dashboard, and a loaded gun in the trunk, he s headed to Zanesville, Ohio, with no rearview mirror and no more worries. On the way, he meets Libba, a young hitchhiker who shares his destination, and other mystic and mysterious characters. With each encounter, and every mile marker he pas*ses, Zane gets farther from the life he knows but closer to figuring out who he really is.
